·13 min·1 clip

Hideyoshi used stone waterways to standardize space, allowing the state to monitor citizens and control society through infrastructure.

This episode analyzes how 16th-century warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi designed Osaka not just as a city, but as a sophisticated device for social control and economic power. It explores his hidden infrastructure for surveillance, forced relocation of merchant elites, cultural legitimacy projects, and massive waterway engineering, framing it all as a calculated 'urban technology' that shaped modern Osaka.
