English: Moreover, as long as the bakufu virtually controlled the right of appointment of regent or chief advisor to the Emperor, even the family head of the Gosekke could not oppose the intention of the bakufu, and the system for controlling the Imperial Court, which was the orderly sequence from the bakufu through the sekke/samurai families (five plus four people at most) to the Emperor and each court noble, was thereby established as an extremely efficient system for the bakufu.
Japanese: 更にその五摂家の当主ですら幕府が摂政・関白の任命権を事実上掌握している以上、幕府の意向に反する事は出来なかったために、その結果、幕府→摂家・武家伝奏（最大でも5＋4名）→天皇及び諸公家という幕府にとっては非常に効率の良い朝廷統制の仕組みが完成した。
English: Nonetheless, the Emperor and court nobles from families other than the Sekke were not amenable and continued their resistance when the opportunity arose.
Japanese: もっとも、天皇や摂家以外の公家もこれに素直に従う事はなく、機会を捉えて抵抗を続けた。
English: Their discontent erupted in the form of cloister governments by both former emperors Gomizuno (Emperor/Reigen Emperor), in the Horeki Conspiracy or Songo Ikken (incident) and Demo, of the 88 retainers of the Imperial Court.
Japanese: その不満が後水尾天皇・霊元天皇両太上天皇による院政や宝暦事件・尊号一件・廷臣八十八卿列参事件などの形で噴出することになる。
English: Moreover, since the Meiji's new administration adopted the system of departments of state, the sekke was no longer appointed as regent or chief advisor to the Emperor.
Japanese: また明治新政権が太政官制を敷いた為、摂家から摂政及び関白に任じられることはなくなった。
English: Therefore, the five families after the Meiji era are now generally referred to as 'Old Sekke' or 'Old Sekkan Family,' with the prefix 'Old' as an addition.
Japanese: 従って明治以降の5家については、「旧摂家」或いは｢旧摂関家」など「旧」を冠して呼称することが多い。

Japanese: 戦前の旧皇室典範に於いては皇族男子との結婚資格は皇族と華族に与えられていたが、将来の皇后たるべき皇室嫡流の正室（即ち皇太子妃）となるべき者は、皇族若しくは旧摂家の女子に限るという不文律が存在した。
English: The Seiga Family was one of the kakaku (family status) of court nobles or nobility, which is the kakaku above the daijinke (Daijin Family) and was next to the sekke (Setsu Family).
Japanese: 清華家（せいがけ）とは、公家・公卿の家格のひとつで、大臣家の上で摂家に次ぐ家格。
English: The family concurrently served Konoe Taisho general and was thus promoted to grand minister of state (however, since the requirement for taking the position of grand minister of state in the Edo period was the person who had served as regent or chief advisor to the Emperor, the highest official rank the Seiga family could attain was that of minister of the left).
Japanese: 近衛大将・大臣を兼任し、最高は太政大臣まで昇進できる家（ただし、江戸時代には太政大臣の就任要件として摂政・関白経験者に限られたために、清華家は左大臣が事実上の極官となる）。
English: According to the Nobility Act implemented in the Meiji period, the Seiga Family was, in principle, entitled to the title of marquess; however, thanks to the achievements during the Meiji Restoration, the Sanjo Family was entitled to the title of duke, while the Saionji and Tokudaiji families, which were formerly entitled to the title of marquess, were later entitled to the title of duke by means of shosyaku (attaining higher rank based on achievement).
Japanese: 明治の華族令によって、原則的には侯爵に叙されることになったが、維新の功績によって三条家は公爵とされ、また一旦侯爵とされた西園寺家と徳大寺家も後に公爵に陞爵した。
English: Although the Toin Family of the Fujiwara Hokke-Kanin group also produced grand ministers of state from the Kamakura era through the Muromachi era as frequently as the Seiga Family did, since the family line of the Toin Family failed in the early Sengoku period the Toin Family did not have kakaku corresponding to that of court noble, such as the Seiga Family or other families established during the Edo period.
Japanese: なお、藤原北家閑院流の洞院家も、鎌倉～室町期に上記清華家と同等に太政大臣をたびたび輩出しているが、戦国時代の初めに断絶しているため、江戸時代に確立した清華家等の公家の家格に該当するものがない。

Japanese: 師房は御堂関白藤原道長の女婿（師房の妻は道長の娘尊子）、またその嫡男藤原頼通の養子となり、その子孫も摂関家と深い姻戚関係を築いた。
English: Naidaijin (minister) MINAMOTO no Michichika (1149 to 1202), who was Morofusa's fifth-generation grandson, expelled the chief advisor to the Emperor Kanezane KUJO in a conspiracy with TAKASHINA no Eishi, and was a person who flaunted his power, thereby earning the nickname 'Gen Haku Riku.'

Japanese: 久我家嫡流は長く源氏長者や淳和院・奨学院両院別当を兼任したが、室町時代、武家源氏の将軍足利義満にその地位を奪われた。

Japanese: 大納言藤原公実の長男太政大臣三条実行（1080年-1162年）が初代。
English: To further distinguish the Ogimachi-Sanjo Family (renamed 'Saga' at the time of Sanenaru SAGA) of Daijinke, which was descended from the Sanjo Family, the Sanjo Family is most often referred to with the prefix Temporin.
Japanese: この家から分かれた大臣家の正親町三条家（嵯峨実愛の時に「嵯峨」と改称）と区別するために転法輪を冠して呼ぶことが多い。
English: The numerous branch families included the Ogimachi-Sanjo Family and Sanjonishi Family of Daijinke, as well as the Shigenoi Family and Anegakoji Family of the Urin Family.

Japanese: 同じく公実の次男中納言西園寺通季（1090年-1128年）を祖とする。

Japanese: 通季は母藤原光子が正妻だったため嫡子とされたが、早世したために兄弟の中でも官位が最も低かった。
English: The fourth generation, that of Grand Minister of State Kintsune SAIONJI (1171 to 1244), held the reins of power as a pro-shogunate group after the Jokyu-no-ran War, thereby seizing the position of maternal relative and the hereditary job position of Kanto Moshitsugi from the Sekkan Family.

Japanese: この家は鳥羽天皇・後白河天皇院政期の後宮をほぼ独占したが、鎌倉時代以後やや衰えた。
English: The Tokudaiji Family had a strong kindred connection to the Saionji Family; for example, in the Meiji period Kinmochi SAIONJI was born into the Tokudaiji Family and subsequently adopted by the Saionji Family (as an act of nyushi (joining the family to become an heir)).

Japanese: 摂政太政大臣藤原師実の次子右大臣花山院家忠（1062年-1136年）より始まる。
English: The family name came from the fact that Ietada had inherited Higashi-Ichijoin (Kazanin), the Imperial Palace of Emperor Kazan.
Japanese: 家忠が花山天皇の御所だった東一条院（花山院）を伝領したためこの家名がある。
English: Because the third generation, Tadamasa KAZANIN (1124 to 1193), was familiar with the Emperor's politics in the Imperial Palace and was a relative of TAIRA no Kiyomori, he was exceptionally promoted to be the grand minister of state.
Japanese: 三代花山院忠雅（1124年-1193年）は朝政に明るかった上に、平清盛と親戚関係にあったことから、太政大臣という異例の昇進を遂げた。

Japanese: 花山院家と同じく摂政師実の子大炊御門経実（1068年-1131年）が初代。
English: Tsunezane was promoted only up to supernumerary chief councilor of state, but his son Tsunemune OINOMIKADO (1119 to 1189) held the reins of power as the maternal father of Emperor Nijo and was promoted to minister of the left so as to ensure the kakaku (family status) of the Seiga Family (Tsunemune's mother was Kimiko, a daughter of Kinzane KANINRYU).
Japanese: 経実は権大納言どまりであったが、その子大炊御門経宗（1119年-1189年）は二条天皇の外舅として勢威をふるい、左大臣に昇って清華家の家格を確保した（経宗は閑院流公実の女公子を母とする）。

Japanese: 摂関家には近衛流と九条流(摂関家)があるが、どちらか一方を本家と決めることはできない。
English: The family name comes from the fact that the originator's son Motomichi KONOE called his house, which was located north of the Kyoto guardsman and east of Muromachi, 'Konoe-dono house.'
Japanese: 子の近衛基通が、京都近衛の北、室町の東の邸宅を「近衛殿」と称したことが由来。

Japanese: 現近衛家当主で、日本赤十字社社長等の近衛忠てるは、細川護貞の次男（文麿の外孫）であり、文麿の子近衛文隆夫人の養子となって近衛家を継いだ。
English: Because the family was started in Kira no sho Isshiki in Mikawa-no-kuni (present-day Isshiki-cho Hazu-gun Aichi Prefecture), they gave themselves the surname Isshiki.
Japanese: 三河国の吉良荘一色（現・愛知県幡豆郡一色町）から起こったため、一色姓を名乗った。
English: When the Muromachi bakufu was established, Noriuji ISSHIKI and Naouji ISSHIKI became Kyushu Tandai (local commissioners), but since they failed to get a result in war, the Isshiki clan became weaker.

English: However, the family of Norimitsu Isshiki, the second child of Noriuji, rendered distinguished service; therefore, the family power was regained to become shugo (guard feudal lord) of Mikawa-no-kuni, Wakasa-no-kuni and Tango-no-kuni, and also held the reins of power as one of the Shishiki families, in what was the most flourishing time for the Isshiki clan.
Japanese: しかし、範氏の次子の一色範光の一族が功績をたて家勢を回復し、三河国・若狭国・丹後国の守護大名となると同時に、四職家の一つとして権勢を奮い、一色氏は最盛期を迎えた。
English: However, since they had gained too much power, Yoshitsura Isshiki, who was the family head of the Isshiki clan, was killed by Yoshinori ASHIKAGA, the sixth-generation shogun of the Muromachi, and an attack by the Takeda clan resulted in the weakening of family power.
Japanese: しかし、力をつけすぎたために室町幕府の第六代将軍・足利義教に時の一色氏の当主一色義貫が殺害されてしまったうえ、武田氏の攻撃を受け勢力を縮小させてしまう。
English: Then, Yoshinao ISSHIKI gained the confidence of the eighth-generation shogun, Yoshimasa ASHIKAGA, but in the turmoil of the Onin War in 1467 the Isshiki clan belonged to the Western army led by Sozen YAMANA because the clan was opposed to Wakasa-Takeda clan, which belonged to the Eastern army led by Katsumoto HOSOKAWA; this resulted in the defeat of the Western army, and thereafter the clan gradually weakened.
Japanese: その後、一色義直が第八代将軍・足利義政の信任を受けるが、1467年の応仁の乱では細川勝元の東軍に与した若狭武田氏との反目から山名宗全の西軍に与して敗れたため、次第に衰退の一途をたどるようになる。

English: In the generation of Yoshimichi ISSHIKI, Yoshimichi was killed in 1579 as a result of the invasion of an army led by Yusai HOSOKAWA, as ordered by Nobunaga ODA, and thereafter Yoshimichi's son Yoshisada ISSHIKI and Yoshimichi's younger brother, Yoshikiyo ISSHIKI tried hard to fight against the Hosokawa army; however, they were killed in 1582, and this resulted in the complete downfall of the Isshiki clan in Tango.
Japanese: そして一色義道の時代には、織田信長の命令を受けた細川幽斎軍の侵攻に遭って義道は1579年に殺され、その後を義道の子の一色義定や、弟の一色義清も継いで細川軍と懸命に戦ったが、最終的には1582年に両者も殺されて、丹後における一色氏は完全に滅亡してしまった。
English: Incidentally, the Isshiki clan families were scattered around the country, and in Kanto there existed the Satte Castellan Isshiki clan (a family of Osakane ISSHIKI, who was a grandchild of Naouji ISSHIKI) as a family of the Kamakura Kubo, and they served Koga Kubo till the end; moreover, the clan continued as the hatamoto (direct retainer of the shogun) and the domain of Mito during the Edo period.
Japanese: なお、一色氏の一族は各地に点在しており、関東には鎌倉公方の御一家として幸手城主一色氏（一色直氏の孫の一色長兼の一族）がおり、古河公方の終焉まで仕え、江戸時代には旗本や水戸藩として続いた。

English: However, Nagahide NIWA and his family were of the Taira clan, and the family line was therefore different (categorized under the Niwa clan).
Japanese: ただし丹羽長秀とその一族とは平氏であり、家系は異なる（Category丹羽氏）。
English: Suden, who served Ieyasu TOKUGAWA as an aide, was a descendant of the Isshiki clan; and the family of Norikatsu ISSHIKI, who was a cousin of Suden, served as the hatamoto.
Japanese: また徳川家康の側近として仕えた崇伝は一色氏の末裔であり、崇伝の従兄弟の一色範勝の一族は旗本として仕えた。
English: During the Sengoku period (the Warring States period) (Japan), the family line failed once in the generation of Tadafuyu TAKATSUKASA, but in the early Edo period Nobufusa TAKATSUKASA, the son of Haruyoshi NIJO, restored the Takatsukasa Family, which continued to exist until the modern age.

Japanese: 江戸後期から幕末にかけて鷹司家の当主が関白を務める機会が多く、特に鷹司政通は30年余りにわたって関白を務めた。
English: Because Takako TAKATSUKASA, the daughter of Nobufusa, became a legitimate wife of Iemitsu TOKUGAWA, her younger brother Nobuhira TAKATSUKASA was allowed to refer to himself as being of the Takatsukasa-Matsudaira Family, and he changed his social status from a court noble who served the Emperor to a hatamoto (a direct vassal of the shogun) of the Tokugawa family; the Takatsukasa Family, a samurai family, had been promoted over generations and ultimately became the house of the lord of the domain of Yoshii, in Kozuke Province.
Japanese: また、信房の娘の鷹司孝子が徳川家光の正室となったことから、弟である鷹司信平は、鷹司松平家を名乗ることが許され、天皇に仕える公家から、徳川家の旗本へと転身した、この武家の鷹司家は、代を重ねるごとに加増され、最終的には上野国吉井藩主家となった。
English: The Kujo line of sekkan (regent and senior regent) houses, the House of Fujiwara North of the Fujiwara clan, was a kugyo (court noble) during the Kamakura period; the original forefather was Sanetsune ICHIJO, the third son of Michiie KUJO; the name of the house was due to the fact that Sanetsune had inherited Ichijo Hall, which had been built by Michiie as a residence.
Japanese: 藤原氏藤原北家摂関家九条流で、鎌倉時代の公卿である、九条道家三男一条実経を祖とし、道家が創建した一条殿を実経が受け継いで住んだ事が家名の由来。
English: As for the ranking, the Ichijo Family was inferior to the Konoe Family but was equal to the Kujo, Nijo and Takatsukasa families (the Ichijo Family was opposed to the Kujo Family over the legitimate blood of the family during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts (Japan), so the Emperor Go-Kogen gave the imperial order that both family lines should be the legitimate blood of the family. For details, see the item on the Kujo Family).
Japanese: 序列は近衛家に次ぎ、九条家、二条家、鷹司家と同格扱いであった（なお、九条家とは南北朝時代_(日本)に嫡流を巡って相論となったが、後光厳天皇によりいずれも嫡流であるとの綸旨が下された。詳細は九条家の項目を参照のこと）。
English: The stipend during the Edo period was 1000 koku at the beginning, which was later raised to 1500 koku and up to 2044 koku by the end of the Edo shogunate period.
Japanese: 江戸時代の家禄は初め1000石、後に1500石へ加増、幕末は2044石。
English: During the Sengoku period (the Warring States period (Japan)), Norifusa ICHIJO moved down to Tosa, which was his fief, and the branch family became a Sengoku-daimyo (warring lord), the Tosa-Ichijo family.
Japanese: また、戦国時代(日本)には一条教房が所領であった土佐に下向し、分家が戦国大名化し土佐一条氏となった。

English: Haruko, the third daughter of Tadaka ICHIJO, who was the family head at the end of the Edo shogunate period, became the empress of Emperor Meiji (Empress Shoken).
Japanese: 幕末期の当主・一条忠香の三女・美子が明治天皇の皇后となった（昭憲皇太后）。
English: The family name came from the fact that the second son of Michiie KUJO, Yoshizane NIJO, referred to the house in Nijo-Kyogoku as Nijo Palace during the Kamakura period.

Japanese: 足利将軍家および徳川将軍家から、代々諱を賜い、五摂家のなかでは、最も親幕府派とされる。
English: The Nijo Family was once schismatized during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts (Japan), but it regained power under Yoshimoto NIJO, who was on the Northern Dynasty (Japan) side.
Japanese: 南北朝時代(日本)に一時分裂したが、北朝(日本)方二条良基のもとで勢力を取り戻した。
English: Particularly, after the Muromachi period until Meiji period, the Nijo Family dominated the position that was in charge of "Sokui kanjo (accession to the throne)," which was to offer kanjo (cabalistic ceremony provided to the Emperor-to-be) to the new Emperor at an enthronement ceremony.
Japanese: 特に明治以前の即位式において新天皇に灌頂を授ける「即位灌頂」の儀を掌る役目は室町時代以後二条家が独占していた。
English: During the Edo period, Motohiro KONOE, who was at the time considered to be the most powerful among the sekke families, argued that the Nijo Family should not continue the dominant position in the accession to the throne out of the following two reasons: one being that the code of etiquette for accession should originally come down to all the sekke families, and the other being that the previous family head, Mitsuhira NIJO, had died young, and therefore the code of etiquette had terminated.
Japanese: 江戸時代、当時の摂家最大の実力者とされていた近衛基熙が本来は摂関家全てに即位灌頂の礼式が伝わっている事、先代当主の二条光平の早世で礼式が絶えたことを理由に二条家の独占を継続すべきではないと唱えた。
English: In reply to the argument, the retired Emperor Reigen reasoned that there should have been a substantial reason why the position had been dominated by the Nijo Family despite the fact that the accession to the throne had come down to the other families, and judged that even if the head of the Nijo Family was not the incumbent regent, chief adviser to the Emperor or minister, only the 'Sokui kanjo' should be administered by the head of the Nijo Family, and that in the case where the family head inherited the Nijo Family while still young, the Emperor (who was the other that knew mysticism of the ceremony) should give instructions to the family head, all of which resulted in the official domination of the position by the Nijo Family.
Japanese: これに対して霊元上皇は他家にも伝わっているにも関わらず二条家の独占になっているのは相応の理由があるからであるとして、たとえ二条家当主が現職の摂関・大臣でなくても「即位灌頂」のみは二条家当主が行う事、もし当主が幼くして二条家を継いだ場合には儀式の秘法を知るもう一人の存在である当代の天皇が責任をもって当主に伝授する事を裁定して公式に二条家の独占となった。
