Shijō
The Shijō were a court noble family descended from the northern Fujiwara. Their name came from the Kyoto residence of Fujiwara no Takasue at Shijō Ōmiya in the late Heian period.
Shijō Takasuke served Emperor Go-Daigo and joined him at Yoshino in 1336. A leading Southern Court official, he was killed fighting Ashikaga forces during a retreat from Otokoyama in 1352; his son Takatoshi continued to serve the Southern Court.
