This pioneering collection of fifteen essays proposes to change the way we think about fourteenth-century Japan and what preceded and followed it. Most notable is the search for Japanâs medieval beginnings, which are found not in the developments flowing from the establishment of the first shogunate in the 1180âs, but rather in the shogunateâs collapse 150 years later.In this admittedly controversial interpretation, the Kamakura age becomes the final episode in Japanâs late classical period, with the courtier and warrior regimes of that era together seeking to maintain the traditional order. But under the leadership of Japanâs first truly Âmedieval menâ (the emperor Go-Daigo and Ashikaga Takauji), the old order was dramatically transformed. In the editorâs words, Âthe rules changed, new behavior was everywhere, the past was only one of several competing influences. After the better part of a millennium, the spell cast by courtiers was finally broken.âAmong the topics treated are the strange new partnerships within the social hierarchy, the impact of sustained warfare on societal values, the new subservience of women in the post-Kamakura environment, the unprecedented emergence of warriors as the moralists and spokesmen of a new age, and the appearance of a new, more sharply partisan religious sectarianism.In addition, we are shown the fragility of a history now dependent on battlefield success, the assumption of control of imperial poetic anthologies by warriors, the condition of the old and new Buddhist establishments, the paradox of warrior flamboyance and warrior stolidity, and the imposition of enduring village names.

The Kamakura period, 1180-1333, is known as the era of Japan's first warrior government. This book shows that the period was notable for the coexistence of two centres of authority, the Bakufu military government at Kamakura and the civilian court in Kyoto, with the newer warrior government gradually gaining ascendancy.
