Prince Muneyoshi

Prince Muneyoshi (Munenaga, 1311–1385) was a son of Emperor Go-Daigo. He entered Myōhō-in in 1325 and became Tendai zasu in 1330, but was exiled to Sanuki after the Genkō War and later fought for the Southern Court.

In 1338 he sailed north with Kitabatake Chikafusa and was wrecked in Tōtōmi, and from 1344 held Ōgawara in Shinano for thirty years, earning the name Shinano no Miya. Appointed seii taishōgun in 1352, he led Southern armies and compiled Shin'yō Wakashū, completed in 1381.
