Wow, I had no idea Nobunaga wrote such poetry ;)

I know he almost conquered Japan, was assassinated by one of his
vassals, Akechi Mitsuhide, and his most ruthless vassal Hideyoshi paved
the way for Tokugawa.  And he supposedly really liked sugary treats that
the Portuguese brought over (this was before Ieyasu had locked shit down 
to the secular Dutch - he saw Christianity and hated it).
