Kamakura is a place fortified by nature; the mountains on three sides and the sea on the fourth side. In 1192, Minamotono Yoritomo established the military government (shogunate) at Kamakura based upon the formal recognition from the Imperial Court of Kyoto. During Kamamura period (1192-1333), the military regimes of samurai warrior were established. Kamakura socieity exalted loyalty, honor, and frugality to inspipre bushido (the Way of the Warrior).
