During the first century of Japan's early modern era (1580s to 1680s), art and architecture created for the imperial court served as markers of social prestige, testifying to the enduring centrality of the palace to the cultural life of Kyoto. Emperors Go-Y?zei and Go-Mizunoo relied on financial support from ruling warlords--Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Tokugawa shoguns--just as the warlords sought imperial sanction granting them legitimacy to rule. Taking advantage of this complex but oftentimes strained synergy, Go-Yozei and Go-Mizunoo (and to an unprecedented exent his empress, Tofukumon'in) enhanced the heriditary prerogatives of the imperial family.
