This book is about an era of great success and glory in Japanese history, an era when heroes are vying for the throne and moving toward unification, and an era that lays the foundation for Japan's transformation into modernity. The Azuchi period and the Momoyama period are closely related and complement each other. The former loses something, the latter gains something. The Azuchi era was an era of exploration, trial and error, and the Momoyama era was an era of error correction and success. The stage of activities in the Azuchi period was concentrated in Kinai, Tokai, Higashiyama, Sanin, and Sanyo. The stage of activities in the Momoyama period expanded to the whole of Japan and as far away as Korea, China, and the Nanyang Islands. In other words, the Azuchi period has local characteristics, and the Momoyama period has local characteristics. How does power transfer from top to bottom, from generals to leaders, from leaders to family chiefs, and from family chiefs to their cronies? What is the relationship between the emergence of the phenomenon of "lower and higher" and the formation of Japan's troubled times? How does social disorder break down "mobility barriers" and lead to the emergence of heroes in large numbers? What role did Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi play in Japan's transition from division to reunification, and from decline to revival? This book will answer it in detail.
