Ashikaga Yoshihisa - Events of Yoshihisa's bakufu

Events of Yoshihisa's bakufu

Significant events shape the period during which Yoshihisa was shogun:

  • 1479 – Yoshihisa's shogunal administration begins.
  • 1489 – Yoshihisa dies in camp during campaign against Sasaki Takayori; Yoshimasa resumes administration.
  • 1490 – Yoshimasa dies.

After the Ōnin war, Rokkaku Takayori, daimyo of southern Omi province, seized land and manors owned by nobles of the imperial court, temples, and shrines. In 1487, Yoshihisa led a campaign (Rokkaku Tobatsu) against Takayori but died of unexpectedly, leaving no heir.

Yoshihisa was followed by his cousin, tenth shogun Ashikaga Yoshitane, the following year.

Famous quotes containing the words events of and/or events:

    The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
