Answer 1

The Japanese imperial court system allowed the Fujiwara family to gain power and influence by marrying their daughters into the imperial family and securing key government positions for their male relatives. This system of intermarriage and political maneuvering allowed the Fujiwara family to control the government from behind the scenes for several centuries.
