NHK Educational TV's program "The Power of Our Ancestors: A Fountain of Wisdom," which teaches us wisdom relevant to the present day from our historical ancestors, will be broadcasting a selected episode, "The Power of the Regions: Oda Nobunaga, Creating New Value," from 10:00 p.m. on January 13th.

The 2026 taiga drama "Toyotomi Brothers!" will explore the wisdom of the "great boss" Oda Nobunaga, played by Shun Oguri, with the theme of "the strength of the regions."

During the turbulent Sengoku period, Nobunaga came close to conquering the country from Owari. Was the key to his victory that he was born and raised in Owari, not Kyoto? The banner bears the "Yongle Tongbao" coin. Why did he choose to use money? Why did he choose a tea bowl as a reward instead of land? What was the origin of the unique idea that even lit up Azuchi Castle?
