Toyotomi’s Early Life in Omi/Kaga
Toyotomi was born in the village of Ōmi, in Owari Province (now part of present-day Nagoya). His family was not very wealthy but was respectable.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s mother died when he was five years old. When he reached age seven, his father took him to Kyoto, to live with his two older brothers. He did not fit well at school there, and someone suggested that he join the family business of weaving cloth for clothing which was a moneyed trade that could support him even if he were not able to find other work. When Toyotomi reached age 15 or 16, his father died and the weaving trade stopped being profitable because of competition from European imports.
