#Honnoji is a Buddhist temple best known for “The Incident at Honnoji”, the moment in #JapaneseHistory when Oda Nobunaga and his forces fell. Mitsuhide Akechi betrayed Nobunaga and had his soldiers surround the temple. Knowing that he would be defeated, Nobunaga set the temple on fire and committed seppuku at midnight, along with his loyal assistant, Ranmaru Mori.
