The Azuchi–Momoyama period (安土桃山時代 Azuchi-Momoyama jidai?) is the final phase of the Sengoku period (戦国時代 Sengoku jidai?) in Japan. These years of political unification led to the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate. It spans the years from c. 1573 to 1600, during which time Oda Nobunaga and his successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, imposed order upon the chaos that had pervaded since the collapse of the Ashikaga shogunate.
