to be destroyed by the Kannō disturbance, an event which takes its name from the Kannō era (1350–1351) during which it took place, and which had very serious consequences for the entire country. Trouble between the two started when Takauji made Kō no Moronao his deputy shōgun. According to the Taiheiki, Tadayoshi didn't like Moronao and, every other effort to get rid of him having failed, tried to have him assassinated. According to the same source, his plot was discovered and he was therefore removed from the government. In any event, Tadayoshi in 1350 was forced by Moronao to leave the government, and take the tonsure under the monastic name Keishin. In 1351 Tadayoshi rebelled and joined his brother's enemies, the Southern court, whose then emperor, Go-Murakami appointed him general of all his troops. In 1351 he defeated Takauji, occupied Kyoto, and entered Kamakura. During the same year his forces killed Moronao and his brother Moroyasu at Mikage (Settsu Province). The following year Tadayoshi's fortunes turned and he was defeated by Takauji at Sattayama. A reconciliation between the brothers proved to be brief; Tadayoshi was sandwiched by two of Takauji's armies and fled to the hills of Izu in 1352. Shortly after an ostensible second reconciliation, Tadayoshi was captured and confined in the Kamakura Jomyoji monastery, where he died suddenly in March. According to the Taiheiki, by poisoning. Ashikaga Tadayoshi was buried at , a Buddhist temple which no longer exists, but whose ruins are now near Jōmyō-ji in Kamakura. The temple was founded on the grounds of Tadayoshi's former Kamakura residence, according to Jōmyō-ji's own records by Tadayoshi himself. According to the , the diary of priest Gidō Shūshin, in 1372 on the day of Tadayoshi's death Kamakura's Kubō Ashikaga Ujimitsu visited Daikyū-ji. The date of disappearance of the temple is unknown. He also adopted Ashikaga Tadafuyu, one of Takauji's biological sons, as his own.
