Toshihito had ties with Hideyoshi and was also a fine aesthete, no wonder he wants to help Hideyori. Katsura's villa is considered a masterpiece of garden art and it's said it was designed by Kobori Enshu. I read somewhere that part of the garden was built over Oribe's land, but I can't find the source anymore.

Date constantly getting caught in his ambition and changing goal posts is sad. I wonder if his influence will last since each timeskip changes what's popular in aesthetics.

Okuni copied his mannerism to create kabuki. Shigezane is right.

Man, the last page makes me feel old/tired. "you wake up one day and your legs, they just give and you just can't run anymore."
There is an odd calmness there, like a big sigh after a long run going "oh well". I guess it is, or at least something close to acceptance?

It seems like the flowers Date saw have either always been there and he's just too focused doing his thing or the only turn into flower recently without notice, it kinda reminded me of the conversation between Tokugawa's vassal and ex-vassal way back when Rikyu is still alive, where they talk about sakura tree and how rarely they truly appreciate its beauty.

I think Araki also said something about "like flower on the side of the road" when he appears again for the first time after Hideyoshi's rule? Or was it grass.

Oribe back when Nobunaga is alive is also pleased with a flower he found on the side of a road.
