this is so cool Hōjō Masako (北条 政子, 1156- 1225) is known in Japanese history as the “nun shogun” or “ama shogun” (尼将軍) because of her role in the founding of the Kamakura shogunate by her husband, Minamoto no Yoritomo, and because of the powerful position she assumed in the government after his death. Despite this, Masako became a largely influential political figure by becoming shogun, the supreme military leader in Japan's first samurai government, after her husband's death in 1199
Great video as always. As much as I love Asian history I am more knowledgeable on Chinese and Korean history than Japanese history so this always an opportunity to learn.

She’s a protagonist alongside her brother Hojo Yoshitoki in NHK’s 2022 show “13 Lords of Shogun”.
Yes it's a great Japanese drama!🤩
I love Japanese history

Correction, she was not the shogun. She was the region of the shogun because she was from the HoJo clan and they were known as the shikken
Thanks for adding more details. Right, she was only known in history as "Nun Shogun" because she assumed great power. :)
