Ashikaga Yoshiharu
From Wikipedia Mirror
Template:Nihongo was the 12th shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate who held the reigns of supreme power from 1521 through 1546 during the late Muromachi period of Japan.[1] He was the son of the eleventh shogun Ashikaga Yoshizumi.[1]
- Daiei 1, on the 25th day of the 3rd month (1521): After the tenth shogun Ashikaga Yoshitane and Hosokawa Takakuni struggled for power over the shogunate and Yoshitane withdrew to Awaji Island, the way was clear for Minamoto-no Yoshiharu to be installed as shogun.[1]
- Daiei 1, in the 6th month (1521): Yoshiteru enters Kyoto.[1]
- Daiei 6, in the 12th month (1526): Shogun Yoshiharu invited archers from neighboring provinces to come to the capital for an archery contest.[1]
Not having any political power and repeatedly being forced out of the capital of Kyoto, Yoshiharu eventually retired in 1546 over a political struggle between Miyoshi Nagayoshi and Hosokawa Harumoto making his son Ashikaga Yoshiteru the thirteenth shogun.
Supported by Oda Nobunaga, his son Ashikaga Yoshiaki became the fifteenth shogun.
From a western perspective, Yoshiharu is significant, as he was shogun in 1542, when the first contact of Japan with the European West took place. A Portuguese ship, blown off its course to China, landed in Japan.
