List of Kuge families include the high level bureaucrats and nobles (kuge) in the Japanese Imperial court.[1] This list is based on the lineage of the family (the clan from which the family derives, such as the Minamoto, Fujiwara, or Taira) and the kakaku (家格 [ja], rank). The kuge along with the daimyō made up the nobility (kazoku) of post-Meiji Restoration Japan. The kazoku was abolished shortly after World War II.
The kakaku consists of six ranks, from highest to lowest, they are Sekke (摂家), Seigake [ja] (清華家), Daijinke [ja] (大臣家), Urinke [ja] (羽林家), Meike [ja] (名家), and Hanke [ja] (半家).
