	Persons of Ancient Japan
		Ashikaga (family): Japanese family that occupied the office of shogun from 1338 to 1573, known as the Muromachi period because the shogun's palace was in the Muromachi district of Kyoto.
		Ashikaga Yoshimasa (reigned 1449-1474) was unable to stop the devastating Onin War (1467-1477) between the great daimyo, and after he abdicated in 1474 to devote himself to the arts, a succession dispute hastened the family's decline.
		The Ashikaga shoguns became puppets of the contending daimyo in the bitter fighting of the 16th century, the so-called Epoch of Warring States.

		Despite the violent internecine strife of the early and late Ashikaga era, in the middle decades literature and art flourished, ruled by Zen standards of restraint and refinement.
		At the same time, the complete collapse of what little authority Ashikaga had exercised over the nation became apparent, and there was great social unrest, resulting in numerous popular uprisings.
		Under popular pressure, Yoshimasa, like other Ashikaga shoguns, repeatedly issued Acts of Grace, which, unlike those of the Kamakura period, were sweeping debt cancellations for the benefit of the whole debtor class.

	Ashikaga Takauji
		Few figures in Japanese history are as controversial as Ashikaga Takauji, a man whose actions brought down the Hojo Shikken, made the dream of Imperial restoration a reality and then tore down that dream in a war that would leave the Court divided and the country in the hands of a new warrior government.
		By 1331 the Ashikaga had grown and branched out, with Ashikaga lines to be found in Mutsu, Shimotsuke, Kozuke, Sagami, Mikawa, Mimasaka, and the Kinai region, under such later familiar names as Imagawa, Hosokawa, Hatakeyama, and Shiba.
		Aware that at least part of Ashikaga's army would be approaching by boat, Yoshisada was forced to position part of his army along the coast from the mouth of the Minatogawa east some miles to the mouth of the Ikutagawa.

		Ashikaga Takauji overthrew the Kamakura shoguns and installed himself in the Muromachi district of Kyoto.
		As the Ashikaga shoguns got weaker, the country fractured into civil war, until it was reunited and pacified under the Tokugawa Shogunate, with its headquarters in Edo (modern Tokyo).
		Ashikaga and other towns on the edge of the Kanto plain prospered as Edo grew into a bustling metropolis, two of Ashikaga's specialties being soba and silk.

		The move means that Ashikaga shareholders' capital will be wiped out, leaving them with nothing, and the government will take 100 percent of the equity in the regional lender.
		Ashikaga is the top lender in Tochigi prefecture, however, and it is not so easy to find other institutions to take over its operations, which makes all the more crucial the task of revamping Tochigi's overall regional banking system.
		The government's seizure of the shares in Ashikaga's holding company follows almost exactly the temporary nationalization of Nippon Credit Bank, once one of the world's leading lenders, in December of 1998, and Long-Term Credit Bank in 1999, both of which were ultimately sold to the private sector.

	Ashikaga shogunate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In part because the founder of the Ashikaga shogunate, Ashikaga Takauji, did so by siding with the Emperor against the previous Kamakura shogunate, the Ashikagas shared more of the governmental authority with the Imperial government than the Kamakura had.
		Thus, it was a weaker shogunate compared to the Kamakura shogunate and the Tokugawa shogunate.
		The Ashikaga shogunate was destroyed in 1573 when Oda Nobunaga drove the 15th and last Ashikaga shogun Yoshiaki out of Kyoto.

		But the structure of the bakufu was essentially a delicate balance between the Ashikaga shogunal house and about a dozen major shugo houses, almost evenly divided between collateral Ashikaga houses and nonrelated warrior families.
		From the outset, the controlling power of the Ashikaga bakufu was relatively weak, and, especially after the death of Yoshimitsu, the tendency for powerful shugo to defect became marked.
		This process began with the golden age of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu at the end of the 14th century, when scholarship and the arts flourished in the five Zen monasteries of Kyoto under shogunal patronage.

	Muromachi period Summary
		The shogunate was founded in 1336 by Ashikaga Takauji (1303–1358) after the overthrow of the Kamakura shogunate in 1333 and the failure of a brief attempt by Emperor Godaigo (1228–1339) to revive direct imperial rule between the years 1333 and 1336.
		The ensuing period of Ashikaga rule (1336–1573) was called Muromachi for the district of Kyoto in which its headquarters were located after the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (足利義満) established his residence there in 1378.
		Nevertheless, the Ashikaga bakufu was not as strong as the Kamakura had been and was greatly preoccupied with civil war.
