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 word events:
“That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
