Northern and Southern Courts reunited in Japan

November 1392

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu negotiated the surrender of the Southern Court at Yoshino, ending fifty-seven years of dual emperors. Go-Kameyama returned the imperial regalia to Kyoto, though the promised alternation of succession between the two lines was never honored. The Ashikaga shogunate now had a single emperor to legitimize it and could devote attention to trade with Ming China.
