History

The family claims descent from Fujiwara no Kanezane, third son of Fujiwara no Tadamichi.[4] After the fall of the Taira clan in 1185, Kanezane became Sesshō and Kampaku with the support from Minamoto no Yoritomo;[5] Kanezane then founded a separate family in 1191,[6] taking its name from their residence on the road "Kujō-Ōji" (九条大路), built by his ancestor, Fujiwara no Mototsune.[7] Since then, the Kujō became one of the five Fujiwara families from which the Sesshō and Kampaku could be chosen, later known as the five regent houses.[1] The fourth and fifth shōgun of the Kamakura shogunate, Kujō Yoritsune and Kujō Yoritsugu, came from this family as well.[8]

After the Meiji Restoration, members of the Kujō family were given the title Prince.
