Azuchi-Momoyama period (安土桃山時代 Azuchi-Momoyama-jidai), also known as the Momoyama period (桃山時代 Momoyama-jidai),[1] is the time from approximately 1573 to 1606 in history of Japan.[2]
This period is called Azuchi-Momoyama because there were two great centers of power during this time. One was Oda Nobunaga's castle at Azuchi near Lake Biwa.[3] The other was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's castle at Momoyama near Kyoto.[4]
