Draft:Kadenokōji family

Comment: Note: This draft started from a complete copy of Onmyōji as it has a lot of redlinks with claims I want to keep. I will trim down into just the claim on an individual thing laterImmanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 01:44, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Kadenokōji family [ja] is an Onmyōji family named after the street in Kyoto Kadenokōji [ja],^{[note 1]} where their residence was located.

The rise of samurai society and the fall of the official onmyōji edit

Of the two families that inherited onmyōdō, during the Northern and Southern courts period, the Kamo family took the name of the Kadenokōji family [ja] after Kadenokōji [ja],^{[note 2]} where their residence was located, and Kamo (Kadenokōji) Akikata was active in writing his own book "Rekirin Mondō Shū." However, in the middle of the Muromachi period, the successor to the head of the mainline Hōjo family was murdered, leading to the breakup of the family line and the gradual decline of the family's power. On the other hand, the Abe family was successful, and Abe no Ariyo [ja] (the 14th descendant of Abe no Seimei) took advantage of the patronage of the shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, to obtain a senior government position. The fact that onmyōji, who were feared and shunned in the court at the time because of their duties, became one of senior government positions was a groundbreaking event that caused a sensation. From the son of Abe no Ariyo, Abe no Arimori, to Abe no Arisue and Abe no Arinobu, successive generations were promoted to senior government positions, and the Abe family, originally a middle-class noble, rose to the status of hanke. In the generation of Abe no Arinobu (16th century), he seized the opportunity of the breakup of the Kadenokōji family to monopolize the duties related to both astrology and calendars for the next five generations. Since the residence of the head of the family had been located in Tsuchimikado after Abe no Ariyo, the Abe family changed its name to the Tsuchimikado family.^{[note 3]} The Tsuchimikado family had gained the support of both the Imperial court and Muromachi shogunate, and up to this point, it seemed to have perfected its power as an onmyōji.
