" Minamoto Yoritomo ruled from 1192 to 1199 from his family seat at Kamakura, about 50 km (30 miles) south of Tokyo. His reign marked the beginning of the bakufu system under which the emperors in Kyoto were mere figureheads, and the shoguns ruled Japan. This system would endure under the leadership of different clans for almost 700
