Muromachi Period

Since the 14th century, Muromachi style Zen Buddhism has influenced art and design. It is influenced in parallel by the Chinese influence, but it is attracting attention and influence even in today's world. Over the years, Japanese ink painting has been consistent with the foundation of nature and simplicity. That is the beginning of Japan's minimalism. Is it intentional? The open composition of space and paper content is the key to today's design. Almost all the art forms still appreciate the simplicity of the monochrome work.

The music we know today is advertised and formalized by a person named Zimi in the Muromachi Period (1333-1573). This is the work of Zeami who gathered government support for the art form. Unfortunately, Zeami later lost support of the government and was deported to Sado Island. Later, four major groups were founded and sponsored by shrines and temples. In the Tokugawa period (1603-1867), the shogunate used it as an official ceremonial art and promulgated rules on governance. As a result, Neng is becoming more standardized, emphasizing tradition rather than innovation. During this period, a fifth theater company was added and five major orchestras were produced.

Muromachi era is a part of Japan's history from 1336 to 1573. The time scale shows governance related to the Ashikaga Shogunate also called Muromachi Shogunate. This was officially established by Kaohsiung Kazuo, the first Muromachi Shogaku general, in 1336. Government energy from Go - Daigo emperor closed the Kemmu renovation. At the end of 1573, the 15th and the last generals' general, Yoshiaki Ashikaga was driven out by Nobunaga Nobunaga of Kyoto.

The Muromachi period began in 1336 when the Ashikaga shogunate was officially established. In the northern and southern courts of Japan Nakagami Town is used to describe the early Muromachi from 1336 to 1929. Ryuji Ashikaga received assistance from warriors who had dissatisfaction with the governance of Go-Daigo emperor, was able to abolish the emperor and appoint him as a general officer. Ryuji Ashikaga is from Kyoto, the emperor Go-Daigo who escaped the prison founded a headquarters near Nara. The Muromachi period was named after Kyoto, third generation generals Yoshihiro Ashikaga founded the headquarters.

A new shogunate appeared in the Muromachi era, this time we established a court in the Muromachi area of ​​Kyoto. Tea ceremonies, rooms with tatami mats, Noh drama, etc are regarded as Japanese. Until now, the rank of the army was clearly inferior, but the art forms such as Noh provided a cultural space where major warriors and members of the court can gather. Until the end of the 16th century when Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan, the political equilibrium of the Muromachi shogunate quickly disappeared. This is also the era when cross cultures are entering guns, wines, Christianity, and exotic Portuguese costumes and helping to create a culturally excessive culture dominated by Nobunaga and Hideyoshi.
