Minamoto no Sanetomo was the third shogun of the [[Kamakura shogunate]]. The second son of [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]] and [[Hojo Masako|Hôjô Masako]], he succeeded his brother [[Minamoto no Yoriie]] to become shogun on [[1203]]/9/7. Sanetomo was famously assassinated by his nephew [[Minamoto no Kugyo|Minamoto no Kugyô]] in [[1219]]. Though many historians have described Sanetomo as a weak, ineffective, or soft shogun, or as merely a puppet of the [[Hojo clan|Hôjô]], like most such assessments, arguments have been made against this representation as well.

Sanetomo celebrated his ''[[genpuku]]'' (coming of age) roughly one month after being named shogun.

According to some records, officials or leaders of the [[Kamakura shogunate]] misled the Imperial Court into naming Sanetomo "shogun" even before Yoriie's death. Others suggest that Yoriie simply stepped down and allowed himself to be succeeded by Sanetomo. Sanetomo celebrated his ''[[genpuku]]'' (coming of age) roughly one month later.

Sanetomo married [[Bomon Nobuko|Bômon Nobuko]], a daughter of [[Bomon Nobukiyo|Fujiwara (Bômon) Nobukiyo]]. He received tutoring in poetry from [[Fujiwara no Teika]]. Fond of poetry and culture, he invited [[Kamo no Chomei|Kamo no Chômei]] to court in [[1211]]. Sanetomo is also known for his support of Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines.
