was a government position in Japan in the late Nara and Heian periods. The position was consolidated in the Taihō Code of 702. The Asuka Kiyomihara Code of 689 marks the initial appearance of the ''sadaijin'' in the context of a central administrative body called the ''Daijō-kan''〔 (Council of State). This early Daijō-kan was composed of the three ministers—the ''daijō-daijin'' (Chancellor), the ''sadaijin'' and the ''udaijin'' (Minister of the Right).〔Hall, John Whitney ''et al.'' (1993). ( ''The Cambridge History of Japan,'' p. 232. )〕 The ''sadaijin'' was the Senior Minister of State, overseeing all functions of government with the ''udaijin'' as his deputy〔''Shin-meikai-kokugo-jiten'',Sanseido Co., Ltd. Tokyo 1974〕 Within the ''Daijō-kan'', the ''sadaijin'' was second only to the ''daijō-daijin'' (the Great Minister, or Chancellor of the Realm) in power and influence. Frequently, a member of the Fujiwara family would take the position in order to help justify and exercise the power and influence the family held. The post of ''sadaijin'', along with the rest of the ''Daijō-kan'' structure, gradually lost power over the 10th and 11th centuries, as the Fujiwara came to dominate politics more and more. The system was essentially powerless by the end of the 12th century, when the Minamoto, a warrior clan, seized control of the country from the court aristocracy (''kuge''). However, it is not entirely clear when the ''Daijō-kan'' system was formally dismantled prior to the Meiji era. * Daijō-kan * Kugyō * Sessho and Kampaku * List of Daijō-daijin * Kōkyū * Kuge * Imperial Household Agency ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sadaijin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
