The Minami-gosho (南御所) was completed first, in 1398, and became the home of Yoshimitsu's wife, Hino Yasuko (日野康子 1369-1419).
Next came a palace for Sukenmon-in (崇賢門院), mother Emperor Go-En'yū (後円融天皇).
Yoshimitsu's home, Kita-gosho (北御所), was finished in 1407.

Between 1402-07 Yoshimitsu received envoys from the Ming and Joseon courts 6 times. After 30 years establishing trade links with China (he was rebuffed in 1374 & 1380), in 1402 the 'Yongle Emperor' (永樂帝 1360-1424) recognised Yoshimitsu in official documents as 'King of Japan'.
