なくまでまとうほととぎす

I can wait Take all the time you need

The different personalities of three legendary daimyo are illustrated in a passage where they respond to a cuckoo時鳥 that refuses to call鳴. Oda Nobunaga says, 'If you don't call, I'll kill you,' illustrating his ferocity. Toyotomi Hideyoshi says, 'If you don't call, I'll make you call,' illustrating his ingenuity. Tokugawa Ieyasu says, 'If you don't call, I'll wait待 here until you do,' illustrating his patience.
