The location chosen by the Oda Danjo Chonosuke family to hold Oda Nobuhide's funeral was Juewang Mountain Temple, not too far from Oda Nobuhide's residence, Mosen Castle. If you looked at this place in modern times—as Harano roughly estimated—it would seem to be in the Chikusa Ward of Nagoya City, though he couldn't be sure. After all, five hundred years had passed and the terrain had changed quite a bit.
Juewang Mountain Temple naturally sat atop Juewang Mountain itself, and now the local powerful clans, earth warriors, household samurai from the Oda Danjo Chonosuke family, as well as invited temple abbots, shrine priests, and other guests, with attendants easily numbering over a thousand, were all crowded onto this low little mountain.
Harano and Ah Man were also mingling among them. But here on Juewang Mountain, he was at best just a small fry, his assigned spot way at the back—so much so he was nearly squeezed in with the troupe of female dancers.
