Court and Bakufu in Japan by Jeffrey P Mass
The Kamakura period, 1180-1333, is known as the era of Japan's first warrior government. As the essays in this book show, however, the period was notable for the coexistence of two centers of authority, the Bakufu military government at Kamakura and the civilian court in Kyoto, with the newer warrior government gradually gaining ascendancy.
'A benchmark in American research on Japanese medieval history.. The fact that this book focuses on the unique characteristics of the form of the state indicates how firm a grasp American medieval specialists have of Japanese medieval history.' Journal of Japanese Studies
