List of Kuge families

The List of Kuge families were the high level bureaucrats and nobles (kuge) in the Japanese Imperial court. This list is based on the lineage of the family (the clan from which the family derives, such as the Fujiwara, Minamoto, or Taira) and the kakaku (rank). The kuge along with the daimyō made up the nobility (kazoku) of post-Meiji Restoration Japan. The kazoku was abolished shortly after World War II.

The Fujiwara four families (藤原四家) were branches established by the four sons of Fujiwara no Fuhito
