Rensho - assistant of shikken of Kamakura shogunate
 

Rensho (連署) was an assistant of shikken (regents) of the Kamakura shogunate in Japan.

The rensho, which means cosigner, put his signature next to that of the shikken on the official orders. In 1224 the third shikken Hojo Yasutoki appointed Tokifusa as the rensho for the first time. Since then, rensho was chosen from influential members of the Hojo clan, but not from the main line of the clan (tokuso) except Tokimune, who temporarily occupied the position from 1264 to 1268.
