Konoe Taneie

Japanese: 近衛稙家 - このえ・たねいえ

Year of death: July 10, 1566 (July 26, 1566)
Year of birth: 1502
A nobleman from the Warring States period. His father was Konoe Hisamichi. His mother was Tokudaiji Sanezumi's daughter, Ieko. After being promoted to Junior Third Rank in 1514, he served as Minister of the Right and twice as Kanpaku. His younger sister, Keijuin, was married to Ashikaga Yoshiharu, and so he had deep ties with the shogunate. In 1553, when Miyoshi Nagayoshi entered Kyoto and Ashikaga Yoshiteru was driven out of Kyoto, he followed him and lived in Kutsuki, Omi. In 1558, he married his daughter to Yoshiteru. From the Tenbun period onwards, he was also known to have had relations with the Shimazu clan of Satsuma, and in the Shimazu Family Documents, there is a description that Taneie added colophons to Shimazu Tadayoshi's Iroha poems, and arranged for Shimazu Tadayoshi's son Takahisa and others to receive government positions. He was initiated into the Kokinshu by his father Hisamichi, and studied the Tale of Genji. His waka and renga compositions also remain. His one-character name is "ume" (plum). His pen name is Keiun-in Kakuten Daien. There is also a theory that he was born in Bunki 3 (1503).

戦国時代の公家。父は近衛尚通。母は徳大寺実淳の娘維子。永正11(1514)年従三位の後,右大臣を経て関白を2度歴任。妹慶寿院が足利義晴に嫁していたこともあり,将軍家とは結び付きが深い。天文22(1553)年,三好長慶の入洛で足利義輝が京都を追われるとそれに従い,近江朽木に過ごす。永禄1(1558)年には義輝に娘を嫁がせている。天文期からは薩摩島津氏との交際もみられ,『島津家文書』には,稙家が島津忠良の作る「いろは歌」に奥書を加えたり,その子貴久らの受領,官途を斡旋したとの記述がみえる。父尚通から古今伝授を受け,『源氏物語』を学んだ。和歌や連歌の作品も残っている。一字名は「梅」。号は恵雲院覚天大円。なお生年を文亀3(1503)年とする説もある。
