genealogy

Minamoto no Morofusa (Drawing: Kikuchi Yōsai )
  • Morofusa ( 師 房 ; 1008-1077), eldest son of Prince Tomohira and the daughter of Prince Tamehira - who was also his cousin - and thus a grandson of the emperor on both his father's and mother's side. Morufusa was known as a writer and poet. When he came of age in 1020 he was given the name Minamoto no Sukesada ( 源 資 定 ) and married 1024 Sonshi / Takako ( 尊 子 ), a daughter of the de facto regent Fujiwara no Michinaga . His daughter, Reishi ( 麗 子 ), married Fujiwara no Morozane . In 1029 he became Saemon no kami (commander of the left gate guard ), 1059 Ukonoe- daishō (commander of the right bodyguard), then Naidaijin (minister of the interior), 1069 Udaijin (chancellor on the right) and received the second highest rank of court in 1074 , as well as on the day of his death the matching title Dajō-daijin (Grand Chancellor). He is known under the name Tsuchimikado-Udaijin . He left a diary, Doyūki ( 土 右 記 ).
  • Toshifusa ( 俊 房 ; 1035–1121) was the son of Morofusa. After holding the highest positions in the government for 40 years, that of Sadaijin (Chancellor on the left; 1082), and a month later Udaijin, he shaved his head (i.e. became a monk) and called himself Jakushun ( 寂 俊 ). People called him "Horikawa-Sadaijin" ( 堀 河 左 大臣 ) because his residence in Kyoto was on the Horikawa River. He left an autobiography called Suisaki ( 水 左 記 ).
  • Moroyori ( 師 頼 ; 1070–1139), Toshifusa's son, and Tachibana no Toshitsuna's adopted child, studied under the scholar Ōe no Tadafusa ( 大江 匡 房 ; 1041–1111) and then distinguished himself as a writer. It was named Dainagon in 1113 and therefore Ono-no-miya Dainagon ( 小野 宮 大 納 言 ).
  • Masazane ( 雅 実 ; 1059–1127), a son of Morofusa's son Akifusa and the daughter of Minamoto no Takatoshis, rose to Dajō-daijin and Kampaku (regent) in 1122 and was therefore after this office was practiced almost exclusively by the Fujiwara , the first Minamoto in this capacity. He is known under the name Kuga Dajō-daijin ( 久 我 太 政 大臣 ). He left the diary Koga Shōkoku-ki ( 久 我 相 国 記 ). The family of the court aristocracy Koga derived from him, whose head carried the title of margrave after the Meiji Restoration .
  • Michichika ( 通 親 ; 1149–1202), Masazane's great-grandson, was a member of the government under seven different emperors. His adopted daughter married Emperor Go-Toba and became the mother of Emperor Tsuchimikado . The noble families Horikawa, Tsuchimikado and Nakanoin are derived from Michichika.
