Maeda Gen'i

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In this Japanese name, the family name is "Maeda".

Maeda Gen'i (前田玄以, 1539 - July 9, 1602) was a Buddhist priest from Mt. Hiei, and later one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Go-Bugyō (Five Elders). He entered the service of Oda Nobunaga sometime before 1570.

Gen'i was appointed to be a deputy over Kyoto in 1582. After the death of Oda Nobunaga that same year, Gen'i went on to serve under Toyotomi Hideyoshi. At Takamai Domain in Tamba Province, Gen'i received a 50,000-koku fief. Ten years later, he was to lay the ground work for the Fushimi Castle. In 1595, Gen'i was named among the "Five Magistrates" by Hideyoshi. As a member of this council, Gen'i was "concerned with national affairs and subordinate only to Hideyoshi".^[1] In addition to managing a great deal of other affairs, Maeda also oversaw the reception of the likes of the Emperor and representatives of the Jesuits to Hideyoshi's Jurakudai palace.
