Emerging as successful warlords in times of chaos and civil war, Hideyoshi and Henry IV rose to the pinnacle of power in their respective states. Born a peasant, Hideyoshi distinguished himself as a samurai vassal of a ruthless and cruel lord, eventually placing every province in Japan under his military control. Henry IV, although born a prince, faced challenges as a religious dissident. Once in power, both rulers provided the foundations for unified nation-states. Their architectural legacy features monuments intended to remind subjects of a shared cultural identity. At the same time, leisure spaces opened to provide new signs of social distinction for members of the feudal elite who transitioned from a warrior to a courtier class in a more peaceful society.
