Sengoku Jidai Resource Links

[Koneko]

Looking for some info for accuracy? Want to learn more about something your character might do? Maybe you just want an idea of what your character might eat, what they wear or how their daily routine might be in the Sengoku Jidai era!

I’ve collected some links and will collect and add more as I go to provide a quick on-board resource guide for anyone looking for some information. I may include at least some links to YouTube videos or eventually create/include a playlist link if need be in a post under this main one.

This will be a continuous list curated as I come across new/better/more info to share with everyone to reference as they need!
