The eighth installment of NHK's "History Summit," a program where leading historical researchers examine cutting-edge evidence and documents and present their own opinions, will be broadcast on NHK BS on December 30th at 9:00 PM. The eighth installment, "Toyotomi Regime Summit 2026," will explore the Toyotomi regime's dominance and collapse in such a short period of time. Surprising new historical documents will also be presented.
Why was the Toyotomi government able to take control of the country in such a short period of time? And why did it collapse so quickly? As accepted theories are being reconsidered, experts will gather together for an in-depth discussion. What is the true nature of the government that will likely not be depicted in the 2026 taiga drama "Toyotomi Brothers!"?
Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hidenaga, was an essential figure in his rise to power. Until now, his true character was unknown, but over the past year, extensive historical materials have been collected and analyzed. This book explores the role Hidenaga played and the true character of Hideyoshi.
