Emperor Kōmyō of the illegitimate Northern Court (see below) was installed as emperor by Takauji in opposition to the exiled Southern Court, beginning the turbulent Northern and Southern Court period ("Nanboku-chō"), which saw two Emperors fight each other and which would last for almost 60 more years.
Dopo aver cacciato Go-Daigo dalla capitale, Takauji mise sul trono l'Imperatore Kōmyō, ma Go-Daigo ricostruì la sua corte a Yoshino, dando inizio al periodo Nanboku-chō ("delle corti del Nord e del Sud") che sarebbe durato per altri 60 anni.
