Ashikaga Yoshimasa (足利 義政; 1436 – 1490) was the eighth shōgun of the Ashikaga shogunate, ruling Japan from 1449 until his abdication in 1473.[1]

In the early 1480s, just after the end of the Ōnin War,[2] Yoshimasa built Ginkaku-ji, a Zen Buddhist temple to the east of Kyoto, which he moved into. In the so-called Silver Pavilion, the former shōgun led a life of leisure and art with his friends, ignoring the fighting in Kyoto at the time. As a patron of the arts, many art forms flourished under his influence, such as ink painting, pottery, and linked verse.[3]
