So, last time we forgot to mention another "wrapping" dedicated to Gifu's public transportation--
Starting March 6 through November 12, two trains serving the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line to Chubu International Airport featured a Nobunaga-themed decoration to celebrate the 450th Anniversary of Gifu.
In case you're interested in catching a glimpse of the "Nobunaga trains", you can check their schedule here!
An event to promote the knowledge and Nobunaga-trivia on the territory, the Nobunaga-ko kara no Chosenjo is a "quiz rally" featuring eight touristic spots of Gifu city.
The quiz rally started on September 24 and it will be up until November 30.
For the fujoshi out there I can't help to remind you about the Ikemen Sengoku Busho to Meguru: Gifu no Tabi event, dedicated to the otome game for smartphones "Ikemen Sengoku".
The event started on October 4 and it will last until November 30.
A special collaboration between Gifu city and the CBC TV channel resulted in a special drama set in Gifu.
Chichi, Nobunaga was aired on October 7 and it's your typical "time travel" thing with a twist.
Kazuo was played by Seiichi Tanabe, while Nobunaga was portrayed by Naoto Takanaka.
Here you can find the official page of the project.
And finally we talk about the 61th edition of the Gifu Nobunaga Matsuri, celebrated on October 7 and 8, that this year featured the stunning artwork by Tsuyoshi Nagano on its official chirashi and the special performance of actor Hiroshi Fujioka as Nobunaga during the historical parade!
It looked like both he and the audience really enjoyed themselves!
Last event of this passionate Autumn in Gifu, your typical Kiku-ningyo Exhibition in Gifu park: from October 21 to November 19, beautiful chrysanthemum will decorate the park area and statues "dressed" in living flowers will depict focal points of Nobunaga life.
--And it's all for today's report, see you again this Winter for updates in our desperate quest to feel closer to the Nobu-celebrations!
But fujoshi are yaoi fans right? I don't think the ikemen samurai would be interesting... unless you ship the samurai together, instead of with yourself LOL
ReplyDeleteMany fujoshi ship the boys together despite the philosophy of the original otome games XD...The power of a rotten soul, that's it ù_u ! (XD)
DeleteLOL, well... that's true.
DeleteBy the way, if you want to add, there's actually also another part of the collaboration. If you visit certain hotspots while playing the app, you will receive special bonuses for the game.
I don't remember them all, but you can "catch" Ieyasu at Inaba Jinja and Hideyoshi at Gifu Castle.
