 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.

The members of the Ashikaga shogunal family were likewise engaged in the collection of old picture scrolls and the production of new ones, beginning from the period in which they established the first ever warrior government in Kyoto during the mid-fourteenth century.
