Talk:Nobutada Oda

In Nobutada's "Early life" section there is a reference of him and Nobukatsu arranging the funeral for Kyuan Keiju. This is not correct. Either it's a mistranslation of Wikipedia, or something else.

Wikipedia Japan's entry was saying that there are theories that the two men's mothers were confused or lumped together due to their posthumous names being so similar. As I added to the folklore section, Kitsuno's posthumous name was supposedly Kyuan Keisho, and because both names start with "Kyuan", people writing in later date might have gotten them confused.

In the temple where Kitsuno was buried, the chief mourner was recorded to be Nobukatsu. It's not common for the deceased's second son to serve as chief mourner, and it should have been the oldest son. So the assumption is made that Nobukatsu and Nobutada have different mothers.

The thing about the year 1571 is that Nobutada wrote a letter exempting the temple from taxes because it is where his mother was buried, and the letter was signed with his childhood name "Kimyou". He sent another letter, repeating the order, in 1577.

The reference about "spending his childhood with Kyuan Keiju" seems to be a mistranslation from Wikipedia. Google-translated it may seem to say something about childhood or birth place, but it's actually saying "this is where my mother's mortuary tablet is placed".
