Ashikaga Yoshihide


 Ashikaga Yoshihide's (1538-68) career as shogun was extremely short.  He died of an incurable illness.  Also according to Owada Tetsuo's video above, he did not stay in Kyoto, but resided at Fumonji Castle.  Fumonji Castle was located at Settsu Province, modern day Osaka-fu, Tonda-cho.  Yoshihide was literally a figurehead for the Miyoshi and Matsunaga Hisahide.  After he passed away, it created an opening for Nobunaga to march to Kyoto with the soon to be new shogun Yoshiaki.


Nobunaga no tame!
