Division of Family in Medieval Courtier Society :A Study on Kadenokoji Family

This paper examines how the division of family in medieval courtier society was made through Kadenokoji family which was a branch of Hino family and divided from Yorisuke in 13th century. Hino family was the house of Confucian and classified as Meika which was a civilian class who could be also appointed chunagon. Yorisuke made a career as he served Konoe family, which was counted as one of the five regent houses(sekke). Kadenokoji family was established when Tsunemitsu, Yorisuke s son, succeeded to his father s career and family business; therefore, Kanenaka, Tsunemitsu s son, took pride in his family tradition handed down from generation to generation. The paper also demonstrates that family(ie) was self-complete, but clan was effective at rites for ancestors. Lastly, the paper analyzes the limit of courtier society: it was not allowed for branch family to exceed family status the head family had established in 12th century.
