Kawachi Genji

Kawachi Genji

The Kawachi Genji (河内源氏) were members of a family line within that of the Seiwa Genji, which in turn was one of several branches of the Minamoto clan, one the most famous noble clans in Japanese history. Descended from Minamoto no Yorinobu (968-1048), the Kawachi Genji included Minamoto no Yoshiie (1041-1108), who fought in the Zenkunen War and Gosannen War, and common ancestor of nearly all the major Minamoto generals of the Genpei War from which the Minamoto are famous.
