Ogasawara Nagashige

Ogasawara Nagashige (小笠原 長重, June 5, 1650 – September 19, 1732), also known as Sado-no-kami or Etchū-no-kami, was a Japanese samurai daimyō of the mid-Edo period.[1]

In this Japanese name, the surname is Ogasawara.

The Ogasawara were identified as one of the fudai or insider daimyō clans which were hereditary vassals or allies of the Tokugawa,[2] in contrast with the tozama or outsider clans.

Shogunate official

Nagashige served the Tokugawa shogunate as its eleventh Kyoto shoshidai in the period spanning October 17, 1691, through May 15, 1702.[3] He had previously been shogunate's magistrate or overseer of the country's temples and shrines (jisha-bugyō) from Genroku 3, the 3rd day of the 12th month, through Genroku 4, the 26th day of the 4th month (1691).[1]

He was responsible for bringing Yamada Sōhen, a disciple of Sen Sōtan, to Edo to promulgate the practice of the Japanese tea ceremony.[4]
