The Chronicles of the Five Generations of the Hojo

Japanese: 北条五代記 - ほうじょうごだいき

A book of anecdotes about the five generations of the later Hojo clan: Soun, Ujitsuna, Ujiyasu, Ujimasa, and Ujinao. Ten volumes. It is stated in the book that it is an abridgement of articles related to the Hojo clan from the 32 volumes of Kenbunshu, written by Miura Joshin, a surviving Hojo retainer. The author is unknown. The rise and fall of the Hojo clan is recorded in sections, but further examination is required before it can be used as a historical source. There are slight differences in the number of sections and content among the various published versions. Included in the Revised Collection of Historical Documents. [Shimomura Nobuhiro]
