Wada Yoshimori, Japanese Military Commander
Entitled: "Actor in the role of Wada Yoshimori." Wada Yoshimori (1147 - May 24, 1213) was an early Kamakura period military commander. A gokenin of the Kamakura shogunate, he was the first director (betto) of the Samurai-dokoro. The Kamakura shogunate was a Japanese feudal military government. The heads of the government were the shoguns. In exchange for protection and the right to become shugo (governor) or jito (manor's lord), in times of peace a gokenin had the duty to protect the imperial court and Kamakura, in case of war had to fight with his forces under the shogun's flag. Woodcut by Kuniyoshi Utagawa, circa 1848-54.
