Funny that the Hōjō used to sort of "rule" Japan (under regency, I think) when it was under the Kamakura Shogunate, which was overthrown by the Kenmu Restoration (by the Emperor and the Ashikaga) then the Ashikaga Shogunate. So the devastation you brought as the Hōjō upon Kyoto can be called as revenge and the restoration of the Kamakura. Or perhaps Hōjō will say "screw it, Hōjō Shogunate it is".
