 Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Muromachi period
The ensuing period of Ashikaga rule (1336-1573) was called Muromachi for the district in which its headquarters were in Kyoto after the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu established his residence in 1378.
What distinguished the Ashikaga bakufu from that of Kamakura was that, whereas Kamakura had existed in equilibrium with the Kyoto court, Ashikaga took over the remnants of the imperial government.
Yoshimitsu was finally successful in reunifying the Northern Court and the Southern Court in 1392, but, despite his promise of greater balance between the imperial lines, the Northern Court maintained control over the throne thereafter.

 Ashikaga shogunate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Ashikaga shogunate (Japanese 足利幕府, Ashikaga bakufu, 1336–1573) was a feudal military dictatorship ruled by the shoguns of the Ashikaga family.
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.
The Ashikaga shogunate was destroyed in 1573 when Oda Nobunaga drove the 15th and last Ashikaga shogun Yoshiaki out of Kyoto.

 Ashikaga   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Yoshimitsu (reigned 1369-1395) was the most effective Ashikaga shogun, playing off the leading daimyo, but under Yoshinori (reigned 1429-1441), the Ashikaga lost control of the eastern Kanto region.
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.
