	Muromachi period Summary
		The Muromachi period (1333–1573) in Japanese history was named after the location in northeastern Kyoto of the offices of the military government, or shogunate, of the Ashikaga line of the warrior rulers (shoguns).
		The Muromachi period (also known as the Ashikaga period) was one of the most tumultuous ages in the history of Japan.
		Toward the end of the Muromachi period, however, independent territorial domains ruled by warrior chieftains called daimyo appeared throughout the country, and from about 1560 on, these domains were unified by a series of warlords whose triumphs led finally to two and a half centuries of peace under the Tokugawa shogunate (1600/1603–1868).

		Even as the dominant tastes of the tea ceremony changed over time and more flamboyant pots came to be favored, the majority of Japanese stoneware from the Momoyama and early Edo periods continued to be characterized by unusual shapes, rich glaze colors and textures, and often highly individualistic and playful decorations.
		For the tea practitioners of the Momoyama period, this object would have been appealing precisely because of its imperfections.
		The potter then applied the glaze to produce the uneven drips and imperfections and the jar was fired at temperatures between 1200 C and 1300 C. The clay fused to produce a body that is harder than earthenware and is impermeable.
