About Oam Monogatari: Sono Natsu, Watashi ga Shitta koto

Here is what Oam Monogatari: Sono Natsu, Watashi ga Shitta koto (おあむ物語 その夏、わたしが知ったこと) is about (2018), retold in plain terms. The setup: A tourism promotion anime for Ogaki Town in the Gifu Prefecture. It is based on Oam Monogatari, a book about a woman who spent her coming-of-age during the Sengoku Era.

Also worth knowing: Oam is the main character and is the daughter of Yamada Kyoreki who is a vassal to the warlord Ishida Mitsunari. It offered one of the few historical viewpoints of a noble teen/woman's life during the wars. The anime jumps between past the present as we learn about Oam's struggles at Ogaki Castle (which would become ground zero for Clash of Sekigahara which established Tokugawa as the shogunate).
