Konoe family
The Konoe family (近衛家 Konoe-ke) was a branch of the Fujiwara clan, a powerful noble family in Japan. As one of the five regent houses, the Konoe family monopolized the offices of Sessho and Kampaku along with Takatsukasa, Kujo, Nijo and Ichijo families. They are collectively known as the Five regent houses.
With the support from Taira no Kiyomori, Konoe Motozane founded the clan. Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe came from this clan.
