The TAIRA and the
minamoto
Eventually two families began to fight for absolute control of Japan: the

(Heike) and the Minamoto (
Genji)
A series of small wars between these two families (clans) began breaking out and forcing emperors to abdicate Slide5

The rise of the shogun
As the victor of Japan’s first major civil war, Minamoto
Yoritomo
began ruling Japan from the city of Kamakura

bafuku
(headquarters) and was split in three sections:

shoen
These lands were owned by
daimyos
(lords) appointed by the ShogunPeasants working the land owed taxes and samurai owed their allegiance to their daimyoSlide9

focused strengthening the
bafuku
and even successfully stopped an attempt by the emperor to take power backSlide10

Hojo family began to lose power
Daimyos began gaining more and more power and challenging the Shogun
Emperor Go-
Daigo also took advantage of this scenario and challenged the Hojo family in civil warSlide11

Hojo
family was betrayed by one of their most important supporters, Lord Ashikaga

Daigo
also restored his power and was reinstated as the head of Japan
