The Fujiwara clan in Japan during the Heian period (794-1185) gained their power and influence through strategic marriages, political alliances, and their role as regents to the imperial family. They married their sons and daughters to members of the imperial family, allowing them to exert significant control over the imperial court. This practice, known as "Sekkan," helped the Fujiwara clan consolidate power and establish themselves as the dominant political force in Japan for several centuries.
