Hideyoshi--peasant turned general, military genius, and imperial regent of Japan--is the subject of an immense legendary literature. He is best known for the conquest of Japan's 16th-century warlords and the invasion of Korea. But his lasting contribution is as governor whose policies shaped Japanese politics for almost 300 years.
