In many ways, with his unification of Japan the transition from Japan’s medieval era to an early modern era began. This brought about the control on sword ownership, the creation of a stable governmental system that balanced power, the mapping and surveying of land with taxation and a ban on slavery. He built castles and lavished in collecting and the arts which has influenced Japan’s material culture.
