The Shogunat of Ashikaga (足利幕府, Bakufu Ashikaga, 1336-1573) was a feudal military regime directed by Shogun of the clan of Ashikaga.
This time is also known under the name of Muromachi and draws its name from the district of Kyôto where the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu establishes its residence.
Kyôto is the center of the bakufu of Ashikaga. The founder of Shogunat, Ashikaga Takauji, dissociated his predecessors by supporting the emperor in the fight against Bakufu of Kamakura, thus Ashikaga were closer to the imperial authority than their predecessors who sought to move away some. Their influence was consequently much more reduced than that of the shogunats Minamoto or Tokugawa. However, the majority of the provincial capacities remained between the hands of the provincial lords, the Daimyo, and the military capacities of the shogun depended for major part of the allegiance made with potentate of Ashikaga. Whereas the daimyo developed with the continuation of the supreme capacity, the reduced allegiance exploded in an open war towards the end of the period of Muromachi, so known under the name of period Sengoku.
Shogunat of Ashikaga was évincé in 1573 when Oda Nobunaga led fifteenth and last shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki out of Kyôto. Then, Yoshiaki received protection of the Mori clan to the Western of the Japan and was required later by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to accept it as wire adoptive but that there refused. The family Ashikaga perdure still today.
