− | '''Imagawa Ryoshun''' was a renowned Japanese poet and military commander who served as tandai ("constable") of Kyushu under the Ashikaga Bakufu from [[1371]] to [[1395]]. His father, Imagawa Norikuni, had been a supporter of the first Ashikaga Shogun, Ashikaga Takauji, and for his services had been granted the position of constable of Suruga province (modern-day Shizuoka prefecture). This promotion increased the prestige of the Imagawa family (a warrior family dating from the [[Muromachi period]], which was related by blood to the Ashikaga shoguns) considerably, and they remained an important family through to the [[Edo period]]. | + | '''Imagawa Ryoshun''' was a renowned Japanese poet and military commander who served as tandai ("constable") of Kyushu under the Ashikaga Bakufu from [[1371]] to [[1395]].
