Changes

These forces faced meager opposition on their way to the capital; the Imperial commanders were simply outfought. When Go-Toba heard of this string of defeats, he left the city for [[Enryakuji|Mount Hiei]], where he asked for aid from the ''[[sohei|sôhei]]'', the warrior monks of Mount Hiei. They declined, citing weakness, and the Go-Toba returned to Kyoto. The remnants of the Imperial army fought their final stand at the bridge over the river Uji, where the opening battle of the Genpei War had been fought, 41 years earlier. Yasutoki's cavalry pushed through, scattering the Imperial forces, and pressed on to Kyoto.

The fighting lasted only about one month. The capital was taken by the shogun's forces, and Go-Toba's rebellion was put to an end. Go-Toba was banished to the [[Oki province|Oki Islands]], from where he never returned. His sons were also banished, including [[Emperor Tsuchimikado|Retired Emperor Tsuchimikado]] (to [[Tosa province|Tosa]]) and [[Emperor Juntoku|Retired Emperor Juntoku]] (to [[Sado province|Sado]]), and the recently enthroned [[Emperor Chukyo]], the first son of Juntoku, was replaced with [[Emperor Go-Horikawa]], a nephew of Go-Toba.

The shogunate confiscated three thousand imperial [[shoen|estates]], appointed additional ''[[jito|jitô]]'' to oversee central and western Japan, and established a shogunal branch headquarters in Kyoto, expanding its power and dramatically weakening both the position of [[Retired Emperor]], and the Imperial Court & court aristocracy more broadly.<ref>Conrad Schirokauer, David Lurie, and Suzanne Gay, ''A Brief History of Japanese Civilization'', Wadsworth Cengage (2013), 75. </ref> Though often regarded as less prominent in Japanese history than, for example, the [[Genpei War]] of [[1180]]-[[1185]], or the events surrounding the fall of the Kamakura shogunate in the 1330s, historian [[Amino Yoshihiko]] emphasizes the importance of the Jôkyû Disturbance as a significant historical event, marking a notable expansion, or extension, of the shogunate's ability to intervene in the politics of the Imperial Court.<ref>Amino Yoshihiko, Alan Christy (trans.), ''Rethinking Japanese History'', Center for Japanese Studies, University of Michigan (2012), 266n29.</ref>
