Kujō Tanemichi

Kujō Tanemichi[1] (九条稙通, February 22, 1507 – February 24, 1594), was a kugyō or Japanese court noble and classic scholar of the Muromachi period (1336–1573). He was the biological son of regent Hisatsune and Sanjōnishi Yasuko, eldest daughter of Sanjōnishi Sanetaka (1455–1537), the leading waka master, tea expert and incense expert of his time.[2][3]

Kujō Tanemichi held a regent position (kampaku) from 1533 to 1534. The calligrapher and poet, Ono Otsu, was one of his students. Kanetaka was his adopted son.

Sanjōnishi Yasuko, Sanetaka's eldest daughter, who was married to Kujō Hisatsune (1468–1530) in 1495. The marriage secured an immediate elevation in social circumstances, since the Kujō, as one of the select five Regent Houses (gosekke), were of a higher status than the Sanjōnishi. Yasuko was now the wife of a future regent, and any male heirs she bore would likely occupy the position in the future; indeed, her son Kujō Tanemichi (1507–94) eventually became regent in 1533.
