In the manga _Sengoku Youko_ (same author of _Hoshi no Samidare_ ) a character
is asked by Hisahide Matsunaga if he's considered changing his last name to
Kazamatsuri, and there's a couple historical easter eggs lurking about. I
don't know if there's any (additional) significance to this last name.

Because Hisahide in the manga is rather whimsical and has some perception of
the flow of time, I feel there's something more lurking about.

question
japanese-language sengoku-youko
What is the (historical) significance of the name Kazamatsuri?


There is no historical significance in the names.

The names such as [Enra](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ybrUZ.png),
[Kazamatsuri](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hCT7J.png), and
[Arabuki](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Izp2a.png) are references to his older
work, in this case _Sanjin Sadou_ and his "Monster Town" oneshot series (see
his _Mizukami Satoshi Tanpenshuu_ compilation). Some mechanics are reused,
such as the Fairy Eye. In the latter oneshot series, there are the
[Raidou](https://i.stack.imgur.com/PhJsu.jpg) and
[Kazamatsuri](https://i.stack.imgur.com/sQ1rU.jpg) clans, who have passed down
their magic swords and stuff to modern times with the two families taking care
of the town's various demons and their hijinx.

All this probably implies that Sengoku Youko is in the same continuity with
_Sanjin Sadou_ and the oneshot series.
