The two campains, the [[Osaka Winter Campaign]] (1614) and the [[Osaka Summer Campaign]] (1615) by which Ieyasu destroyed [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hideyoshi]]'s son Hideyori in Osaka Castle. This marked the end of the Sengoku. After this, there was no focal point for resistance to the shogunate for almost 250 years.
The two campains, the [[Osaka Winter Campaign]] (1614) and the [[Osaka Summer Campaign]] (1615) by which [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] destroyed [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hideyoshi]]'s son Hideyori in Osaka Castle. This marked the end of the Sengoku. After this, there was no focal point for resistance to the shogunate for almost 250 years.
Following the fall of the castle, and of the [[Toyotomi clan]], Tokugawa Ieyasu made efforts to recover artifacts and heirlooms owned by the Toyotomi, including ceramics, swords, [[tea ceremony|tea]] instruments and a variety of other objects. Some of these objects were repaired (ceramics, with lacquer), or, in the case of swords, reforged. Historian [[Morgan Pitelka]] identifies this as not only a result of Ieyasu's love of art and history, but also a profoundly political act, seizing ownership of these treasures previously owned by the Toyotomi.
