The Battle of Okehazama. Nobunaga's forces, outnumbered twenty to one, were at an overwhelming disadvantage, yet still achieved a miraculous victory. A meticulously calculated strategy and bodies rigorously trained to ultimate toughness ­– those who followed Nobunaga to victory in battle surely must have regarded him as a man of incalculably immense caliber. TG NOBUNAGA is modeled on the sand lance, with design and modeling accomplished using CATIA V5 (software used in designing aerospace equipment). The form fashioned of tungsten imparts a sense of heft, and plummets to the seabed where the targets await as if on wings of wind. After it reaches the bottom, you just jerk gently. Delicate balance retards its descent. In its horizontal orientation, it appears to be an incredibly natural item waiting to be taken – ready to conquer the daimyo warlords residing at the sea floor.
