Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we collected documents issued by feudal lords who served as magistrates in the Toyotomi government, such as Yoshitsugu Otani and Hirotaka Terazawa, and analyzed the characteristics of their control over the territory.
Although many of the issued documents have been put into print, we visited historical archives to investigate the originals of unprinted historical materials.
