In 1252 (Kencho 4), he handed over the regent position to his younger brother Kanehira. He also divided Takatsukasa-dai and other assets, and his descendants became the Takatsukasa family. In his later years, he lived in Okayadono in Uji, and was called "Okayadono." He wrote a diary, "Okayakanpaku-ki." <References> Takamuri Itsue, "Study of Families in the Heian, Kamakura and Muromachi Periods"
