Prophecies profoundly influenced historical narratives in fifteenth-century Japan. The narrative of Ōninki (The chronicle of Ōnin) was constructed so that events would better resonate with a prophecy known as Yamataishi , and the chronicle shaped later historical understandings of the epochal Ōnin War. Analysis of this prophecy, coupled with an exploration of the evolution of the chronicle, allows for a new understanding of the war and the role of prophecies in shaping historical narratives of medieval Japan
