Everything about H J Tokiyori totally explained
Hōjō Tokiyori (北条時頼;
1227-
1263, r.
1246-
1256) was the fifth
shikken (regent) of the
Kamakura shogunate in
Japan. He was born to
Hōjō Tokiuji and a daughter of
Adachi Kagemori.
Tokiyori became
shikken following his brother
Tsunetoki's death. Immediately after the succession, he crushed a
coup plot by former shogun
Kujō Yoritsune and Tokiyori's relative
Nagoe Mitsutoki. In the next year, he let Adachi Kagemori destroy the powerful
Miura clan in the
Battle of Hochi. He recalled his experienced grandfather's brother
Hōjō Shigetoki from Kyoto and appointed him as
rensho. In
1252 he replaced Shogun
Kujō Yoritsugu with
Prince Munetaka. He successfully solidified the power base.
He has been praised for his good administration. He worked on reforms mainly by putting various regulations. He reduced service of the
vassals to guard Kyoto. He worked toward resolving increasing land disputes of his vassals. In
1249 he set up the legal system of
Hikitsuke or High Court.
In 1252 he started to make policies at private meetings held at his residence instead of discussing at
Hyōjō (評定), the council of the shogunate. In 1256 when he became a Buddhist priest, he transferred the position of
shikken to
Hōjō Nagatoki, a son of Shigetoki while Tokiyori's infant son
Tokimune succeeded to become
tokusō, the head of the
Hōjō clan. Tokiyori continued to rule in fact without any official position. This is considered the beginning of the
tokusō dictatorship.
There are a number of legends that Tokiyori traveled incognito throughout Japan to inspect actual conditions and improve their lives. He died in 1263.
