1. 0:01hello everyone.
2. 0:03This time I will talk about Ashikaga Yoshikazu.
3. 0:06Ashikaga Yoshikazu was the son of Ashikaga Yoshimochi.
4. 0:09Yoshikazu was seen early on as a potential successor to Yoshimochi.
5. 0:14He came of age at the age of 11.
6. 0:17So let's take a look at Ashikaga Yoshikazu right away.
7. 0:21Yoshikazu became Shogun while Yoshimochi was still alive.
8. 0:25The fourth Shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimochi, Retirement and handed over the Shogun to his son.
9. 0:31Ashikaga Yoshikazu then became the fifth Shogun.
10. 0:34Yoshikazu was 17 years old at the time.
11. 0:37Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshimochi.
12. 0:40However, Yoshikazu was sickly.
13. 0:42Even after becoming a Shogun, he suffered from illness several times.
14. 0:45He died at the young age of 19, two years after becoming a Shogun.
15. 0:53It's too short to end it here.
16. 0:55So I'd like to talk about what happened after Yoshikazu's death.
17. 0:58After Ashikaga Yoshikazu's death, Yoshimochi had no sons.
18. 1:02Thus, the Muromachi Shogunate was left without a Shogun.
19. 1:05However, Yoshimochi did not return to the Shogun or appoint a new Shogun.
20. 1:11The former Shogun, Ashikaga Yoshikazu, ruled the country as the Muromachi Palace.
21. 1:17Originally, Yoshimochi was the one who held real power behind the 5th Shogun.
22. 1:21So there was no problem even when the fifth Shogun was gone.
23. 1:25However, two years later, Ashikaga Yoshimochi's swelling worsened and he fell critically ill.
24. 1:31Yoshimochi said this just before his death.
25. 1:33"Even if I had a son, I would not name a successor."
26. 1:37"Let's all discuss and decide on a successor."
27. 1:39That was his will.
28. 1:40By this time, Shugo and his friends had become stronger.
29. 1:43So perhaps he thought there was no point in choosing a successor.
30. 1:47It was therefore proposed that the next Shogun be decided by drawing Lot-drawing among Yoshimochi's four younger brothers.
31. 1:54Yoshimochi agreed.
32. 1:57Therefore, the next Shogun was to be decided by Lot-drawing.
33. 2:00However, Yoshimochi said that the results of the Lot-drawing should not be revealed until after his death.
34. 2:05Therefore, the Lot-drawing results were opened after Yoshimochi passed away.
35. 2:09The person chosen by Lot-drawing was Gien, the head priest of Tendai Grand Abbot, who later Ashikaga Yoshinori.
36. 2:15So, in the next video I will talk about Ashikaga Yoshinori.
37. 2:19See you in the next video.
