Entitled: "Taiko gosai rakuto yukan no zu"; shows Toyotomi Hideyoshi having tea and being attended to by four women. Toyotomi Hideyoshi (February 2, 1536, or March 26, 1537 - September 18, 1598) was a preeminent daimyo, warrior, general, samurai, and politician of the Sengoku period who is regarded as Japan's second "great unifier". Hideyoshi is noted for a number of cultural legacies, including the restriction that only members of the samurai class could bear arms. He financed the construction, restoration and rebuilding of many temples standing today in Kyoto. Woodcut by Utamaro Kitagawa, circa 1804-06.
