“Samurai”
Muromachi period, 15th Century
drawing on paper
During the Muromachi period (1338-1573), also
called the Ashikaga period, a profound change took place in Japanese culture. The Ashikaga
clan took control of the shogunate and moved its headquarters back to Kyoto, to the
Muromachi district of the city. With the return of government to the capital, the
popularizing trends of the Kamakura period came to an end, and cultural expression.
During the 15th and 16th centuries, the influence of the Ashikaga shoguns and the
government in Kyoto declined to practically nothing. The political newcomers of the
Muromachi period were members of land owning, military families (ji-samurai).
