:
: Genealogics update, a few hours ago,
: produced also a Fujiwara genealogy to
: display. Its male line, since lord Omuraji
: Tokiwa (magnate of the clan of the deity
: Ame-no-Koyane), who received the byname
: Nakatomi, and flourished sometime in 500s
: (he appears to have been a contemporary and
: adviser of great king Amehara Oshiharaki
: Hironiwa, of Great Yamato, 29th monarch, who
: legendarily allowed Buddhism to get
: introduced to Japan), is now rudimentarily
: displayed at:
:
:
: http://genealogics.org/descend.php?personID=I00523682&tree=LEO&displayoption=male&generations=6
:
: (additions and amendments, of course, would
: likely be forthcoming in future updates)
:
: [Much of the material have been submissions
: from me. Some typos and such inaccuracies
: yet remain - and will be amended.]
:
: The Fujiwara descent seems to have already
: some persons in its 50th generation, counted
: from the ancient lord Omuraji 'Nakatomi'.
:
: The family, in truth, expanded into several
: branches already a millennium ago. One of
: main branches produced the Five Regent
: Families. The lineage, rudimentary Fujiwara
: genealogy, now in display, focuses on that
: male-line branch of Regents which survives
: up to the 20th century.
:
: Other important branches, branched already
: centuries and almost millennium ago, will
: likely be added to the database, in some
: future updates.
:
: These produced imperial consorts, regularly
: mothers of next monarchs, to the imperial
: family, by tradition, throughout the past
: millennium and so.
: The last such empress, to the date, has been
: Sadako kogo, grandmother of emperor Akihito.

: The excellent collection in Genealogics *,
: presents the ancestry of the current monarch
: of Japan
:
: http://genealogics.org/pedigree.php?personID=I00436222&tree=LEO&parentset=0&display=standard&generations=5
:
: (however, soon there will be a corrected and
: augmented version forthcoming, Genealogics
: update probably sometime during this month)

: (* genealogical website of Leo van de Pas)
:
: ... and an archetypal
: maternal ancestry, Fujiwara ancestry
: (Ahihito tenno's paternal grandmother, the
: late Sadako kogo, has that male-line
: pedigree), can be followed historically to
: almost as early dates (lord Kamatari
: Nakatomi lived in 600s, and his
: great-grandfather obviously something like a
: century earlier).
: These two lineages, Yamato dynasty and
: Fujiwara-no-Nakatomi pedigree, are -afaik-
: the longest historically attested Japanese
: lineages from the past.
:
: These two male lines, afaik, are not
: basically problematic in light of historical
: verifiability in any other way than the
: possibility of occasional hidden adultery,
: which is always a caveat in male-line
: pedigrees.
