The Ashikaga shogunate (足利幕府), also known as the Muromachi shogunate (室町幕府),[1] was the feudal military government that ruled Japan from 1336 to 1573, from their seat of power in the capital of Kyoto. The shogunate was established after Ashikaga Takauji was appointed Shōgun following his overthrowing of the Kenmu Restoration in support of Emperor Go-Daigo.[1] The Ashikaga shogunate collapsed with the advent of the Ōnin War (1467-1467) which led to the Warring States period, an era in which the shōguns were impoverished and essentially powerless, both politically and militarily.[2] The shogunate came to an end in 1573 when the 15th shōgun Ashikaga Yoshiaki failed in trying to overthrow his benefactor Oda Nobunaga, who responded by marching to Kyoto and expelling him.[3]
