Hanazono-in

One of the residences in the Heian and Kamakura periods. It is also called Higashiichijo or Higashiin. It was once the residence of Emperor Seiwa's son, Shikibukyo Prince Sadayasu, and was named Hanayama because of the many dianthus and bush laurels planted around it. It is located south of Kyoto Konoe-oji, west of the Imperial Palace, and east of the current Kyoto Prefectural Office. It was passed down from Fujiwara Tadahira to Morosuke, and Emperor Reizei lived here when he was the Crown Prince, and Emperor Kazan also lived here. Later, it was passed down to Fujiwara Michinaga's grandson Kanpaku Morozane, along with the neighboring Koichijo-in, and was passed down to his second son, Sadaijin Ietada. The Kazan-in family, famous as one of the Seven Seigake families, began when Ietada adopted Kazan-in as his family name. In 1336 (1st year of the Engen era, 3rd year of the Kenmu era), Emperor Godaigo made this place a temporary imperial palace and moved from there to Yoshino. It was burned down during the Onin War (1467-77).

平安・鎌倉時代の邸宅の一つ。東一条、東院(ひがしのいん)などともいう。清和(せいわ)天皇の皇子式部卿(しきぶきょう)貞保(さだやす)親王の邸宅のあったところで、四周にナデシコ、ハギなどを多く植えたため花山(はなやま)という名があったことから花山院の名がつけられたという。京都近衛(このえ)大路の南、御所の西部、現京都府庁の東方にあたる。藤原忠平(ただひら)・師輔(もろすけ)へと伝領、冷泉(れいぜい)天皇は東宮のときに、また花山法皇もここに住した。のちに隣の小一条院をあわせて藤原道長の孫関白(かんぱく)師実(もろざね)が伝領、その次子左大臣家忠(いえただ)へと受け継がれた。七清華家(せいがけ)の一つとして有名な花山院家は、この家忠がこの花山院を氏号としたのに始まる。1336年（延元1・建武3）後醍醐(ごだいご)天皇はここを仮皇居とし、ここから吉野へ移った。応仁(おうにん)の乱（1467～77）に焼失。
