Tokusō (得宗) was the title held by the head of the mainline Hōjō clan, who monopolized the position of ''shikken'' (regents) of the Kamakura shogunate in Japan. The Tokuso from 1256-1333 A.D. was the military dictator of Japan, all other positions including the emperor, the imperial court, shogun, the shikken (regent of shogun) had been reduced to figureheads.〔「執権 (一)」（『国史大辞典 6』（吉川弘文館、1985年） ISBN 978-4-642-00506-7）〕 The name ''tokusō'' is said to have come from Tokushū (徳崇), the Buddhist name of Hōjō Yoshitoki, but Hōjō Tokimasa is usually regarded as the first ''tokusō''. There were eight ''tokusō'': #Hōjō Tokimasa #Hōjō Yoshitoki #Hōjō Yasutoki #Hōjō Tsunetoki #Hōjō Tokiyori #Hōjō Tokimune #Hōjō Sadatoki #Hōjō Takatoki The political structure of the ''tokusō'' dictatorship was set up by Yasutoki and was consolidated by his grandson Tokiyori. The ''tokusō'' line held overwhelming power over the ''gokenin'' and the cadet lines of the Hōjō clan. Tokiyori often worked out policies at private meetings (寄合 ''yoriai'') at his residence instead of discussing them at the ''Hyōjō'' (評定), the council of the shogunate. This made the ''tokusō's'' private retainers (御内人 ''miuchibito'') stronger. In 1256 Tokiyori separated the positions of ''shikken'' and ''tokusō'' for the first time. Because of an illness, he installed his infant son Tokimune as the ''tokusō'' while Nagatoki, a collateral relative, was appointed ''shikken'' to assist Tokimune. ==See also== * Shikken * Rensho * Rokuhara Tandai 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tokusō」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
