This paper examines the relationship between Taiheiki story (Taihei means peace) that is a tale of War In medieval times and the Ashikaga Shognate. There are three considerations about it. The first is about the author of Taiheiki named Kojima priest who was introduced in the diary of the lord Toin Kinsada in that time. Imagawa Ryoushun who was a relative of the Ashikaga farnily made cornments about the author of Taiheiki in his book “Nan Taiheiki". And Kojima priest was introduced in Kouhukuji Temple chronicle. The second specified the term that Taiheiki was written by using chronological table. The third clanfied the reasons why the Ashikaga Shognate tried to decide Taiheiki story that was written by Kojima priest as the history of the Ashikaga Shognate and reorganaize it. The results of this study are as follows, (1) The author of Taiheiki story was Kojima priest as Toin Kinsada wrote in his diary. It had been thought that the priests of Rishu sect (one of the Buddihst groups) wrote Taiheiki. Kojima priest might get the information about Taiheiki from this priests group. (2) Taiheiki that was written by Kojima priest covered the term that was from the “Shouchu no hen" that the Emperor Godaigo attempted to overthrow the Kamakura Shogunate to the time when the Ashikaga Shogunate got its power. (3) The Ashikaga Shogunate tried to adopt Taiheiki that was written by Kojima priest as the history of the Ashikaga Shougunate. Because Taiheiki included the process that the Ashikaga Shogunate came into power. It might be reorganized as the history of the Ashikaga Shougunate.
