Shikken
Shikken (執権) is the title given to the regents of the Shoguns de Kamakura. After the death of Minamoto No Yoritomo, the first shogun of Kamakura, Tokimasa Hōjō intrigue with his/her daughter to remove the capacity with its grandson Minamoto No Yoriie, new the shogun, and to direct the government.
Thereafter, the shikken, all members of the Clan Hōjō, controlled indeed instead of the shogun (and on its behalf), and were also chiefs of the Mandokoro (kind of “ministry for finances” of the bakufu) and Yoshitoshi, the second shogun, made of them also the chiefs of the Samurai-dokoro (kind of “ministry for the military businesses”), after having eliminated the Clan Wada, which makes the most important station of shikken in the government of Japan, having to be able much more that the Shogun or of the emperor.
Starting from 1224, the shikken were sometimes assisted by a Rensho (co-signatory). If the beginning of the list merges with that of the Tokuso (chiefs of the Hōjō clan), Tokiyori Hōjō separates the two stations by installing Nagatoki Hōjō as shikken and a its Tokimune son with his succession as a tokuso. The effective pouvoire passes then from the shikken to the tokuso.
