Shogun Ashikaga Yoshihisa (jan 1, 1474 – jan 1, 1489)

Description:

1474 - 1489
Ashikaga Yoshihisa rules as shogun in Japan. His father was the eighth shogun, Yoshimasa ASHIKAGA. Tomiko HINO, Yoshimasa ASHIKAGA's lawful wife, was his mother. He changed his name to Yoshihiro the year before his death, but he is known by the name Yoshihisa. During the Onin War, he was put up as a rival candidate in the fight with his uncle Yoshimi ASHIKAGA over the title of Shogun. Once the Onin War ended, he started to rule by himself and actively executed several reforms of shogunal politics, such as the Rokkaku subjugation to restore the stagnating power of the shogunate government, but in the middle of the Rokkaku subjugation he became ill and passed away, thus preceding his parents to the grave.
