Muromachi periodIn Japanese history, period of military government (bakufu, or shogunate) from the 14th to the 16th century. The bakufu was established in 1338 by the samurai (warrior) Ashikaga Takauji. Although the bakufu lasted in name until 1573, when the last of the Ashikaga shoguns was deposed, the Ashikaga in fact lost control of Japan during the Onin War (1467–77). The Muromachi period was, despite considerable turbulence and unrest, a time of great cultural growth, during which Zen Buddhism, no theatre and other literary forms, and sumi-e (Chinese-style ink painting) flourished. See also Ashikaga family; daimyo; Kano school. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Set in the turbulent Muromachi period of Japanese history, it's a film about the relationship between man and nature, greed and progress. The story, set during the Muromachi period (1392-1573), involves the young warrior Ashitaka (voiced by Billy Crudup), who must leave his village when he's infected by a mad, rampaging boar-god. We appreciate that Micron approached this issue in a positive spirit that allowed the parties to work together to bring all outstanding litigation and claims to a full and final resolution," said Masashi Muromachi, corporate executive vice president of Toshiba Corporation and president & CEO of Toshiba's Semiconductor Company. |
