Later Hojo Clan

Japanese: 後北条氏 - ごほうじょうし

The origins of the Ise Naga clan, the founder of the Sengoku period daimyo who wielded widespread influence throughout the Kanto region, are unclear. They were guests of the Imagawa clan of Suruga, but in the late 15th century they advanced from Nirayama in Izu to Sagami, and based themselves in Odawara, and Naga clan's son Ujitsuna took the name Hojo. Grandson Ujiyasu expanded his sphere of influence, conquering the southern half of Kanto, and became a leading Sengoku daimyo who competed with Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen for supremacy. For five generations, until their downfall in 1590 during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Odawara Expedition, they skillfully governed their territories and prospered. To distinguish them from the regent Hojo clan of the Kamakura period, they are commonly known as the Later Hojo clan.

Japanese:

戦国時代，関東に広く勢力をもった戦国大名
始祖伊勢長氏の出身は明らかではない。駿河今川氏の食客であったが，15世紀末伊豆韮山 (にらやま) から相模に進出，小田原を本拠とし長氏の子氏綱から北条氏を称した。孫氏康は支配圏を広げ関東南半を制圧し，上杉謙信・武田信玄と覇を競う戦国大名の雄となった。1590年豊臣秀吉の小田原征討で滅びるまで，５代にわたり領国統治を巧みに行い栄えた。鎌倉時代の執権北条氏と区別するため，俗に後北条氏と称す。
