Changes

The Asakura claimed descent from the [[Kusakabe clan]], descendants of the [[Emperor Temmu]]. They settled in [[Tajima province]] during the [[Heian Period]] and took the name Asakura. Later, the family moved to [[Echizen province]] and served the [[Shiba clan]] [[Shugo]], which [[Asakura Toshikage]] usurped on the dawn of the Sengoku Period. The Asakura were powerful in the Hokuriku region until their downfall at the hands of [[Oda Nobunaga]] in [[1573]], after which surviving members became vassals of first the [[Oda clan (Owari)|Oda]], then [[Toyotomi clan|Toyotomi]]. The Asakura are well-known in part for their [[Toshikage Jushichikajo]] (c.[[1480]]) - the house code of Asakura Toshikage.
