The Ashikaga Period (known as the Muromachi period) lasted for 237 years. The Ashikaga clan ruled it, a Japanese Samurai clan. This period of time is categorised by it's imaginative achievement theatre, literature, gardening and the tea ceremony. The daimyo recollected a large quantity of power, thus gaining the ability to strongly influencing political events and cultural traditions at the time. The Ashikagan Shoguns could not control the daimyo. The incontrollable daimyo fought one another in hope of gaining more power, and this did not lead to good things.
