In the Kugyō section:

............................................... lifetime, 773-843
.... time in office (832-843)

  • Sadaijin (832-843), Fujiwara Otsugu　(藤原緒嗣), 773-843　[1]
  • Sadaijin, Minamoto Tokiwa　(源常),　844-854[2]
  • Udaijin, Kiyohara Natsuno　(清原夏野),　832-837[3]

In the intial edit, I intended to present the dates during which someone held a specific court title, but that now seems too ambitious for a start-level article. The intention had been to explain the sequence of serial officeholders with these dates.

Instead, it's probably better to simply list the birth/death dates. Arguably, it might be possible (or even preferable) to include both sets of dates as the information becomes available ...? --Ooperhoofd 17:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
