Ashikaga Mochiuji

Ashikaga Mochiuji was the Kamakura-fu's fourth Kantō kubō during the Muromachi period in Japan. During his long and troubled rule the relationship between the west and the east of the country reached an all-time low. Kamakura was finally attacked by shōgun Ashikaga Yoshinori and retaken by force. Mochiuji and his eldest son Yoshihisa killed themselves to escape capture.
