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.^[2] The other was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's castle at Momoyama near Kyoto.^[3]
