NHK Educational TV's program "The Power of Our Ancestors: The Fountain of Wisdom," which teaches us modern wisdom from our historical ancestors, will air "Toyotomi Hidenaga and Nene: Family Wisdom Supporting Leaders!" from 10 PM on January 1st. The program will focus on Toyotomi Hidenaga and Hideyoshi's wife, Nene, and provide a detailed analysis of their surprisingly little-known true selves based on historical facts. It will also introduce the secrets of supporting troublesome leaders.
Toyotomi Hidenaga is the protagonist of the 2026 taiga drama "Toyotomi Brothers!". But was his true identity more than just a loyal assistant? What was his true intention in defying his troublesome older brother who only gave detailed instructions? What was his intention in building a castle with a tower in Yamatokoriyama, which shocked the people of his domain? And what was his mastery of making money?
Hideyoshi's wife, Nene, put up with her husband's lack of tact and did her best to protect Toyotomi. We also look into the final stroke of good fortune that came from her honest work.
