What was the Japanese national strength in the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era? Better than Ming or weaker than Ming?

Time background

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a famous Japanese soldier at the end of the Warring States Period. He led Japan from division and war to reunification. He was the actual ruler of Japan during the period of 1590- 1598 (twenty-seven years of Wanli 19 ~ Wanli of Ming Dynasty).

On the Strength of Ming Dynasty

In the Ming Dynasty, although the emperor had all kinds of strange things, the overall economy of the country was still considerable. As some people said, capitalism sprouted.

In addition, in the first decade of Wanli, Zhang, a famous reformer, carried out the Wanli New Deal, which greatly improved the administrative efficiency, economic development and military strength of the Ming Dynasty. How to treat the Ming Dynasty as a world power at that time?

Analysis of Japan's Strength

Before the Meiji Restoration in modern Japan, the degree of centralization in feudal society was relatively low, a bit like the Western Zhou Dynasty in China. Rulers are divided into different groups, which can't integrate national resources well, especially because of the lack of national resources, sluggish foreign trade and low economic level.

In addition, the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era came from the end of the Warring States Period, and the whole country was just in turmoil. Do you think the economy there can be better?

I read a book "The Great Game" which said: During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan's economy made rapid progress after the Meiji Restoration, and its GDP was only 1/4 of that of the Qing Dynasty.
