*''Japanese'': 二条家 ''(Nijou-ke)''

The Nijô family was one of the ''[[Gosekke]]'', the top five most powerful ''[[kuge]]'' families. It was a branch family of the [[Northern Fujiwara]], tracing its descent from [[Nijo Yoshizane|Kujô Yoshizane]], second son of [[Kujo Michiie|Kujô Michiie]].

Following the [[Jokyu Disturbance|Jôkyû Disturbance]] ([[1221]]), Kujô Michiie, son-in-law of [[Saionji Kintsune]], was appointed ''[[sessho|sesshô]]/[[kanpaku]]'', and then his sons [[Kujo Norizane|Norizane]], [[Nijo Yoshizane|Yoshizane]], and [[Ichijo Sanetsune|Sanetsune]] served as ''sesshô'' after him. Yoshizane became the founder (progenitor) of the Nijô family, while Sanetsune was the first of the [[Ichijo family|Ichijô family]].

Along with the other ''Gosekke'' regent families, the Nijô maintained a mansion just south of the [[Heian Imperial Palace]].
