Ashikaga Yoshimitsu
1358 CE–1408 CE · Heian-kyo (Kyoto)
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358-1408) was the third shogun of Japan's Ashikaga (Muromachi) shogunate, ruling from 1368 and remaining the dominant political figure even after his abdication in 1394. He ended the long division between the Northern and Southern imperial courts in 1392, curbed the power of rival provincial lords, and opened formal tribute trade with Ming China. A major cultural patron, he presided over the Kitayama cultural era and built the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) at Kyoto, which remains one of Japan's most celebrated monuments.
