To understand the history of Japan, you cannot avoid the shogunate. The Japanese shogunate was a central government agency in ancient Japan that once had power over the emperor.The most powerful person is the General Zhengyi, also known as Shōgun Season 1‎.The shogunate originally referred to the general's military tent, but under Japan's special conditions, it evolved into a political system unique to national conditions.The word shogunate originated from ancient Chinese and refers to the general's office during the war.“tent” refers to the tents and tents of the army; “fu” refers to the place where the royal family collects and stores treasures and documents.In Japan, the shogunate period is equivalent to the period from the Southern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty in China.Since the Kamakura shogunate, Japan has experienced three shogunate historical periods: the Kamakura shogunate, the Muromachi shogunate, and the Tokugawa shogunate.

Japan's shogunate period, especially the Warring States period of the Muromachi shogunate, was the most magnificent and exciting period. It was a good subject for many novels, films and TV shows, and it was also a good content that our readers and audiences were passionate about.When traveling in Japan, my biggest interest is to look for the relics left by Shōgun Season 1‎ and the daimyo, and to think of interesting stories from the past wars.Kyoto's Higashiyama and Kitayama illustrate the glory of the Ashikaga family of the Muromachi shogunate; Minamoto Yoritomo of the Kamakura shogunate and Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Edo shogunate are well-known to every household and have become classic Japanese historical stories and heroes.
