Later Hōjō clan
Japanese clan of the Sengoku period / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In this Japanese name, the surname is Hōjō.
The Later Hōjō clan (Japanese: 後北条氏, Hepburn: Go-Hōjō-shi) was one of the most powerful samurai families in Japan in the Sengoku period and held domains primarily in the Kantō region.[1] Their last name was simply Hōjō (北条), but were called "Later Hōjō" to differentiate between the earlier Hōjō clan who had the same name and mon, even though it was not their official family name.[1]
