This paper model was based on a sanctuary that actually exists and is an important Japanese architectural monument of Muromachi Period.
The Muromachi Period, also known as the Muromachi era, the Ashikaga era, or the Ashikaga period, is a division of Japanese history running from approximately 1337 to 1573.
The period marks the governance of the Muromachi or Ashikaga shogunate (Muromachi bakufu or Ashikaga bakufu), which was officially established in 1338 by the first Muromachi shogun, Ashikaga Takauji, two years after the brief Kemmu restoration (1333–1336) of imperial rule was brought to a close.
The period ended in 1573 when the 15th and last shogun of this line, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, was driven out of the capital in Kyoto by Oda Nobunaga.
Este modelo de papel foi baseado em um santuário que realmente existe e é um importante monumento arquitetônico japonês da Período Muromachi.
O Período Muromachi inicia-se aproximadamente em 1336 e vai até 1573, com a unificação das duas cortes Imperiais, a de Quioto e a de Yoshino, que durante mais de meio século estiveram em divergência.
Coube o mérito dessa reunificação ao "Generalíssimo" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, cujo governo, instalado em Muromachi, perto de Quioto, deu o nome a este período.
