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:
“I have no time to read newspapers. If you chance to live and move and have your being in that thin stratum in which the events which make the news transpire—thinner than the paper on which it is printed—then these things will fill the world for you; but if you soar above or dive below that plane, you cannot remember nor be reminded of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
