	A Teachers' & Textbook Writers'(A HISTORICAL OUTLINE)
		Japan's imperial system, originally based on the myth of the descent from heaven to an earthly mountain of a deity -- supposed to be the ancestor of the imperial line -- boasts an unbroken line of imperial succession since the time of the early emperors.
		As an island nation where contacts and disputes with other races were few, Japan experienced no pressures threatening her system of government from the outside, nor was the emperor needed as a military leader symbolising the unity of the nation to other nations.
		This was the signal for the court, under the cloistered emperor Gotoba, to attempt to regain political power, and in 1221, the court issued an order for the subjugation of the regent Hojo Yoshitoki, Masako's younger brother.
