During the Kamakura period, what sort of leadership did Japan have?

Kamakura culture was largely defined by the rise of the warrior class, which held martial skills and the ideals of duty, loyalty, and bravery in the highest regard. The practice of ritual suicide by disembowelment (seppuku) and the cult of the sword both emerged during this period. ZenBuddhism, which emphasized discipline, concentration, and direct action, became influential as it appealed to warrior sensibilities, while the new faith sects of True Pure Land and Nichiren Buddhism found followers among the populace. In literature military chronicles that romantically depicted the heroic but often unsuccessful exploits of famous warriors developed into an important genre.
