El Periodo Azuchi-Momoyama (安土桃山時代 azuchi momoyama jidai?) comenzó al concluir el período Sengoku en Japón, cuando la política de unificación del shogunato Tokugawa se llevó a cabo. Este período se extendió entre los años 1568 al 1603 aproximadamente, acompañando al mandato de Oda Nobunaga y el de su sucesor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Este periodo toma su nombre por el castillo de Nobunaga, el Castillo Azuchi y el castillo de Hideyoshi, el Castillo Fushimi-Momoyama. El período Azuchi-Momoyama comenzó con la entrada de Nobunaga a Kioto en 1568, cuando condujo a su ejército a la capital imperial para instalar a Ashikaga Yoshiaki como el decimoquinto y último shōgun del shogunato Ashikaga hasta la llegada al poder de Tokugawa Ieyasu después de su victoria con el apoyo del clan Toyotomi en la Batalla de Sekigahara en 1600.

The Azuchi–Momoyama period (安土桃山時代 Azuchi-Momoyama jidai) is the final phase of the Sengoku period (戦国時代 Sengoku jidai) in Japan. These years of political unification led to the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate. It spans the years from c. 1573 to 1600, during which time Oda Nobunaga and his successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, imposed order upon the chaos that had pervaded since the collapse of the Ashikaga shogunate. Although a start date of 1573 is often given, this period in broader terms begins with Nobunaga's entry into Kyoto in 1568, when he led his army to the imperial capital in order to install Ashikaga Yoshiaki as the 15th – and ultimately final – shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate. The era lasts until the coming to power of Tokugawa Ieyasu after his victory over supporters of the Toyotomi clan at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. During this period, a short but spectacular epoch, Japanese society and culture underwent the transition from the medieval era to the early modern era. The name of this period is taken from two castles: Nobunaga's Azuchi Castle (in Azuchi, Shiga) and Hideyoshi's Momoyama Castle (also known as Fushimi Castle, in Kyoto).Shokuhō period (織豊時代 Shokuhō jidai), a term used in some Japanese-only texts, is abridged from the surnames of the period's two leaders (in the on-reading):Shoku (織?) for Oda (織田) plus Hō (豊?) for Toyotomi (豊臣).
