The Muromachi Shoguns: Involvement of Fifteen Ashikagas in Wars and Arts

The exhibition portrays the 240-some years of rule by the fifteen Ashikaga shoguns of the Muromachi bakufu, based in Kyoto. The masterful works the individual shoguns treasured hint at their individual character and their eventful lives. Thirteen statues of the Muromachi shoguns, never before shown all together outside the Tojiin temple, are included.
