Noun. 1. shogunate-a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.). dictatorship, monocracy, one-man rule, Stalinism, totalitarianism, tyranny, authoritarianism, Caesarism, despotism, absolutism.
The Ashikaga Shogunate is the weakest of the three Japanese military governments. Unlike its predecessor, the Kamakura Shogunate, or its successor, the Tokugawa Shogunate, when Ashikaga Takauji established his government he had little personal territories with which to support his rule. The Ashikaga Shogunate was thus heavily reliant on the prestige and personal authority of its shoguns.
