Biography

Yonekura Masanori was born as the 9th son of Mizuno Kadakane, daimyō of Karatsu Domain in Hizen Province. In January 1803, he was adopted to be heir to the 5th daimyō of Mutsuura Domain (Yonekura Masayoshi), and was confirmed to that position in an audience with Shōgun Tokugawa Ienari in March of the same year. Yonekura Masayoshi then claimed illness, and retired on June 15, surrendering his title and official positions.

As daimyō, Masanori was assigned to several ceremonial postings as guard of various gates to Edo Castle. In August 1811, he was dismissed from his post as magistrate in Osaka for incompetence, and died of a sudden illness on April 18, 1812. However, there is some uncertainty to this date, and the term ‘sudden illness’ was often an official euphemism for seppuku.

Masanaga had six sons and two daughters his official wife, a daughter of Matsudaira Tadatsuku, daimyō of Anegasaki Domain, but died childless.

gollark: Well, you don't want a government which entirely ignores large companies or also small companies.
gollark: I mean, alternatively, it's the art of paying people to agree with things somewhat more.
gollark: Lobbying somewhat problematic but probably unavoidable and I think you could help a bit by reducing government powers.
gollark: > As opposite extreme you could have a country with a super strict and specific constitution that is too holy for any politician to change (maybe a theocracy) but the gov controls most of the industryThe *government* still has a lot of political power inasmuch as it controls lots of things.
