Colton is on page 45 of 136 of Giving Up the Gun: Japan's Reversion to the Sword, 1545-1879
-a lord’s castle was under siege and before his castle was taken he asked the attackers if the battle could stop for a moment so that he could give them his fine swords, ensuring they would not be destroyed, the attackers accepted, briefly stopped the battle as the swords were taken off the premises, and then took the castle and killed the lord. The lord died happy his swords were safe.

What a refreshing critique of modern city design/urban planning. I am biased in my love of her words since they coincide with much of what I have discovered to be wrong with the modernist movement and disingenuous development of “low income communities” in urban areas.
