Although the Ashikaga Shogunate is regarded as the weakest governing system in premodern Japan, Yoshimitsu was able to establish a period of political stability. Outside politics, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu promoted culture, art, and Buddhism in Japan. Under his patronage, the traditional arts began to develop and take shape, and as a monk the Ashikaga Shogun had a strong influence on the shaping of Buddhism. In 1408, Emperor Go-Komatsu visited Kitayama to pay homage to the Shogun. On this occasion Yoshimitsu organized a grand ceremony and a splendid festival. This visit is today known as the “imperial visit to Kitayama” and was a special event at the time. Go-Komatsu’s successor was in 1412 his son, Emperor Shōkō. The well-known Zen Buddhist monk Ikkyū Sōjun was presumably his other son. I guarantee you the age and the originality.
