Ononomiya

A mansion in Heian-kyo. It occupies an area of ​​1 block on the west side of Oi-mikamon Minami-Karasuma (Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City). It was named after Prince Koretaka (844-897), the son of Emperor Montoku, who was called Ononomiya. It later became the throne of the Grand Minister of State Fujiwara Saneyori (900-970), and was passed down to his grandson and adopted son Sanesuke (957-1046). During Sanesuke's time, Ononomiya was a typical shinden-zukuri (chambered palace) style building with a pond to the south of the shinden and opposing buildings to the east, west, and north. A recitation hall was built to the southeast of the pond, making it famous as a noble throne. After Saneyori passed it on to his daughter, Chifugu, it was passed down through the female line and continued until the Kamakura period despite being hit by fires several times. Because Saneyori was called Ono no Miya Palace, the line of his sons Yoritada and Saneyori, and his grandsons Kinto and Sukehira, was known as the Ononomiya family (lineage), and was also famous for its court etiquette and customs. However, the Kujo line, which continued from Saneyori's younger brother Morosuke to Kaneie and Michinaga, became the main lineage of the regent family, and the Ononomiya family lost influence after the mid-Heian period.

平安京の邸宅。大炊(おおい)御門南烏丸(みなみからすま)西（京都市中京(なかぎょう)区）に方1町の地を占める。文徳(もんとく)天皇皇子で小野宮とよばれた惟喬(これたか)親王（844―897）が住んだためこの名がつき、のちに太政(だいじょう)大臣藤原実頼(さねより)（900―970）の第となり、孫で養子の実資(さねすけ)（957―1046）へ伝えられた。実資時代の小野宮は典型的な寝殿造(しんでんづくり)で、寝殿の南に池、東・西・北に対屋(たいのや)があり、池の南東には念誦(ねんず)堂がつくられ名第として有名だった。実資から娘千古へ譲られたのち女系で伝領され、何度か火災にあいながら鎌倉時代まで続いた。実頼が小野宮殿とよばれたため、その子頼忠(よりただ)・実資、孫の公任(きんとう)・資平(すけひら)などの家系は小野宮家（流）と称され、有職故実(ゆうそくこじつ)の家としても名高かったが、実頼の弟師輔(もろすけ)から兼家(かねいえ)、道長(みちなが)と続く九条流が摂関家の嫡流となったため平安中期以後は勢力を失った。
