The "kuge" branch continued their legacy of scholarship, spawning writers, scholars, poets and artists. The descendants possessed hereditarily the office of "daigeki". Kiyohara no Yorinari (1122–1189), son of the "Daigeki" Kiyohara no Suketada, was governor of Etchū Province and excelled in law, literature and history. The clan's Kyoto mansion, along with all the books and scrolls contained within, was destroyed in the Ōnin War of the late 15th century.
