Fujiwara princes initially served as highest ministers of the imperial Court (kampaku) and regents (sesshō) for underage monarchs.
Fujiwara no Yorinaga sided with the retired emperor in a violent battle in 1158 against the heir apparent, who was supported by the Taira and Minamoto.

 Gerald Peary - essays - Chris Fujiwara
In fact, Fujiwara seems kindred in spirit to the French-born filmmaker Tourneur, who was shy and self-effacing, and perhaps too decent a person to shove himself into the studio spotlight.
Crisscrossing America, Fujiwara watched everything he could locate in archives, from Tourneur's short fiction films for MGM in the 1930s to expert westerns such as Canyon Passage (1946), from AIP quickies such as The Comedy of Terrrors to late-career televison assignments such as Night Call (1963), a legendaryTwilight Zone.
Fujiwara's next book project, to be co-authored by A. Scott Hamrah, is an alternative history of cinema, a corrective to stultefied canons such as the AFI Hundred Greatest American Movies as to what are filmic masterpieces.

 Wilson on Fujiwara/Tourneur
Fujiwara has at last provided a much needed critical study of the director whose consistent atmospheric style is noticeable to those familiar with his work.
Fujiwara writes: 'An extreme attention to detail, particularly of lighting and decor, a naturalistic acting style, and a love of unusual and striking scenic effects are features that characterize the work of both men.' (18) Jacques Tourneur's career is then considered in two biographical chapters that separately cover his film career in Europe and America.
Fujiwara, in his book _Jacques Tourneur: The Cinema of Nightfall_ has contributed a long overdue journey into the labyrinth of Tourneur's films, and has shed some invaluable light on this auteur of darkness.

 Samurai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This chief was typically a distant relative of the emperor, and a lesser member of one of three noble families (the Fujiwara, Minamoto, or the Taira).
The social mobility of human resources was flexible, as the ancient regime collapsed and emerging samurai needed to maintain large military and administrative organizations in their areas of influence.
Most of the samurai families that survived to the 19th century originated in this era declaring themselves to be the blood of one of the four ancient noble clans, Minamoto, Taira, Fujiwara and Tachibana.
