Nijō Motohiro
Prince , was a Japanese nobleman who served the Meiji government as a court official and member of House of Peers. Biography Nijō Motohiro was born in Kyoto as the eighth son of Kujō Hisatada. He was adopted by Nijō Narinobu, another of the five regent houses, to carry on the Nijō family name. His wife was a daughter of Maeda Nariyasu, twelfth head of Kaga Domain. Their son was Nijō Atsumoto. On July 7, 1869 as part of the reformation of the court nobility under the new Meiji government, Nijō Motohiro became a prince (''koshaku'') under the new ''kazoku'' peerage system. The change was regarded as a demotion by Nijō and many members of the old aristocracy, however, Nijō continued to serve Emperor Meiji as a court councilor. From September 1890 until January 1920, Nijō served as a member of the House of Peers. Together with Konoe Atsumarō, Nijō was a leader of the ''Sanyōkai'' faction within the upper house, which was critical of Itō Hirobumi’s pro-'' Jiyutō'' ...

Japanese House Of Peers
The was the upper house of the Imperial Diet as mandated under the Constitution of the Empire of Japan (in effect from 11 February 1889 to 3 May 1947). Background In 1869, under the new Meiji government, a Japanese peerage was created by an Imperial decree merging the former court nobility ''( kuge)'' and former feudal lords ('' daimyos'') into a single new aristocratic class called the ''kazoku.'' A second imperial ordinance in 1884 grouped the ''kazoku'' into five ranks equivalent to the European aristocrats: prince (or duke), marquis, count, viscount, and baron. Although this grouping idea was taken from the European peerage, the Japanese titles were taken from Chinese and based on the ancient feudal system in China. Itō Hirobumi and the other Meiji leaders deliberately modeled the chamber on the British House of Lords, as a counterweight to the popularly elected House of Representatives (''Shūgiin''). Establishment In 1889, the House of Peers Ordinance estab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Meiji Period
The is an era of Japanese history that extended from October 23, 1868 to July 30, 1912. The Meiji era was the first half of the Empire of Japan, when the Japanese people moved from being an isolated feudal society at risk of colonization by Western powers to the new paradigm of a modern, industrialized nation state and emergent great power, influenced by Western scientific, technological, philosophical, political, legal, and aesthetic ideas. As a result of such wholesale adoption of radically different ideas, the changes to Japan were profound, and affected its social structure, internal politics, economy, military, and foreign relations. The period corresponded to the reign of Emperor Meiji. It was preceded by the Keiō era and was succeeded by the Taishō era, upon the accession of Emperor Taishō. The rapid modernization during the Meiji era was not without its opponents, as the rapid changes to society caused many disaffected traditionalists from the former samurai ...

The Fujiwara prospered since the ancient times and dominated the imperial court until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. They held the title of Ason. The abbreviated form is . The 8th century clan history ''Tōshi Kaden'' (藤氏家伝) states the following at the biography of the clan's patriarch, Fujiwara no Kamatari (614–669): "Kamatari, the Inner Palace Minister who was also called ‘Chūrō'',''’ was a man of the Takechi district of Yamato Province. His forebears descended from Ame no Koyane no Mikoto; for generations they had administered the rites for Heaven and Earth, harmonizing the space between men and the gods. Therefore, it was ordered their clan was to be called Ōnakatomi" The clan originated when the founder, Nakatomi no Kamatari (614–669) of the Nakatomi clan, was rewarded by Emperor Tenji with the honori ...

History The family name Nijō derived from Yoshizane's residence in Kyoto, where is believed to locate between two roads, the south of "Nijō-Ōji" (二条大路) and the east of "Higashi no Tōin-Ōji" (東洞院大路). As of the Muromachi and Edo period, Nijō family had a relative close relationship comparing with other four regent houses, and the leaders of the Nijō were given names (henki, 偏諱) from that of incumbent shōguns'. Nijō Nariyuki, the last Sesshō and Kampaku, regent from the Fujiwara clan, also came from this family. In 1526, Tominokōji Sukenao (富小路資直, ...
