	Science Fair Projects - Fujiwara family
		Fujiwara no Fuhito, the son and heir of Kamatari was prominent at the court of several emperors and empresses.
		During Heian periods of Japanese history, the Fujiwara clan, precisely Fujiwara Hokke managed to establish a hereditary claim to the position of regent, either for an underage emperor (Sessho) or for an adult one (Kampaku).
		Lesser members of the Fujiwara were court nobles, provincial governors and vice governors, members of the provincial aristocracy, and samurai.

	fujiwara family tree
		Kamatari's son, Fuhito (659-720), had been a leading statesman in his day, and the Emperor Shomu was his grandson, but the family's fortunes received a sudden check when Fuhito's four sons died in a smallpox epidemic in 737.
		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.
		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.

		Fujiwara was a member of director Akira Kurosawa's stock company, first appearing in this capacity as the assistant to dying bureaucrat Takashi Shimura in Ikiru (1952).
		In most of his films, the very able Kamatari Fujiwara tended to be overshadowed by more charismatic actors like Shimura and Toshiro Mifune, but he was always dedicated and unwaveringly professional.

	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.

		This post allowed the Fujiwara family to dominate the Japanese government for more than three centuries.
		With a firm grip on the regency, the Fujiwara had seemingly gone as far as they could to become the de facto rulers without actually destroying or displacing the Imperial family.

		The film opens with two peasants, Matashichi (Kamatari Fujiwara) and Tahei (Minoru Chiaki) cursing their bad luck in trying to win a fortune.
		In particular, there is a duel between Makabe and his nemesis, the samurai Hyoe Tadokoro (Misa Uehara) that is one of the most intense I have ever seen.
		The film is also blessed with endearing performances from Minoru Chiaki and Kamatari Fujiwara as the two peasants.

		In the beginning Tahei (Minoru Chiaki) and Matashichi (Kamatari Fujiwara) are returning from grave digging duties following a war, and cut each other down for stinking from the dead corpses—“shitworm” stands as a favorite.
		These two also bring John Ford films to mind as well since Kurosawa is well known for borrowing elements of his classic westerns—from the use of comic characters to the camerawork to the narrative structure itself.
		Never overplaying his samurai character, often moving in slow motion and demonstrating “honor” with stoic acceptance—especially notable in a scene where he informs the Princess and her family of his sister’s sacrifice on her behalf.
