The master of central Japan during the late 16th century was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified the country after a period of civil war. His rule significantly influenced religion by promoting the establishment of Buddhism and Shinto as state religions, while also suppressing Christianity, which he viewed as a threat to his authority. This consolidation of power led to a more centralized spiritual governance, intertwining political and religious life in Japan. Additionally, the policies he implemented set the stage for the Tokugawa shogunate's later isolationist policies regarding foreign religions.
