Hōjō Masako (1157-1225) was a significant political figure in Japan, known as the first female shogun. Born in Izu Province, she married Minamoto Yoritomo, Japan's first shogun, and played a crucial role in his rise to power. After Yoritomo's death in 1199, Masako wielded considerable influence, acting as regent and managing the shogunate's affairs while her sons held the title of shogun. Contemporary sources recognized her power, referring to her as the "nun shogun" due to her later life as a Buddhist nun. Her legacy raises questions about women's roles in samurai society and historical narratives surrounding female power.
