Later Hōjō clan

Common card · No. 278362

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. Their last name was simply Hōjō (北条), but were called "Later Hōjō" to differentiate between the earlier powerful Hōjō clan who had the same name and mon, even though the later Hōjō are not mainline direct descendants who only adopted the name for prestige.
