Konoe (近衛) is a Japanese aristocratic family.^[1] The family is a branch of Hokke and,^[2] by extension, a main branch of the Fujiwara clan.^[3]

History

The Konoe claim descent from Konoe Iezane (1179–1242).^[1] The origin of the family name was the residence of Iezane's grandfather Konoe Motozane, which was located on a road in Kyoto named "Konoe-Ōji" (近衛大道).^[4] Despite Konoe at first being the senior line of the Fujiwara clan, the clan was eventually split up into Five regent houses during the Kamakura period,^[2] with each of the five families having the right to assume the regency.^[1] During the following Nanboku-chō period, a succession dispute of Konoe emerged, between Tsunetada and his cousin Mototsugu – they served in rival courts, the Southern and the Northern Court respectively; later, when the Southern court lost its political influence in 1392, records of Tsunetada's descendants became lost and have stayed lost ever since.^[5]

There were at least five Imperial Consorts who came from the Konoe family,^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10] including Konoe Sakiko, who was adopted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1586.^[8] The most recent consort from the Konoe was Konoe Koreko [ja; th; zh] (近衛維子, 1760–1783), who married the 118th Emperor of Japan, Emperor Go-Momozono; they had one daughter Princess Yoshiko.^[10]

In the early 17th century the Konoe family was imperiled, for

Emperor Go-Yozei. The child was renamed Konoe Nobuhiro (1599–1649), who later married Nobutada's daughter.^[11]^[12] From there the Konoe lineage was renewed and continued until 1956, when the eldest son of Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe,^[13] Fumitaka, died in the Soviet Union^[14] without a legitimate male heir. Fumitaka's wife subsequently adopted his nephew Tadateru Konoe, second son of Fumitaka's sister, as their heir.^[15] Tadateru's patrilineal descent, through his biological father Morisada Hosokawa,^[16] comes from the Hosokawa clan, a cadet branch of Seiwa Genji and descended from Emperor Seiwa;^[17] he also has an elder brother Morihiro Hosokawa, the Prime Minister of Japan from 1993 to 1994. Tadateru married, in 1966, a granddaughter of Emperor Taishō, Yasuko (formerly Princess Yasuko of Mikasa).^[18]
