Death by Yuyuko Moeness
Yes, it's some historical war-related place.
But to actually explain it would require a bit of Japanese history, so I'll leave it to somebody more knowledgeable.
A pit of mothingness
They discussed it a bit on the wiki, here

To summarize: The Battle of Okehazama is some super-famous historical event that everyone knows from history class, and 'Oke' was replaced by 'Hana', which means "Flower" and is the first kanji in Kasen's name. (華)
Episode 5 of Memories of Phantasm is announced.

Futo is truly a ridiculous person.
The 11th Touhou popularity polls have begun.
The Shrouded Knight
I have just managed to beat DDC. I was playing on Easy Mode with Reimu B. I used a continue, so I got the "bad ending" Not understanding Japanese, I didn't understand what actually happened, though, and it's not on the wiki like the game dialogue.
But still, I consider it an accomplishment.
The Living Guildpact rules that coffee is an acceptable substitution for rest as specified in subsection … whatever.

Apparently the patcher now works with the Playism version of DDC. Or something.
Even if it doesn't, the endings should be on the patcher website.
The Hakurei Shrine
Reimu's spirit had been crushed.
Reimu: "Yikes!
Without my purification rod, this is awful..."
Reimu was crushed under the mighty Miracle Mallet.
She must practice so as not to rely on her rod!
Ending No. 08 — Practice is key!
Aim for a no-continue clear!

Wow, that was a lot of art, and for me, a record in how many I really liked 
I saved the Kanako, Momiji, Wakasagi-Suit and Orin ones. But that Wakasagi-Suit one... that is really impressive, manages to basically tell a whole heartwarming fanfic story about her friends now being able to hang out with her underwater in one picture with no words 
Really nice.

From the commentary:
Nitori: Eye protection is also being developed
Wakasagihime: ✧Wonderful✧

It's going to end with Nitori extorting as much payment money as possible, isn't it...?
BOW TO THE CHICKEN GODDESS
Well, OK, no words in the picture itself 
Not in any way directed at you personally 
, but that did spur me to bring up the topic of Nitori's recent fandom characterization, which has been bothering me for a while now.
It seems to be accepted fact by the fandom now that Nitori is this horrible moneygrabbing scammer or whatever, which makes me very sad. No, in case you accuse me of that, I do not want a return to the MOF days when she was just a shy, nice moeblob (although I never do mind nice chars in Touhou) ; she is more interesting with more personality. After MOF, it just went like downhill super-quick in the fans' minds: "she talks bad about people behind their backs in SA!" + "she and all other kappa kill people!" + whatever she does in HM (sorry, maybe I read it once and forgot, so I'm not sure exactly what she does in HM; but apparently, she's Kappa Hitler) And that's where we are now.
But seriously: everyone in Touhou talks about people behind their backs and does more rude things on a daily basis. As to the killing people thing, y'all know I don't like that aspect of canon, no matter what char or species does it... but you can't especially condemn Nitori for that, you'd have to condemn 90% of all chars as murderers.
What everyone seems to ignore when condemning Nitori as this heartless scammer is the very much canon FS. It was FS which made me super happy because it gave us canon proof that Nitori definitively has good sides. I commented on it here at the time, but I'll do it again here: the Adorable Seal chapter. When reading it for the first time, I was super sad and worried because I feared that we would get Nitori portrayed as this heartless Captain Planet-like villain who exploits and torments this animal for financial gain. But, contrary to fanon and thankfully, it didn't happen at all. She specifically points out that she doesn't want to force the seal to do anything it doesn't want to, doesn't want to stress it out, and as soon as the seal gets sad, she gets an animal expert on the case right away and then immediately fixes the problem so the seal is happy again <3. Please, if that doesn't convice you about Nitori's good sides, then nothing will Additionally, the Planetarium was also in no way a scam. It provides a service that makes people happy, and nothing indicates any sinister motive at all.
So, that went a bit longer than expected, but I wanted to get that off my chest
To be fair though, Nitori is more of a pragmatic businesswoman, in the sense her actions are pretty much justifiable in terms of business sense (monopoly on fishing industry) even if others may not think so.
I think what spurred a good part of the fanbase to change her characterisation completely was that it probably came to most people as a shock that in SA this nice girl from Mo F who called everyone "ally" is suddenly more callous with her choice of words to the other characters.
And it's Wa HH, not FS, FS really only talks about how Nitori owns a warehouse.
BOW TO THE CHICKEN GODDESS
OH GOD you're right 
, yeah, sorry, Seal and Planetarium were in WAAAAGHHHH!!! I do mix those two together quite often. Both kinda mix to form "the Touhou Worldbuilding Manga Series" ^^. I don't remember the warehouse thing exactly, there was the thing with the invisibility and the lanterns, right? I think she also wasn't a jerk there, so, yeah. Point still stands.
Good way to put it, Zansnae Pragmatic businesswoman with some rude and some very decent sides to her, not a Captain Planet caricature.

As I keep saying, I think the problem is that Touhou characters are, ironically enough, too human. Being secretly arrogant, talking about people behind their backs and being a pragramatic businessperson are all very normal human traits, just like how grumpy jerk Reimu gets to occasionally be struck by cuteness like the young woman she is. If you wrote a short profile for me as a character and made sure to point out some of my bad sides, a lot of people would consider me a terrible person, too.

Well, in ULiL she tries to sell the Occult Balls while knowing that they always come back to her on their own. And explicitly tells Miko she was ripped off. So she definitely has this "the victim is at fault for being scammed" side to her. I don't think you can say she's just a pragmatic, business-minded person.
I don't see it as any different from, say, Marisa though. She's gonna borrow your stuff, for the rest of her life? It doesn't mean she's a horrible person, and she's done plenty of nice things too, but she's characterized as a loveable rascal so she does rascal stuff. And rascal stuff isn't always nice.
Incidentally, I'm reminded that Nitori also uses the "ze" that Marisa is famous for. I think they're meant to be somewhat similar: rough talking, snarky, yet hardworking people.

I've been wondering for a while, but what does Hanahazama mean? I don't want to presume and then be wrong.
Or is it a place?
