East Asia (14th – mid-15th c.)

China, Korea and Japan from 1301 to the middle of the 15th century. In China the last decades of Mongol Yuan rule ended in the Red Turban rebellion, out of which Zhu Yuanzhang rose to found the Ming dynasty in 1368 and to rebuild the state on registers of households and land; in Korea the general Yi Seong-gye replaced Goryeo with the Joseon dynasty in 1392. In Japan the fall of the Kamakura shogunate in 1333 led to Go-Daigo’s brief Kenmu Restoration, the Ashikaga shogunate and almost sixty years of rivalry between the Northern and Southern Courts, while under Ashikaga patronage Kan'ami and Zeami created Noh.
