TOYOTOMI HIDEYOSHI LEADER
The second of Japan’s "Great Unifiers," Toyotomi Hideyoshi brought Japan under one rule in the chaos of the Sengoku period. Beginning his career as a lowly footsoldier, Hideyoshi rose to become one of Oda Nobunaga’s most trusted retainers and a fearless warrior, as well as a patron of the arts.

HEIAN JAPAN - APEX AGE: ANTIQUITY
By the light of the moon, in carefully cultivated gardens and elaborate villas, the poets of Heian Japan wrote their tales. The Heian period begins with the establishment of Heian-kyo (today Kyoto) in 794 CE, and marks the last era of classical Japanese history. It was a time of refinement, when men and especially women of the court cultivated literature into a high art; it was also a time of rural neglect and decay, when the countryside grew increasingly restless, riven with tensions between ambitious clans. This tension was to erupt in a revolt in the early 12th century, and the subsequent rise of the shogunates that were to dominate Japanese history for centuries afterward.
