〔"Ashikaga Yoshiaki" in ''The New Encyclopaedia Britannica''. Chicago: Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc., 15th edn., 1992, Vol. 1, p. 625.〕 was the 15th shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate in Japan who reigned from 1568 to 1573.〔Ackroyd, Joyce. (1982) ''Lessons from History: The Tokushi Yoron,'' p. 332.〕 His father, Ashikaga Yoshiharu was the twelfth shogun, and his brother, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was the thirteenth shogun.〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). 〕 The absence of an effective central authority in the capital of Japan had lasted until the warlord Oda Nobunaga's armies entered Kyoto in 1568, re-establishing the Muromachi Shogunate under the puppet shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki to begin the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Ashikaga Yoshihide, the fourteenth shogun, was deposed without ever entering the capital. Most historians consider 1573 to have been the year in which the Ashikaga shogunate ended. The power of the Ashikaga was effectively destroyed on August 27, 1573 when Nobunaga drove Yoshiaki out of Kyoto. Yoshiaki became a Buddhist monk, shaving his head and taking the name Sho-san, which he later changed to Rei-o In.〔Titsingh, 〕 Some note that Yoshiaki did not formally relinquish his empty title; and for this reason, the empty shell of the shogunate could be said to have continued for several more years. Despite a renewed central authority in Kyoto and Nobunaga's attempt to unify the country, the struggle for power among warring states continued until unification and final peace was achieved long after his assassination in 1582. ==Events of Yoshiaki's ''bakufu''== Significant events shape the period during which Yoshiaki was shogun: * 1568 – Oda Nobunaga sets Yoshiaki up as shogun.〔 * 1569 – Yoshiaki's Nijō residence is built.〔Lee Butler, "Castles in Medieval Japan: Before Azuchi," presentation at Association for Asian Studies annual conference, San Diego, March 23, 2013.〕 * 1570 – Ikkō monks defeat Oda Nobunaga.〔 * 1571 – Oda Nobunaga destroys Enryaku-ji.〔 * 1573 – Takeda Shingen dies; Yoshiaki is deposed.〔 * 1588 – Yoshiaki officially resigns from his post as Shogun.〔National Diet Library: (国史大系 ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ashikaga Yoshiaki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
