Fujiwara no Michinaga, who can be said to be the most famous person in the Heian period, will briefly reexamine Mr. Fujiwara's history before investigating him.
After all, it is Mr. Fujiwara who has appeared frequently since the Asuka period.
When talking about Michinaga, " Fujiwara 』\ The origin of Mr. is inevitable.
Birth of Mr. Fujiwara
Mr. Fujiwara Is a Yin Wood Snake in 645 of the Asuka period. It all started when Nakatomi Kamatari, one of the central figures in the [Soga clan's destruction], received Fujiwara no Kamatari from Emperor Tenji (former middle-aged brother and prince) just before his death in 609. > increase.
Yin Wood Snake The reason why this happened was that the power relations in the imperial court before this were divided by Mr. Otomo and Mr. Mononobe, who are related to Shinto rituals and rituals, and Mr. Soga grew up with the purpose of restraining it. Mr. Soga is a powerful family who has a close relationship with the migrants, and although the power of Mr. Otomo and Mr. Mononobe gradually settled down, the power of Mr. Soga became considerably stronger this time.
Buddhism from Baekje, a country on the Korean Peninsula at that time (Because Baekje had deteriorated relations with neighboring countries at that time, it is thought that he introduced Buddhism as one of the means to draw in Japan.) Mr. Soga was connected, and he was involved in Shinto ritual before the introduction of Buddhism.> Mr. Nakatomi However, Mr. Soga is on the other side of the issue of acceptance of Buddhism. In addition, there seemed to be differences in foreign policy, and the circumstances behind this were Yin Wood Snake . It seems that it was connected to.
From Fujiwara no Kamatari to Fuhito
Mr. Fujiwara It was the second son of Kamatari who inherited the name of Fuhito . (The eldest son is a priest). At that time, the other cousins were originally Nakatomi I am in charge of the ritual under the name of Mr. Fujiwara And Mr. Nakatomi To be distinguished.
The second son of this Kamatari, Fujiwara no Fuhito Has four sons, each of whom is " Nanke Fujiwara (Hereafter, Fujiwara is omitted) ”“ Kitaie " Shikike " Kyoya ] Was established.
After that, " Kyoya Mr. Fujiwara (The Kyo family has many early life and few children, so they do not shake. Many people who are effective in terms of culture and art are produced.) And Tachibana A power struggle will be fought with other clans such as.
In 807, Iyo-shinno's change Minamiya However, in 810, Kusuko Incident Shikike Emperor Saga , who had been reigning since 809, when his power declined. Fujiwara no Fuyutsugu After (Fuyutsugu), " Kitaie ] Has come to the fore. In addition, this Fuyutsugu Can be said to be the person who has an affinity with the imperial family and laid the foundation for customs politics.
And Fuyutsugu Son, Yoshifusa Is the first regent of his vassals Mototsune that succeeded it Is Kampaku If you take the real power of politics as (= customs politics After that, Mr. Fujiwara Chief As Chuhei, Saneyori, Yin, Kanemichi ... and so on. Kanemichi Kaneie , the grandfather of Michinaga and the younger brother of Kanemichi The feud has surfaced, and from around this time, the conflict over the chieftain gradually becomes conspicuous.
Kaneie Even in his son's generation, he was usually chief because of the epidemic and illness caused by diabetes. The fifth son, Michinaga Will be firmly one of the candidates for Mr. Fujiwara's chief.
Anyway, it is a powerful family that has continued before the Asuka period, and it was Fujiwara that started in the Emperor Tenji era. is. You can see that over the years, we have fought many times and built a strong ground in the imperial court.
There is an anecdote because he is from Mr. Fujiwara, and the people and personalities around him ... various things are recorded as records for posterity. I would like to write an image of Michinaga including that area in the future.
