Hōjō Nagatoki

Hōjō Nagatoki (1230–1264), also called Akahashi Nagatoki, was the heir of Shigetoki. He grew up in Kyoto and in 1247 succeeded his father as Rokuhara tandai.

In 1256 the tonsured Tokiyori made him the sixth shikken as caretaker for the young Tokimune, keeping real power himself. Nagatoki held office until illness forced him to resign and take the tonsure in 1264; he died weeks later aged thirty-five. Twelve of his waka entered the imperial anthologies.
