History

The Konoe claim descent from Konoe Iezane (1179–1242),[1] and the origin of the family name was the residence for the family of Konoe Motozane (Iezane's grandfather), 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 in Kamakura period,[2] and the head of each five families had rights to become the Sesshō and Kampaku (regents).[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 as of 1392, records about Tsunetada's descendants were lost and incomplete ever since.[5]

There were at least five Imperial Consorts who came from 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 is Konoe Koreko (近衛維子, 1760-1783), who married the 118th Emperor of Japan, Emperor Go-Momozono; they had an only daughter Princess Yoshiko.[10]

As of 1605, since Konoe Nobutada (1565-1614) had no male heir, one of his nephews (the fourth son of Emperor Go-Yozei) was chosen as his heir and named Konoe Nobuhiro (1599-1649), who later married his daughter.[11][12] Nobuhiro's patrilineal lineage of the Imperial House descended in the head of the family until 1956, when the eldest son of Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe,[13] Fumitaka, died in the Soviet Union[14] without legitimate male heir. As the result, Fumitaka's wife 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]
