He was appointed Minister of the Imperial Household in 1069. Although he expected to be appointed Kampaku (Adviser to the Emperor), Morozane Fujiwara won the position. He obtained the coveted position, however, in 1080 in the reign of Emperor Shirakawa. But because Morozane was still in a Higher position, Nobunaga was enraged and burned on the street the carriage which he used to attend the Court and confined himself to his residence.
He was variously called Kujo-dono or Jokoji-dono.
