(2935) Osaka 60: The founder

Nihon_arekore_02964_Osaka_60_Castle_Hideyoshi_statue_100_cl

Osaka castle couldn't be missing a statue of samurai, general and daimyo Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣 秀吉, 1537-1598), one of Japan's three unifiers and the man who actually had it built; he died one year after its completion.
