==Fighting in the Capital==

Although there were incidences back and forth between the two families, actual fighting opened up at the end of May, with Hosokawa troops attacking a mansion in the city of one of Yamana's generals, [[Isshiki]].  Fighting went on for days, despite Yoshimasa's attempts to order a truce.  The fighting was mostly close quarters fighting, with trenches and barricades built up in the city.

By early July, Yoshimasa had branded [[Yamana Sozen]] and his allies as rebels, despite the fact that the Hosokawa had started the fighting in the capital.  He charged his brother, [[Ashikaga Yoshimi|Yoshimi]], with subduing the rebels, appointing [[Hosokawa Katsumoto]] as his commanding general.  This removed some of the Yamana's support.  In addition, the Hosokawa were able to stir up disturbances in their adversaries' territories--including those of the [[Ouchi clan|Ouchi]] and [[Shiba clan|Shiba]--forcing them to send troops back to defend their own territories.  Sozen sent to [[Harima province|Harima]] for reinforcements, which made their way to [[Tanba province|Tanba]], and from their fought their way to the city.

In July, Hosokawa forces (known as the Eastern Army) controlled the main buildings of the Bakufu, the [[Jiso-In]], [[Shokokuji]], and the Hosokawa's own mansion.  Yamana (the Western Army), held territory to the south and west, running a line east from Itsutsuji-Omiya, with their main encampment at moder day [[Nishijin]]
