		Although the Fujiwara, as the chief owners of estates, were the richest and most powerful family in the whole country and completely dominated the emperors and the remaining machinery of the central government, they never made the slightest move to usurp the throne.
		Fujiwara no Mototsune (836-891), Yoshifusa's nephew and adoptive son established the new post of Kampaku in 887 to function as Emperor Koko's (830-887; r 884-887) spokesman even though the sovereign was already an adult.
		The Fujiwara family, which began with Kamatari, continued in later ages to be very closely associated with the imperial family, an association exemplified as recently as the time of the Second World War in the person of Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, the Konoe being a chief branch of the Fujiwara family.

		Shotoku’s reforms were continued by Prince Naka no Oe, later Emperor Tenji, and Nakatomi no Kamatari, founder of the Fujiwara family, who in 645 toppled the Soga clan and inaugurated the so-called Taika Reforms, aimed at strengthening the imperial house and weakening the uji.
		The Fujiwara monopolized most of the court and administrative offices, edging other families out of government, and controlled the imperial family by marrying their daughters to generation after generation of emperors, who were encouraged to retire early in favour of infant successors dominated by Fujiwara regents.
		The greatest of the Fujiwara leaders was Michinaga Fujiwara, whose five daughters married successive emperors, and who dominated the court from 995 to 1028.

		To mark this occasion, Kamatari was granted a new family name, Fujiwara, meaning "wisteria grove" in reference to the place where he and Naka no Oue had plotted together.
		The Fujiwara, of course, went on to become arguably the most powerful family in Japanese history, maintaining control over the imperial court until the end of the Heian Period in 1185, over 500 years after Kamatari's coup.
		Kamatari's son was a Buddhist priest, in fact, so you could say that Buddhism got there first.

	E-Budo.com - Bujutsu and the Fujiwara Family
		Seeing as how Fujiwara no Kamatari (the original Fujiwara) was originally Nakatomi no Kamatari, it leads me to believe he was in possession- or at least informed of the Amatsu Tatara Nakatomi Hibumi.
		The only basis I have to go on in the connection between the family and the Nakatomi Shinden Tenshin Hyoho and the fact that Fujiwara (Nakatomi) no Kamatari was given a copy of the Amatsu scrolls by the 38th (I think?) Emperor.
		I do know his grandfather was Fujiwara no Hidesato of Taira no Masakado fame, so with luck from the heavens I hope that will give me some leads into tracing out this family's complex history a bit more.
