Toyotomi clan
The Toyotomi clan was a powerful Japanese family founded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the late 16th century. Hideyoshi unified Japan after a period of warring states, establishing centralized control and implementing reforms. Although the clan's dominance lasted only a few years after Hideyoshi's death, it played a key role in shaping Japan's political landscape before being replaced by the Tokugawa shogunate. The Toyotomi are remembered for their military prowess, political strategies, and efforts to stabilize and unify Japan during a transformative era.
