From the USC Shinso Ito Center for Japanese Religions and Culture's website:

After the Onin War (1467-1477) ravaged the capital city of Kyoto and destabilized the Ashikaga Shogunate, provincial cities became increasingly significant as centers of trade and artisanal production. Archaeological evidence from castle towns such as Azuchi, Bungo Funai, and Ichijōdani illuminate aspects of religious practice that rarely appear in documentary evidence, pointing to the rhythms and rituals that animated residents’ daily lives.
