The Ichijō family (一条家, Ichijō-ke) was a Japanese aristocratic kin group.
[1] [3][4] The Tosa-Ichijō clan (土佐一条氏), a cadet branch of the Ichijō family, was established during the chaos of Ōnin War.
In 1475, Ichijō Norifusa, the 9th head of the family, fled from Kyoto to Tosa Province, where one of the fiefdoms the family held by the time;[5] some descendants of Norifusa stayed in Tosa for generations.
The family, however, eventually lost control of Tosa during the reign of Ichijō Kanesada since 1575.
[7][8][9] Baron Ichijō Sanemoto later married a British woman, Tess Snare (1900-1982), in 1928.
