Shikken
Shikken
(執権) was the regent of the
shogun
in the
Kamakura shogunate
in
Japan
. The post was monopolized by the
Hojo clan
.
Hojo Tokimasa
, who was the father-in-law of first shogun
Minamoto no Yoritomo
, assumed shikken for the first time in 1203. Shikken was the chief of
Mandokoro
at that time. Replacing second shogun
Minamoto no Yoriie
with
Sanetomo
, he became the de facto ruler of the shogunate. Tokimasa's son
Yoshitoki
strengthened the post by integrating it with the chief of
Samurai-dokoro
after annihilating the powerful
Wada clan
, who had dominated the position. Shikken became the highest post beyond puppet shoguns in practice. In 1224 Yoshitoki's son
Hojo Yasutoki
set up
rensho
(cosigner) as assistant regent. At first shikken was occupied by
tokuso
, the head of the Hojo clan, but
Hojo Tokiyori
separated the two posts. He installed
Hojo Nagatoki
as shikken while he made his son
Tokimune
succeed tokuso. Effective power was moved from shikken to tokuso.
