About This Content

The Sengoku Japan civilization is now available in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII!*

The Sengoku period was a war of all against all, when fortunes of samurai and daimyo were made and lost, and the source of many of the classic tales of feudal Japan. Beginning in the late 15th century and as feudal power grew, regional lords and clan leaders fought over control of the imperial throne, using European guns, ninja clans, temple armies. The period featured such figures as Hattori Hanzo, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokugawa, securing the shogunate in 1603, ended the conflict, and established a centuries-long peace.
