Toshihito was a younger brother of the [[Emperor Go-Yozei|Emperor Go-Yôzei]]. [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] adopted Toshihito in [[1588]] in an effort to strengthen Toyotomi and Imperial ties. In [[1590]] the prince was given land worth 3,000 ''[[koku]]'' and was slated to act as Hideyoshi's governor of Japan after China's hoped-for submission (during the [[Korean Invasions]] of [[1592]]-[[1593|93]]).
In [[1620]], Toshihito commissioned the [[Katsura Imperial Villa]] to be established.<ref>Mason, Penelope. ''History of Japanese Art''. Second Edition. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson Prentice Hall, 2005. p257.</ref>
