A civil war famously took place between two samurai families, seeing the central authority in Japan collapse. What was it called?

Yamana Sozen – known as the "Red Monk" – was the head of one of the two samurai families involved in the Onin War. The other head was Sozen's son-in-law, Hosokawa Katsumoto. The argument was over succession in the shogun's family, and each of their mansions was attacked using arrows, swords, and fire, until the pair of samurai were fighting across a barren charred land. They were both killed in 1473.
