Other than the division into Toshoke and Jigeke, there were other divisions of families into Kyuka (families with a long family genealogy) and Shinke (families established during the Edo period); however, during the reign of Emperor Sakuramachi (1735-1747), it was forbidden to establish a new family without permission.
なお、堂上家と同様旧家・新家の区分があったが、桜町天皇（在位1735年-1747年）の時代にみだりに新家を立てることが停止された。
