Anniversary posts mark the death of Kujō Yoritsugu, the fifth shōgun of the Kamakura shōgunate, who died on this day in 1256. Coming to power as a child under Hōjō regents' control, his reign reflected the shōgunate's shift to figurehead leadership. Commenters are using the occasion to encourage travel to Kamakura, the historic seat of Japan's medieval military government, home to temples, shrines and era landmarks.

Why now: The anniversary of his death in 1256 is prompting history posts and travel interest in Kamakura.
