Japanese era from March 1467 to April 1469 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ōnin (応仁) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Bunshō and before Bunmei. This period started in March 1467 and ended in April 1469.[1] During this time, the emperor was Go-Tsuchimikado-tennō (後土御門天皇).[2]
In the Ōnin era, the emperor gave Yoshimasa's villa with a special name -- Higashiyama-dono.,[3] Construction work was interrupted by the Ōnin War.[4]
The Ōnin War started in 1467. This conflict is called Ōnin no ran because of the nengō in which it began.[1] The fighting began as a dispute over who should follow Ashikaga Yoshimasa as shogun after his retirement – whether it would be his brother (Yoshimi) or his son (Yoshihisa).[3]
Rival groups of daimyo fought for military supremacy. In the end, there was no winner. The war stopped because the factions simply exhausted themselves.[3]
