In the early seventeenth century, Konoe Nobutada (1565-1614), a main line descendent of the most powerful of these families, the Fujiwara, and one of the most influential members of the court, contributed to Japanese art history by re-evaluating the art of his ancestors and establishing fresh approaches to long-established themes.
If we look at the Konoe family, for instance, although there were certainly peaks and nadirs in their level of influence, it remained culturally and, in many respects politically, active.
Nobutada, as a high-ranking member of the aristocracy and ancestor to members of the still politically active Konoe family, was not someone to be treated lightly.
