Scope note
Period and culture in Japan, dating approximately 1334-1392, during the formative years of the Muromachi era, when two imperial seats existed: in the North of Kyoto and the South of Yoshino. Two rival courts clamied the legitimate right to rule. The schism symbolized a transition in which the civil aristocracy of Kyoto lost their political and economic power to the provincial military class.
