Kasagi (Japan)
A famous mountain in the province of Yamato. In 1320 the Emperor Go-Daigo, the ninety-seventh of the Imperial line, being exasperated by the arrogance and intolerance of the then Regent Hojo, induced the Buddhist monks to join him in fortifying this mountain, in the neighbourhood of which he built a palace for his own residence apart from that at the capital. But the forces which the Regent was able to bring against Kasagi were too strong for the Emperor to succeed at the time, though he did so at a later date. Kasagi was attacked and destroyed, and the Emperor was for several years a prisoner in the hands of the Hojo.
