		The Hojo family -- relative of Yoritomo's wife, Masako -- acting as regents, declared the 2-year-old Kujo Yoritsune, a distant relative of Yoritomo, as shogun, and in practice retained the reins of power in their own hands.
		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.
		This established the Kamakura shogunate's position as stronger than that of the court, enabling it to interfere in matters of succession to the throne, and to choose or change emperors in accordance with its own views.

		He emphasized the fact that the workshop embraced a broad, interdisciplinary perspective on the subject of women and Buddhism in pre-modern Japan, an approach which was again employed by the panel at hand.
		The first paper-presenter was Martin Collcutt (Princeton University) on the topic of "Hojo Masako: The Nun-Shogun Reevaluated." With reference to the Gukansho and the Azuma Kagami, Collcutt attempted to debunk the rumors which came to surround Hojo Masako's career during later periods of history and have persisted into modern times.
		Whereas rumors and historical slander have prevented Hojo Masako from becoming an exemplum for women, Collcutt concludes that, as a medieval Japanese woman, she was both unique and representative.
