While numerous books about Toyotomi Hideyoshi have been published, this book's distinctive feature lies in carefully distinguishing between legends recorded in the Taiko-ki and historical facts based on the latest scholarly findings. Through this approach, the true and false images of the Toyotomi family centered on the brothers, their retainers like Ishida Mitsunari, and their superiors and rivals—Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Akechi Mitsuhide—come vividly to life. Was the meeting with Hachisuka Koroku a fabrication? Is the legend of Muromatsu Castle built in one night actually historical fact? This book presents Hideyoshi's heroic tales from the Taiko-ki in easy-to-understand illustrated diagrams, making it enjoyable both as historical entertainment and as a companion guide to the 2026 NHK Taiga Drama \"Toyotomi Brothers!\" [Contents] Chapter 1: Fujikichiro's Rise to Success—From Birth to the Battle of Kanegasaki Chapter 2: Days of Battle in the Oda Army—From the Battle of Anegawa to the Battle of Yamazaki Chapter 3: The Path to Unifying Japan—From the Kiyosu Conference to the Siege of Odawara Chapter 4: Hideyoshi's Later Years as Ruler of All Japan—From Hidenaga's Death to His Own Passing Chapter 5: The Toyotomi Clan and Retainers Thereafter [Columns] Was Hideyoshi Really Monkey-Faced?
