Japan's Turbulent Transition: The Ashikaga Age and Reunification Era (1338-1603)

The Ashikaga Age (1338-1573) marked significant upheaval in Japan's history, characterized by power struggles and civil strife. Emperor Godaigo's attempts at supremacy failed, leading to increased disunity and the rise of military shoguns. The Onin War (1467-1477) sparked the Sengoku Jidai, an era of internal conflict among warring states. The eventual reunification (1573-1603) under figures like Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi brought a degree of stability, but not without violence and the use of firearms in battle.
