The Isshiki ( Japanese 一色 氏 , Isshiki-shi ) were a family of the Japanese sword nobility (Buke), which was derived from the Seiwa-Genji .

Overview

During the Ashikaga Shogunate, the Isshiki were one of the "four families" (四 職 家, Shishiki-ke) from which the administrators (執事, shitsuji) of the administration of Kyoto were chosen.

Genealogy (selection)

  • Kimifuka (公 深) was the seventh son of Ashikaga Yasuuji (足 利 泰 氏; 1216-1270). He settled in Isshiki ( Mino Province ) towards the end of the 13th century and adopted the place name for his family.
  • Akinori (詮 範; died 1406) defeated Yamana Ujikiyo (山 名 氏 清; 1344-1392) in 1361 and received the Imatomi (今 富) fief in the province of Wakasa .
  • Yoshitsura (義 貫; died 1440), a grandson of Akinori and son of Mitsunori (died 1414) shared the family property with his brother in 1411: he got the province of Tango , Yoshitsura kept Wakasa. This divided the family into two branches. In 1440 Yoshitsura rose against Shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori , but was beaten and killed by Takeda Nobukata (武田 信 賢; 1420-1471).
  • Yoshinao (義 直; died 1483), a son of Yoshitsura, joined Yamana Sōzen (山 名 宗 全; 1404–1473) during the Ōnin turmoil , but was defeated in 1467 by Hosokawa Katsumoto .
  • Yoshiharu (義 春), a son of Yoshinao, accompanied Ashikaga Yoshimi on his escape to the Ōmi province and stayed there until Ashikaga Yoshitane was appointed Shogun.

The Isshiki lost their property and thus their status during the civil war in the 16th century.
