Fujiwara no Sanesuke - Fujiwara no Sanesuke

A nobleman in the mid-Heian period. He was the third son of Councillor Tadatoshi. His mother was the daughter of Harima no Kami Fujiwara no Tadafumi. He was adopted by his grandfather Saneyori and inherited the main residence, Ononomiya, and other huge assets, and was called Goononomiya. In 981 (Tengen 4), he became Kurodo no To, and after serving as Councillor, Chunagon, and Dainagon, he was promoted to Minister of the Right in 1021 (Jinji 1) and to Juichii in 1037 (Choureki 1). He died on January 18, 1261 (Kantoku 3). He was intelligent and was called the wise minister of state. He inherited the tradition from his grandfather and was well versed in court customs. In "Zokuhonchoojoden" he is listed as one of the most outstanding court nobles of the Ichijo era. During the heyday of Fujiwara Michinaga, as the direct descendant of the Ononomiya family that began with Saneyori, he considered himself an equal with Michinaga, the grandson of Saneyori's younger brother Morosuke, and did not easily give in to him. However, he did not oppose Michinaga himself, but rather opposed his interference with the Imperial Court, such as in 1012 (Chowa 1), when Michinaga tried to obstruct the enthronement of Emperor Sanjo's consort, Nyogo Seishi, as empress. He was a man of principle who respected the Imperial Court. He left behind a diary, "Shoyuki," and a court customs book, "Ononomiya Nenchu ​​Gyoji."

平安中期の公卿(くぎょう)。参議斉敏(ただとし)の三男。母は播磨守(はりまのかみ)藤原尹文の女(むすめ)。祖父実頼(さねより)の養子となり、本邸の小野宮(おののみや)ほかの莫大(ばくだい)な財産を継ぎ、後小野宮殿(のちのおののみやどの)などとよばれた。981年（天元4）蔵人頭(くろうどのとう)となり、参議、中納言(ちゅうなごん)、大納言を経て1021年（治安1）右大臣、37年（長暦1）従(じゅ)一位に上り、寛徳(かんとく)3年正月18日没した。頭がよく賢人右府とよばれ、祖父以来の伝統を継承して有職故実(ゆうそくこじつ)に詳しく、『続本朝往生伝(ぞくほんちょうおうじょうでん)』には一条朝の秀(すぐ)れた公卿の筆頭にあげられている。藤原道長(みちなが)全盛期にあって、実頼に始まる小野宮家の嫡流として、実頼の弟師輔(もろすけ)の孫である道長と対等の意識をもち、安易に迎合しなかった。ただし道長その人と対立するのではなく、1012年（長和1）の道長による三条天皇女御(にょうご)娍子(せいし)の立后妨害のような横車には対抗するという、朝廷を重んじて筋を通す考え方であった。日記『小右記(しょうゆうき)』、有職故実書『小野宮年中行事』を残した。
