*''Japanese'': 同朋衆 ''(douhou shuu)''
The ''dôhôshû'' were monks or lay monks, mostly of the [[Jishu|Jishû]] sect, who served the [[Ashikaga shogunate]], chiefly as cultural advisors and organizers of artistic events. Most took monastic names ending in -ami or -a.
Given their association with the Jishû sect, and with the liminal spaces of performance arts, the ''dôhôshû'' were considered ''[[kugai]] mono'', a certain type of marginal person. In addition to performing various tasks within the shogun's household, they also organized, led, or performed various artistic activities at banquets and parties, including [[tea ceremony]] and poetry competitions, and arranging the decorations for the meeting room.
