Key Information

Inaba Masanari (稲葉 正成; 1571 – October 14, 1628), also known as Inaba Masashige[1] and sometimes known as Mino-no-kami,[2] was a Japanese samurai of the Azuchi–Momoyama period through early Edo period. He served the Oda, Toyotomi, and Tokugawa clans, and became a daimyō in the early Edo period.

Masanari was the husband of Kasuga-no-Tsubone,[3] who bore him three sons: Masakatsu, Masasada, and Masatoshi.[4] For some reason, Masanari divorced her; and she then became wet-nurse to Tokugawa Hidetada's eldest son. Though Masanari and Kasuga divorced, they still maintained a good relationship as parents to their children.[5] One of Masanari's grandsons, Inaba Masayasu (1640–1684), is primarily remembered as the enigmatic wakadoshiyori assassin of tairō Hotta Masatoshi.[6]

In the Edo period, the Inaba were identified as one of the fudai or insider daimyō clans which were hereditary vassals or allies of the Tokugawa clan,[7] as opposed to the tozama or outsider clans.

Inaba clan branches

[edit]

The fudai Inaba clan originated in 16th century Mino Province.[8] They claimed descent from Kōno Michitaka (d. 1374),[9] who claimed descent from Emperor Kanmu (736–805).[10]

A cadet branch was descended from Inaba Masanari (+1628[clarification needed]), who fought in the armies of Nobunaga and then Hideyoshi.[9] This branch of the Inaba was created in 1588.[8] In 1619, he was granted the han of Itoigawa (25,000 koku) in Echigo Province; then, in 1627, his holding was transferred to Mōka Domain (65,000 koku) in Shimotsuke Province. His descendants resided successively in Odawara Domain (105,000 koku) in Sagami Province from 1632 through 1685; om Takata Domain in Echigo province from 1685 through 1701; in Sakura Domain in Shimōsa Province from 1701 through 1723.[9] Masanari's heirs settled in Yodo Domain (115,000 koku) in Yamashiro Province from 1723 through 1868.[8]

The head of this clan line was ennobled as a "viscount" in the Meiji period.[9]
