Ashikaga Yoshimasa (1436 – 1490) was the eighth shōgun of the Ashikaga shogunate, ruling Japan from 1449 to 1473.[1]

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