Ashikaga Tadayoshi
Samurai, Deceased Person
1306 – 1352
Who was Ashikaga Tadayoshi?
Ashikaga Tadayoshi was a general of the Northern and Southern Courts period of Japanese history and a close associate of his elder brother Takauji, the first Muromachi shogun. Son of Ashikaga Sadauji and of a daughter of Uesugi Yorishige, the same mother as Takauji, he was a pivotal figure of the chaotic transition period between the Kamakura and Muromachi shogunates. Tadayoshi is today considered a military and administrative genius and the true architect of many of his elder brother's successes. In contemporary chronicles he is rarely called with his name, but is instead called either gosho or Daikyū-ji-dono from the name of his family temple. His posthumous name was Kozan Keigen.
