of the Emperor of Japan in pre-Meiji eras. Even during those years in which the court's actual influence outside the palace walls was minimal, the hierarchic organization persisted. In general, this elite group included only three to four men at a time. These were hereditary courtiers whose experience and background would have brought them to the pinnacle of a life's career. During Nijō's reign, this apex of the Daijō-kan included: Kampaku, Nijō Kanemoto, 1300–1305 Kampaku, Kujō Moronori, 1305–1308 Sadaijin Udaijin Nadaijin Dainagon Eras of Go-Nijō's reign The years of Go-Nijō's reign are more specifically identified by more than one era name or nengō.
