The '''Hojo regents''' wrestled power from emperor of [[Japan]] and ended imperial rule there from 1185 to 1333, when emperor Go-Daigo restored imperial power and moved the capital to Muromachi (which is near [[Kyoto]]).

The Hojo clan was the first shogun of [[Japan]], rising to power under the leadership of Minamoto Yoritomo during the Gempei War in 1185. Six years later, in 1191, the monk Eisai introduced a form of [[Zen Buddhism]] in [[Japan]] and it became popular among the [[samurai]]. Yoritomo died in 1199.

In 1232, the Hojo regents imposed the Joei Shikimoku code of law to increase their control. In 1274, the Mongols of Kublai Khan attempted to invade [[Japan]] but was forced back by the [[kamikaze]].
