Inaba Masamichi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- In this Japanese name, the family name is Inaba.
Inaba Masamichi (稲葉正通?), 1623-1696, was a daimyo in Japan during the Edo period.[1] Masamichi's family is descended from Masanari, a younger son of Konō Michitaka, daimyō from Mino province who had been a vassal of Oda Nobunaga and later Toyotomi Hideyoshi.[2] Masamichi's domain was Odawara until 1686, when the shogunate severed his relationship with this location in order to transfer the Inaba to another land holding.[3] Masamichi and his descendants lived at Takata in Echigo province until 1701, when the shogunate moved the Inaba to Shimōsa province.[2]
In the Edo period, the Makino were identified as one of the fudai or insider daimyō clans which were hereditary vassels or allies of the Tokugawa clan, in contrast with the tozama or outsider clans.[4]

[edit] Inaba clan genalogy
The fudai Inaba clan originated in Mino province.[4] They claim descent from Kōno Michitaka (d. 1374),[2] who claimed descent from Emperor Kammu (736–805).[5]
Masamichi was part of the cadet branch of the Inaba which was created in 1588.[4] This branch is descended from Inaba Masanari (+1628), who fought in the armies of Nobunaga and then Hideyoshi.[2]
In 1619, Masanari was granted the han of Itoigawa (25,000 koku) in Echigo Domain; then, in 1627, his holding was transferred to Mōka Domain (65,000 koku) in Shimotsuke province. Masanari's descendants resided successively at Odawara Domain (105,000 koku) in Sagami province from 1632 through 1685; at Takata Domain in Echigo province from 1685 through 1701; at Sakura Domain in Shimōsa province from 1701 through 1723.[2]
Masamichi's heirs and others who were also descendants of Inaba Masanari settled at Yodo Domain (115,000 koku) in Yamashiro province from 1723 through 1868.[4]
The head of this clan line was ennobled as a "Viscount" in the Meiji period.[2]
[edit] Tokugawa official
Masamichi was the Tokugawa shogunate's Kyoto shoshidai in the period spanning December 24, 1681 through October 19, 1686.[1]
His cousin, Inaba Masayasu, served as a wakadoshiyori in Edo. Masayasu visited Kyoto as part of a formal inspection in 1683.[6]
