Yoshiaki was the 15th Shogun of Japan and a member of the Ashikaga clan who became the shogun in 1568, Yoshiaki gained power after he enlisted Oda Nobunaga to help him in his goal to become the shogun, the Oda clan armies entered Kyoto thus re-establishing the Muromachi shogunate. The seize of power was quick because there was no effective central authority in Kyoto at the time. Yoshiaki was used as a Puppet leader by Nobunaga who had direct control.In 1573 the revolt took place, Yoshiaki was extremely dissatisfied with his degree of power in the government and sought to challenge Nobunaga and assert control. Yoshiaki requested the aid of Takeda Shingen and the Takeda clan as well as the Matsunaga clan to help him in the revolt. Yoshiaki attempted to escape Kyoto and headed for Sakai where he wanted to take refuge. However Nobunaga pursued Yoshiaki and captured Kyoto which also effectively ended the rule of the Ashikaga clan.

In Japan, the Sentō Imperial Palace (仙洞御所, Sentō gosho, litt. "Emeritus Imperial Palace") traditionally does not refer to a single location, but to any residence of retired emperors. Before Akihito abdicated in 2019, the last Emperor to retire did so in 1817, so the designation commonly refers to the historical Kyoto Sento Imperial Palace (京都仙洞御所).

Rozan-ji (Japanese: 廬山寺, or Rozan Tendaikoji) is a Tendai Buddhist temple in Kamigyō-ku, Kyoto and the head temple (honzan) of the Enjo (圓浄) sect. The sangō (literally, mountain name) of Rozan-ji is Mount Lu, or Lushan, pronounced rozan in Japanese. Currently located on the eastern side of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, it was founded by Ryōgen, the abbot of Enryaku-ji, in 938 in the Funaokayama neighborhood, south of Daitoku-ji. It was one of four temples that had an okurodo (御黒戸), a private Buddhist chapel for the Imperial Family, originally located in the Imperial Palace. These temples, the others being Nison-in, Hanjū-in, and Kengō-in, belong directly to the Imperial Household. The temple was protected from destruction by a nyōbō hosho, an official document recording the orders and words of the emperor written by the female court member, Madenokoji Fusako, during Oda Nobunaga assault on Kyoto temples, specifically the Tendai branch, and the siege of Mount Hiei. In 1573 it was moved to its present location on Teramachi Street as part of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's reorganization of Kyoto. The reconstruction was completed under the directive of Emperor Kōkaku. The reconstructed temple was devastated in the Kyoto fire in 1708 (Hōei 5) and again in 1788 (Tenmei 8) during the Great Fire of Kyoto. The present structure was rebuilt in 1794 (Kansei 6) from a portion of the Sentō Imperial Palace. The rock garden of the temple is known as the Genji Garden (源氏庭), after the titular character in the Tale of Genji, and is noted for its Japanese bellflowers.
