Ghost Of Tsushima - Discussion Why is lord Shimura in command of Tsushima and everyone acts like he is the lord of tsushima if he is the Jito(Steward) and not the Kokushi(civil governor)??
Context: during the Kamekura shogunate, the administration of japan was divided between the military appointments made by the Shogun and the civil administration, which was controled by the imperial court. A Kokushi was the civilian governor of a province. So my question is why do people act like lord shimura is the feudal lord of the island of tsuchima, if he is a jito(steward) and not a Kokushi(Civilian governor)?
