Hōjō clan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hōjō clan (北条氏) in the history of Japan was a family of regents of the Kamakura Shogunate. The family had actual governmental power, rather than Kamakura shoguns, who were merely legal symbols.
Hōjō Tokimasa helped Minamoto no Yoritomo, a son-in-law. After the death of Yoritomo, he became a regent, gaining a real power in the Shogunate.
