The Fujiwara Clan




Here is a map of my clan's history. Starting with the founder and ending with my great ancestors! I am so happy to be part of the most powerful family in Japan. Everybody knows everyone and I am basically royalty. We "dominated" the government from 794 to 1160. It is so amazing. We started the first Shogunate in 1192. Basically, "we run this joint." Our regency was the centerpiece of the Heian Era. Aside from us, the Taira and the Minamoto clans were powerful as well, but we were the best.

Without us, there would be no Shogun, or Shogunate. So basically without us Japan would not be well off. With the Emperor being a figure head. YAY!
