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:
“Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
