“NHK’s taiga dramas and the like give a very beautified depiction of the Sengoku Period (1482-1573), with really cool actors,” Kitano says. “But they’d never show homosexual relationships, like the one between Nobunaga and his attendant, Mori Ranmaru — which is a famous example — or with (military general) Maeda Toshiie. ... When you talk about homosexuality during the Sengoku Period, it was about being willing to give your life for another man.”
