History edit

The family name Nijō derived from Yoshizane's residence in Kyoto, where is believed to locate between two roads, the south of "Nijō-Ōji" (二条大路) and the east of "Higashi no Tōin-Ōji" (東洞院大路).[3] As of the Muromachi and Edo period, Nijō family had a relative close relationship comparing with other four regent houses, and the leaders of the Nijō were given names (henki, 偏諱) from that of incumbent shōguns'.[4] Nijō Nariyuki, the last Sesshō and Kampaku, regent from the Fujiwara clan, also came from this family.[5]

In 1526, Tominokōji Sukenao (富小路資直, d. 1535) was promoted to the rank dōjō (堂上) of Kuge, and the ancestor of the Tominokōji family, Tominokōji Michinao (富小路道直), was claimed to be a son of Nijō Michihira.[6]
