From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Munetaka (宗尊親王) (December 15, 1242 – September 2, 1274) was the sixth shogun of the Kamakura shogunate of Japan who reigned (1252–1266).[1]
He was the first son of the Emperor Go-Saga and replaced the deposed Kujō Yoritsugu as shogun at the age of ten. He was a puppet ruler controlled by the Hōjō clan regents.
- 1252 (Kenchō 4, 2nd month): Hōjō Tokiyori and Hōjō Shigetoki sent a representative to Kyoto to accompany Munetaka to Kamakura where he would be installed as shogun.[2]
- 1266 (Bun'ei 3, 7th month): Munetaka was deposed, and his son Koreyasu was installed as the 7th shogun at the age of two.[3]
The deposed shogun became a Buddhist monk in 1272. His priestly name was Gyōshō.[1] He was a writer of Waka poetry.
