Yoshiaki Installed As Shogun

 Here is a passage from The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga describing Ashikaga Yoshiaki being installed as shogun in 1568.

The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 124)

"On the 22nd of the Tenth Month, Yoshiaki went to the imperial palace and, at a ceremony held in formal attire, was installed as Seii Shogun, Barbarian-Conquering General. Having established the Shogun securely in the capital city, Nobunaga enjoyed glory unparalleled in the Precincts of the Sun. He deserved to be honored until the end of times, to be held up as an example to his descendants. "

Tenka no tame!
