Mikohidari family

Japanese: 御子左家 - みこひだりけ
Mikohidari family

The name of the family lineage whose ancestor was Gon Dainagon Nagaie, the sixth son of Fujiwara no Michinaga, the Mido Kanpaku. Nagaie inherited the residence of the Left Minister Prince Kaneakira, the son of Emperor Daigo. After Shunzei, who rivaled Kiyosuke and Kensho of the Rokujo family in the late Heian period, Teika and Tameie successively became imperial anthologists and central leaders in the world of waka poetry, establishing the authority of the Mikohidari family as waka masters. Tameie's descendants were split into three families, the Nijo, Kyogoku, and Reizei families, but the Nijo family, the main line, took on the name "Mikohidari" after Tamemasa during the Nanboku-cho period to give themselves authority, and the use of this name dating back to the time of Shunzei and Teika is a convenient title that was only used in modern times.

Japanese:

御堂(みどう)関白藤原道長の六男の権大納言(ごんだいなごん)長家を祖とする家系の称。長家が醍醐(だいご)天皇の御子大臣兼明(かねあきら)親王邸を伝領したことによる。平安末期に六条家の清輔(きよすけ)・顕昭(けんしょう)に拮抗(きっこう)した俊成(しゅんぜい)以降、定家(ていか)・為家(ためいえ)と連続して勅撰(ちょくせん)集撰者となり歌壇の中心的指導者となったところから、歌道師範家としての「御子左家」の権威が確立した。為家の子孫は二条、京極(きょうごく)、冷泉(れいぜい)の三家に分立したが、嫡流の二条家が南北朝期の為定以降権威づけに「御子左」を名のったもので、俊成・定家の代にさかのぼって用いるのは近代に入ってからの便宜的呼称である。
