Harano only stayed in Wanjin for a few days before taking Princess Dog and a thousand Wanjin soldiers to Komakiyama Castle, located in Komaki Township, Kasugai County.
This was Oda Nobunaga's new residence, but it had just been completed and didn't feel much like a place to live. Rather than a castle, it was more of a massive fortress complex, with military utility prioritized—there were more supply depots and barracks than actual houses.
Because of his status, Harano was stationed in one of the branch castles, whereas Princess Dog was personally escorted into Komakiyama Castle by Niwa Nagahide and his men, essentially returning to her mother's side for a visit.
Maybe Nobunaga wanted Princess Dog to meet Ikoma Yoshino, her "true love sister-in-law"?
