Established in Kyoto's Rokuhara district after the shogunate's victory in the Jōkyū War of 1221, the Rokuhara Tandai served as the Kamakura shogunate's representative office in the capital. Hōjō Yasutoki and Tokifusa were the first appointees, and the post passed thereafter among Hōjō kinsmen as the Northern and Southern Tandai. It supervised the imperial court, intervened in imperial succession, controlled western vassals, and policed and adjudicated in Kyoto — the linchpin of Kamakura rule in western Japan. It fell in 1333 to Ashikaga Takauji alongside the shogunate itself.
