The Muromachi age may well emerge in the eyes of historians as one of the most seminal periods in Japanese history. So concluded the participants in the 1973 Conference on Japan. The proceedings, as edited for this volume, reveal this new interpretation of the Muromachi age (1334?1573), which was among the most neglected and misunderstood chapters in Japanese history.

Although the volume was first published nearly three decades ago, it remains of great interest for anyone wanting to know more about Japan's historical development.
