Product Description
The Kamakura period, 1180-1333, is known as the era of Japan's first warrior government. As the essays in this book show, however, the period was notable for the coexistence of two centers of authority, the Bakufu military government at Kamakura and the civilian court in Kyoto, with the newer warrior government gradually gaining ascendancy.

Ekuserento!
Excellent! The details in history, combined with intelligent insight, makes for an excellent resource. For anyone interested in knowing names, dates, events that shaped Kamakura and the Bakufu that thrived in it, I recommend this book with 6 stars.
