Jurakudai

The emperor was escorted by many Court nobles, mounted samurai (including Hideyoshi's foremost generals), and "innumerable men at arms".

The emperor stayed in the palace for five days, and the daimyō gathered there were asked to sign an oath to the following principles: Kusunoki Masatora is the source for these events, having recorded them in his diary.

Here Hideyoshi displayed a vast amount – approximately 5.5 tonnes (6.1 tons) – of gold and silver heaped on plates; it was then distributed among those gathered.

However, Hideyoshi began to construct his new castle in 1594 and when Hidetsugu was forced to commit seppuku in 1595, the Jurakudai was dismantled, with many parts being moved to Fushimi and reassembled.

Some buildings of the Jurakudai survive, among them the Hiun-kaku at Nishi Hongan-ji, the Karamon at Daitoku-ji, and the front gate at Myōkaku-ji (all in Kyoto).
