| According to a letter received by Harusue KIKUTEI in 1590, it was said that Nobutada, who spent his early years in the provinces and even after returning to Kyoto had more opportunities to make friends with Nobunaga's pageboys than with the nobles, admired the samurai. |
信尹は、幼い頃から父とともに地方で過ごし、帰京後も公家よりも信長の小姓らと仲良くする機会が多かったために武士に憧れていたという（天正18年（1590年）に書かれた菊亭晴季あての手紙）。 |
