Who is regarded as Japan's second "great unifier", and is reponsible for taking Miki Castle of Harima Province from Bessho Nagaharu?
Toyotomi Hideyoshi Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣 秀吉 , March 17, 1537 – September 18, 1598) was a preeminent "daimyō", warrior, general, samurai, and politician of the Sengoku period who is regarded as Japan's second "great unifier". He succeeded his former liege lord, Oda Nobunaga, and brought an end to the Warring States period. The period of his rule is often called the Momoyama period, named after Hideyoshi's castle. After his death, his young son Hideyori was displaced by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Fujiwara no Korechika Fujiwara no Korechika (藤原 伊周 , 974 – February 14, 1010) , the second son of Michitaka, was a "kugyo" (Japanese noble) of the Heian period. His mother was Takashina no Takako, also known as Kō-no-Naishi (高内侍). His sister Teishi (Sadako) was married to Emperor Ichijō, and Korechika aspired to become the regent ("Sessho") for his young brother-in-law after his father's death. Korechika's (ultimately fruitless) ambitions pitted him against his powerful uncle, Fujiwara no Michinaga, and the resulting power struggle continued until Empress Teishi's unexpected death. This left Michinaga's daughter, Shoshi, as Ichijō's sole empress, solidifying Michinaga's power at court.
