Historical Background: This work was made during the Muromachi period, around the Oei era, beginning in 1394.
\nThe Muromachi Shogunate was established in Kyoto in 1338 by Ashikaga Takauji.
\nWhile continuing many policies of the Kamakura Shogunate, it flourished under the third shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, through the appointment of shugo daimyo to govern the provinces and through trade with Ming China.
\nThe fourth shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimochi (in office: 1394-1423), is often associated with the cultural foundations of Japanese aesthetics that continue to influence modern Japan.
\nAlthough he was the legitimate son of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he was on poor terms with his father and refused entry to Ming envoys because of the tributary relationship with China.
\nHe subsequently terminated trade and diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.
\nThe fifth shogun, Ashikaga Yoshikazu (in office: 1423-1425), became shogun at the age of 16.
\nDue to poor health and heavy drinking, he died at the age of 19.
\nAfter his retirement, Ashikaga Yoshimochi resumed responsibility for governmental affairs as acting leader.<\/p>\n
