Suwa Morishige

Suwa Morishige was a mid-Kamakura warrior and a miuchibito of the Hōjō tokusō. First appearing in the Azuma Kagami in 1230, he kept a residence inside Hōjō Yasutoki's compound from 1236 and handled dealings with the court. After ordination he was known as Renbutsu.

As spokesman for the tokusō's housemen he calmed the warriors gathering at Kamakura on the eve of the Hōji War of 1247 and was praised by Hōjō Tokiyori for matchless service. He died around the fourth month of 1267.
