The Brothers Toyotomi

NHK is broadcasting an historical drama about 16th century Shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his brother, Hidenaga (The two were born peasants; Hideyoshi's rise is the stuff of legend). Anyhow, he was most interested in geography and cartography, commissioning a map drawn on screens, currently preserved at Jotokuji https://share.google/79pGKpdvAv9HGZUh9
