The Fujiwara married many of their young daughter into the royal family. They also acted as advisors to the emperor.
Major noble families like the Soga, Fujiwara, and Taira from the early Imperial eras of Japanese history controlled the Imperial court in several ways. The primary means was marrying their daughters into the Imperial family. They would then exercise control through their grandchildren by acting as their regents, referred to by the titles of Sesshō and Kampaku.
They kept on marrying into Imperial families, thus making sure a Fujiwara was always sitting on the throne. They were also regents who helped each other gain more land.

The three major land-owning families in Japan during the feudal period were the Fujiwara, the Taira, and the Minamoto clans. The Fujiwara clan held significant political power through regents and intermarriage with the imperial family. The Taira and Minamoto clans were prominent warrior families that played key roles in the Genpei War, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate by the Minamoto clan. These families significantly influenced Japan's political landscape and its transition from imperial rule to military governance.

During the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the Fujiwara clan initially maintained significant power through strategic marriages and political maneuvering, effectively controlling the imperial court. However, as military conflicts escalated, especially with the rise of the Minamoto and Taira clans, the Fujiwara's influence waned. The Minamoto clan gained prominence by leveraging military strength, culminating in the Genpei War (1180-1185), while the Taira clan initially dominated but ultimately fell to the Minamoto in this conflict. By the end of the twelfth century, the Minamoto established the Kamakura shogunate, marking a shift in power from aristocratic families to warrior clans.
