Ashikaga Yoshihisa
Ashikaga Yoshihisa ( Japanese 足 利 義 尚 ; * December 11, 1465 ; † April 26, 1489 ) was the ninth shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate and ruled from 1473 to 1489 in the beginning Sengoku period in Japan . Yoshihisa was the son of the eighth shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimasa .
Since the almost 30-year-old Yoshimasa had still not fathered an heir in 1464, he adopted his younger brother Ashikaga Yoshimi for the purpose of the successor. The next year, however, Yoshimasa had another son, Yoshihisa, and the brothers subsequently quarreled over who was to be his successor. In 1467 this conflict expanded into the 11-year Ōnin War , which marked the beginning of the Sengoku period . In the midst of the clashes, Yoshimasa resigned as a shogun in 1473, leaving the position of Seii Taishogun to his son, who became the ninth shogun, Ashikaga Yoshihisa.
After the Ōnin War, Rokkaku Takayori , the daimyo of the southern Ōmi province, occupied the land and property of court aristocrats, temples and shrines. In 1487 Yoshihisa led a campaign ( Rokkaku Tobatsu ) against Rokkaku Takayori. He died two years later without leaving an heir.
Yoshihisa was succeeded by his cousin, the tenth shogun, Ashikaga Yoshitane in 1490 .
