	Land of the Shogun
		Still, all Japan's effective rulers, from the Fujiwara and Hojo regents to the Minamoto, Ashikaga and Tokugawa shoguns, respected the emperor and were anxious to secure their legitimacy as rulers of Japan by seeking approval from the imperial throne.
		Hojo Masako's brother, Yoshitoki, was a dominant figure at Kamakura at the time, but neither he nor any of successors ever made a move to usurp the position of shogun.
		Hojo Tokimasa took the post of Chief of the Administrative Office and his title, shikken, came to mean "shogunal regent." In 1225, Yoshitoki's son Yasutoki created a Council of State to broaden participation in the government and made and uncle a "co-signer" of government decrees to share responsibility with him.

		Later the office of Kwambaku, or Regent, was established, and remained hereditary in the house down to modern times--ages after all real power had been taken from the descendants of Nakatomi no Kamatari.
		Though unscrupulous in their methods, these regents were capable rulers; and proved themselves able to save the country in a great emergency,--the famous invasion attempted by Kublai Khan in 1281.
		His avenger and successor, Hidéyoshi, was a totally different type of soldier: a son of peasants, an untrained genius who had won his way to high command--by shrewdness and courage, natural skill of arms, and immense inborn capacity for all the chess-play of war.

		The Hojos remained as regents over all the successive Minamoto shoguns for the next century and a half.

		Those who sided with him against the Hojo did not do so out of a sense of loyalty to the idea of imperial rule, but rather out of a sense of grievance against the Hojo who not only were unable to guarantee good government, but had not sufficiently rewarded their vassals for their services.
		In spite of having the vast estates of the Hojo at his disposal, the system whereby it was reallocated to his supporters was inefficient and corrupt, and discontent remained as rife under Go-Daigo as it had under the Hojo.
