Born inKyoto, Sanjō was the son ofNaidaijinSanjō Sanetsumu. He held several important posts in Court and became a central figure in the anti-Western, anti-Tokugawasonnō jōi ("Revere the Emperor, Expel the Barbarian") movement.
When the coup d'état of September 30, 1863, brought the more moderateAizu andSatsuma factions into power, he fled toChōshū. He returned to Kyoto after the resignation ofshōgunTokugawa Yoshinobu in 1867.
The first administrative offices (Sanshoku) of theMeiji government were established on January 3, 1868: theSōsai (President),Gijō (Administration) andSan'yo (Office of Councilors). These offices were abolished on June 11, 1868, with the establishment of theDajō-kan (Grand Council of State). In the new Meiji government, Sanjō was head of theGijo,Minister of the Right (右大臣) (June 11, 1868 – August 15, 1871), and Chancellor of the Realm (Dajō-daijin) (August 15, 1871 – December 22, 1885).
Sanjō was awarded Grand Cordon of the SupremeOrder of the Chrysanthemum in 1882. On July 7, 1884, his title was changed to that ofkoshaku (prince) under thekazoku peerage system.
Sanjō served until the abolition of thedajōkan system in 1885. After the Cabinet system was established, he becameLord Keeper of the Privy Seal of Japan.
In 1889, whenPrime MinisterKuroda Kiyotaka and his cabinet resigned en masse,Emperor Meiji only accepted Kuroda's resignation and formally invited Sanjō to head the government. The Emperor refused to appoint a new prime minister for the next two months, making Sanjō the onlyPrime Minister of Japan (albeit interim) who also concurrently held the post of Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal.[1]
In 1890, he assumed a seat in the newHouse of Peers in theDiet of Japan established by theMeiji Constitution. On his death in 1891, he was accorded astate funeral. His grave is at the temple ofGokoku-ji inBunkyō, Tokyo.
