Oda Nobunaga ushered in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, which saw both violent unification struggles and key artistic developments from 1573 to 1600. Nobunaga was a warrior as well as a tea connoisseur. He collected famous tea utensils and turned the art of tea into a cultural mainstay by giving these utensils to other daimyo as gifts.
