Kujō Michiie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kujō Michiie (1193-1252) was a Japanese regent in the 13th century. He was the father of Kujō Yoritsune and grandson of Kujō Kanezane (also known as Fujiwara no Kanezane). The Kujō family were sponsors of the Kitano Shrine.
In 1219, Kujō Michiie offered an emakimono named "Kitano Tenjin Engi Emaki" (Illustrated Scroll of the History of the Kitano Shrine) to the Kitano shrine. He gave an enlarged version of the history to the Kitano shrine in 1223.
In 1226, Michiie managed to have his son Yoritsune appointed fourth shogun of the Kamakura shogunate.
