Nobunaga Tapestries

The Oda clan (織田) was a family of Japanese daimyos who were to become an important political force in the unification of Japan in the sengoku jidai. Though they had the climax of their fame under Oda Nobunaga and fell from the spotlight soon after, several branches of the family continued as daimyo houses until the Meiji Restoration. This is the kamon (family crest/emblem) of the Oda clan, Oda mokko, the artsy stylized of quince flowers. Below the crest is “Oda” in kanji.

"Yasuke arrived in Japan in 1579, coincidentally crossing paths with feudal lord and one of the first "Great Unifiers" of Japan, Oda Nobunaga. Eventually, he was shown favor and was allowed into the warrior clan. Colorism is still an issue in Japan, yet there is no denying the bond we share, with writing from even W.E.B DuBois saying in some ways it was a safe space. There is hope for the future, there was hope in the past. Sources: www.aaihs.org/the-significance-of-yasuke-the-black-samurai
