{{Main|Toyotomi clan}}

Like [[Oda Nobunaga]] before him, Hideyoshi never achieved the title of ''[[shōgun]]''. Instead, he arranged to have himself adopted by [[Konoe Sakihisa]], one of the noblest men belonging to the [[Fujiwara clan]], and secured a succession of high court titles. These included [[Chancellor]] ([[Daijō-daijin]]), and in 1585, the prestigious position of Imperial Regent ([[kampaku]]).<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=HQTbDphPKmoC&pg=PA168 Berry 1982, pp. 168–181]</ref> Also in 1585, Hideyoshi was formally given the new clan name [[Toyotomi clan|Toyotomi]] (instead of [[Fujiwara clan|Fujiwara]]) by the Imperial Court.<ref name=" Berry179" /> He built a lavish palace in 1587, the [[Jurakudai]], and entertained the reigning [[Emperor Go-Yōzei]] the following year.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=HQTbDphPKmoC&pg=PA184 Berry 1982, pp. 184–186]</ref>
