		Moreover, throughout the various vicissitudes undergone by various emperors or by the Imperial family as a whole, the system continued to be supported by a feeling of respect or trust towards the emperor among the people.
		Those who maintained and led large groups of samurai or armed retainers were called toryo (pillars), and persons related by blood to the, Imperial family, or nobles who settled in the provinces, became toryo with the support of the local warriors on the basis of the standing of their family or their noble lineage.

		This is the original Honmonji that was sanctioned by the Emperor Godaigo in a decree dated May 29, 1335 (Kemmu 2) that was delivered by the Imperial Messenger Fujiwara Sukenobu (藤原資房), and received by Onodera Nichidou Shounin at Oishigahara Taisekiji on June 7, 1335.
		His whole idea of challenging the Shingon sect to a formal debate (in the presence of the Emperor), as well as calling upon the Shogunate to arrange such debate was not merely to bring His ultimate teaching across to the Emperor, but also to set up the conditions for the realization of Oubutsu Myougo.
		Emperor Godaigo, who legitimately inherited the Imperial Regalias, was averse to being controlled by the Shogunate.

		The dual-polity government that prevailed in Japan just before GoToba’s reign in the late 12th century rested uneasily on a complex political relationship between the shogunate (bakufu) under the Hojo family in the eastern capital of Kamakura and the emperor in the capital at Heian (now Kyoto).
		At the age of 18 GoToba ceded the throne to his son, and during his ascendancy as the ‘abdicated’ or ‘cloistered’ emperor (in) he sought to challenge Kamakura authority.
		Within a month, however, GoToba’s armies were easily defeated by bakufu forces, and he and his followers were immediately exiled from the capital; GoToba spent the rest of his life on the Oki Islands in the Sea of Japan.

		He was very sensitive to noises, and it is said that the frogs of the pool of Shike-kuro have been dumb ever since the year 1200; for their croaking at night disturbed his rest, and he commanded them to be silent.
		It was in the eleventh year of his reign that the title of Shōgun was created and conferred upon the great General Yoritomo; which title, down to the year 1868, was borne by the real rulers of the country, the Emperor himself being not much more than a figure-head.

		Theoretically speaking, the post was under the emperor, but a shogun could move armies without emperor’s permission, so he was de facto the strongest person in Japan.
		Upon restoration the Meiji emperor moves the imperial capital from Kyoto to Tokyo, and undertakes an extensive series of reforms: boundaries between the social classes are gradually broken down; religious freedom is granted in 1873; the daimyo are forced to return lands to the emperor, and the country is restructured into prefectures.
		The emperor is stripped of all political and military power, made into a mere symbol.

	Minase Sangin
		Emperor Gotoba (reigned 1184-98) particularly loved renga making and many waka poets in his day tried to master renga, too.
		Although not explicitly mentioned, the location of the session in Minase is also gathered, (for those who are familiar with renga) since the second and the third lines allude to a well-known waka poem of the Emperor Gotoba, which he composed in his beloved Minase Palace as following.
		In fact this renga session at Minase was consecrated in the Minase memorial of Emperor Gotoba on the 250 the anniversary of his death and this opening verse is just suitable for the purpose of consoling the soul of the emperor who loved Renga making so much.
