 Bambooweb: Heian Period
As early as 939, Taira no Masakado threatened the authority of the central government, leading an uprising in the eastern province of Hitachi, and almost simultaneously, Fujiwara no Sumitomo rebelled in the west.
Rather than being banished, the Fujiwara were mostly retained in their old positions of civil dictator and minister of the center while being bypassed in decision making.
In the end, the Fujiwara were destroyed, the old system of government supplanted, and the insei system left powerless as bushi took control of court affairs, marking a turning point in Japanese history.

In Nakatomi no Yogoto (Congratulatory Words of the Nakatomi) performed at the enthronement ceremony of Konoe Tennô in 1142 and recorded in the Taiki, the diary of Fujiwara no Yorinaga (1120-1156), there is a mythological account of divine instructions for the Nakatomi to obtain sacred water for the sovereign’s meals at the Daijôsai.

Or, as in the case of Toshiko, who, in her early twenties, lived together with her female lover [koibito] in the late 1960s, 'Our mothers were disturbed by our relationship and seemed to have the attitude that this sickness would pass after some time' (Toshiko).
In fact, arguably, it is the femme who has the greater possibility to receive the social advantage (if one argues that invisibility is a benefit), by replicating the performance of gender(ed) norms, thus not drawing attention or disdain to her outward appearance or behaviour.
Japanese mothers are supposed to throw aside their careers, no matter how promising, as soon as they have children.

After a political and military conflict with his father, Tadazane (1078–1162), and his brother Yorinaga (1120–56), which also included the issue of succession to the throne, Tadamichi emerged triumphant and served as regent for 38 years near the end of the Heian era (794–1185).
When he was taken by his father at the age of six for an audience with Emperor Horikawa (reg 1087–1107), he is said to have been given a calligraphy textbook by ONO NO MICHIKAZE, one of the Sanseki (‘three brush traces’; Three Masters) of calligraphy of the early Heian period.
Tadamichi based his style on that of (2) Fujiwara no Kozei, another of the Sanseki, but developed a more deliberate, vigorous, stronger stroke, less elegant and smooth than the styles of the early Heian-period court calligraphers, and more appropriate to the tastes of the warrior classes, which were then in the ascendancy.
