In [[1383]], in an event known as the "Bloodletting Incident," Emperor Go-En'yû, suspicious that [[Azechi no Tsubone]], one of his consorts, had been having an affair with [[Ashikaga Yoshimitsu]], struck her on the head with a blade. Drawing a sword, or striking anyone with it, within the [[Kyoto Imperial Palace|Imperial Palace]] was most unusual, and this incident caused quite an uproar. Assaulted with accusations, the emperor suggested he might retire to the mountains in [[Tanba province]], and there commit suicide. He did not end up following through on this, however.
