Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Japanese eyes

In the eyes of the Japanese, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a treacherous man. Although he was almost at the peak of that era, his actions could not be recognized in the spirit of Japanese Bushido. Japanese historians generally believe that his coming to power shows that he participated in the plan to assassinate Shingo to some extent.

Therefore, in the evaluation of later generations, Tokugawa Ieyasu is highly valued, and the important system he created in the historical development of the shogunate era is more recognized.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a legend who developed his talents in troubled times, from untouchable to samurai, is also a villain who profited from the historical torrent and power struggle.
