Nakanoin family

A family of the Murakami Genji. In the early Kamakura period, Michikata, the fifth son of Michichika, the fifth-generation grandson of Morofusa, the grandson of Emperor Murakami who was given the Minamoto surname, branched off and became the founder of the Nakain family. His son Michinari became the Minister of the Interior, and the Nakain family became a ministerial family with the Minister of the Interior as its highest official. From Michihide in the Muromachi period to Michimi in the mid-Edo period, the family received the Kokin Tenju teachings for successive generations, and was known as a family of scholars. Along with Michihide, Michikatsu and Michimura were particularly famous as scholars. As Michimura's mother was the daughter of Hosokawa Yusai, there were many marriages with samurai families in the early modern period. In the late early modern period, he was not blessed with a son, so he adopted a son from the Kuze family and other families. His stipend in the early modern period was initially 300 koku, but later increased to 500 koku. After the Meiji Restoration, he was ranked in the nobility and given the title of count.

村上源氏(むらかみげんじ)の一家。村上天皇の孫で源姓を賜った師房(もろふさ)の5世の孫通親(みちちか)の五男通方(みちかた)が、鎌倉初期に分家して中院家の祖となった。その子通成(みちなり)は内大臣(ないだいじん)となり、以後中院家は内大臣を極官(ごっかん)とする大臣家となった。室町時代の通秀(みちひで)から江戸中期の通躬(みちみ)までは、代々古今(こきん)伝授を受け、学問の家として知られた。とくに通秀とともに通勝(みちかつ)、通村(みちむら)が学者として有名である。通村の母が細川幽斎(ほそかわゆうさい)の娘であることから、近世では武家との縁組が多い。近世後期には男子に恵まれず、久世(くぜ)家などから養嗣子(ようしし)を迎えた。近世の知行高(ちぎょうだか)は初め300石、のちに500石となった。明治維新後、華族に列し伯爵を授けられた。
