The JJRS just published an excellent article by Dan Sherer on Oda Nobunaga's relationship with religious institutions. The article challenges the view, long held by historians, that Nobunaga was hostile toward religion. Using a trove of primary sources, Sherer argues that it was much more completed.

We have been doing this for decades. Thanks to the foresight of our predecessors, our journals and books were made available open access online back in the 90s. Having a long history of online availability, allowed us to be listed in indices and databases like JSTOR.
