[[File:Sanjosanetomi-poem.jpg|right|thumb|320px|A Chinese-style poem in calligraphy by Sanjô Sanetomi, held today at the [[Tokyo National Museum]]]]
*''Born: [[1837]]''
*''Died: [[1891]]''
*''Japanese'': [[三条]]実美 ''(Sanjou Sanetomi)''
Sanjô Sanetomi was a top-ranking official in both the [[Bakumatsu]] era [[Tokugawa shogunate]] and in the [[Meiji government]], who played a prominent role in connections with [[Choshu han|Chôshû han]] and the [[tobaku|toppling of the shogunate]]. In the [[Meiji period]], he served as ''[[Dajo daijin|Dajô daijin]]'' and as [[Naidaijin]].
In [[1863]], Sanetomi was one of seven [[kuge|court nobles]] expelled from Kyoto, in an event known as the [[Fall of Seven Nobles Incident]], after being discovered plotting against the shogunate's efforts to unite the shogunate with the [[Imperial family]] & Court. The seven made their way at that time to Chôshû, where they met up with fellow anti-shogunate rebels.
Sanetomi is buried at [[Gokoku-ji (Tokyo)|Gokoku-ji]]. The Imperial Court commissioned [[Tanaka Yubi|Tanaka Yûbi]] to paint a series of scroll paintings in [[1900]] depicting the great events of the life of Sanetomi; Yûbi produced similar scroll sets for the lives of Sanetomi's father [[Sanjo Sanetsumu|Sanjô Sanetsumu]], and [[Iwakura Tomomi]]. These beautiful scrolls remain today in the Imperial collections, and serve as a lionization of these figures as heroes of the Meiji nation.<ref>Gallery labels, "[http://www.kunaicho.go.jp/event/sannomaru/tenrankai66.html The two people who supported Emperor Meiji - Sanjo Sanetomi and Iwakura Tomomi - an account of the late Edo period to the Meiji Restoration in biographical picture scrolls]," The Museum of the Imperial Collections, [[Sannomaru Shozokan|Sannomaru Shôzôkan]], September 2014.</ref> Similarly, [[Nashinoki Shrine]], located on the former grounds of the [[Sanjo family|Sanjô family]] mansion just outside the [[Kyoto Imperial Palace]], was re-dedicated in 1915 to the spirits of Sanetomi and his father.<ref>Plaques on-site at Nashinoki Shrine.</ref>
