Yamashiro Province
Both the vassalage ties with the samurai and control over "shugo" lords were established after the regime had solidified in the 1350s. These two hierarchies were the most important connections in determining the shōgun's power. The bureaucratic organs are the most difficult to assess, because the early bureaucracy was altered after the Kannō disturbance (see the section below), and much of these eventually concerned just Kyoto and Yamashiro Province.
