*''Japanese'': [[細川]]家 ''(Hosokawa-ke)''

The Hosokawa were descended from [[Ashikaga Yoshiyasu]] ([[1126]]-[[1157]]), whose great-grandson [[Ashikaga Yoshisue]] took the name Hosokawa. Yoshisue's own great-grandson [[Hosokawa Yoriharu|Yoriharu]] ([[1299]]-[[1352]]) was a staunch supporter of [[Ashikaga Takauji]] during the early [[Nanbokucho Period|Nanbokuchô period]]. As a result the Hosokawa became influential under the [[Ashikaga clan|Ashikaga]] [[Shogun|shôguns]] as a powerful ''[[shugo]]'' family. [[Hosokawa Yoriyuki]] ([[1329]]-[[1392]]) served as the first ''[[kanrei]]'' (Deputy/Vice-shôgun) and acted as guardian and counsel to [[Ashikaga Yoshimitsu]]. [[Hosokawa Katsumoto]] ([[1430]]-[[1473]]) was one of the most powerful figures in [[Kyoto]] politics in his day and ''shugo'' of much of [[Shikoku]] Island. In part as a result of a succession dispute surrounding Shôgun [[Ashikaga Yoshimasa]], Katsumoto and [[Yamana Mochitoyo]], another powerful ''shugo'', became involved in a conflict that consumed Kyoto and would become known as the [[Onin War|Ônin War]] ([[1467]]-[[1477|77]]). In the aftermath of this struggle, which is often marked as the opening of the [[Sengoku Period]], the Hosokawa managed to retain their hold on Kyoto into the 16th century. Internal struggles and the rise of the [[Miyoshi clan|Miyoshi]], formerly Hosokawa retainers, led to the eclipse of the Hosokawa by [[1550]]. One branch of the family survived to much success under [[Hosokawa Fujitaka]] and his son [[Hosokawa Tadaoki|Tadaoki]]. Thanks to their efforts, the Hosokawa family would endure as ''daimyô'' of [[Kumamoto han]] to the end of the [[Edo Period]].

In the [[Meiji period]], the head of the Hosokawa family was named a Marquis (''kôshaku'') in the new ''[[kazoku]]'' aristocracy, and held a seat in the [[House of Peers]]. The family's private collections, including a wealth of historical documents, artworks, arms & armor, and other artifacts, are today managed as the [[Eisei Bunko]].
