 Though the Jesuits operated a movable type printing press in Nagasaki from 1590, printing equipment brought back by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army from Korea in 1593 had far greater influence on the development of the medium.Four years later, Tokugawa Ieyasu, even before becoming shōgun, effected the creation of the first native moveable type, using wooden type-pieces rather than metal.He oversaw the creation of 100,000 type-pieces, which were used to print a number of political and historical texts.
