Season 8, which is the current season, features the Early Muromachi Period. The logo is the crest of the Ashikaga Clan (who became the ruling Shoguns) with a golden Hoo bird overlaid on top. This Chinese phoenix was a symbol of imperial maginficence and is featured as a statuette on top of Kinkakuji, the Golden Pavilion. It represents the melding of samurai practicality with Heian-kyo aesthetics.
