warring state period of Japan in the middle 15th
century, Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi and
Ieyasu Tokugawa describes their proven methods
for their ultimate success and fame in Senryu,
one of the Japanese traditional forms of
poet.Nobunaga was known for his ruthlessness.
His revolutionary approaches to strengthen the
military power, such as implementing firearms and
instituting the worrier class system, led various
victories, and he gained the political power by
his power of the battles. However, one of his
ministers attempted to assassinate Nobunaga, and
he burned his castle and ended his
life.Hideyoshi was known for his creativity.
He was born as a son of poor farmer but used his
creativity to work his way up. His wisdom
impressed Nobnaga and was strongly favored by
Nobunaga. Upon Nobunagas death, he took over
the political power. He emphasized on cultural
legacies over the military power and reduced the
intensity of chaos during the warring state
period.Ieyasu was known for his patience. He
was sent to the Nobunagas clan as the hostage.
Not only his smartness and outstanding martial
arts ability, his calmness as a child impressed
Nobunaga and became his protégé. After the
Hideyoshis death, Ieyasu took over the political
power. His patient approach caused to stabilize
the political situation. His political period
continued for more than 250 years after his death
and it is the longest in the Japans history.
