Most samurai are remembered for their swordsmanship, but Minamoto no Sanetomo, the third shogun of the Kamakura shogunate, was a poet. Appointed at age 12, he composed hundreds of waka poems that rank among the finest of the Kamakura period. Yet his rule was a puppet regime—real power lay with his maternal family, the Hōjō clan, who held the regency of shikken. Sanetomo's story ends in assassination: in 1219 at Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū, his nephew Kugyō emerged from the shadows and struck him down, ending the Seiwa Genji line of shoguns. This episode explores how poetry coexisted with the warrior ethos, the unique political structure of the Kamakura shogunate, and the bloody irony of a poet-shogun killed by his own family. We also touch on Sanetomo's teacher, the poet Fujiwara no Teika, and the collection Shin Kokin Wakashū that includes Sanetomo's verses. #MinamotoNoSanetomo #KamakuraShogunate #SamuraiPoet #Waka #Shogun #HōjōClan #Shikken #Assassination #SeiwaGenji #TsurugaokaHachiman #Kugyō #FujiwaraNoTeika #ShinKokinWakashū #MedievalJapan #FeudalJapan #History #FexingoHistory #Samurai Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
