genealogy
- Nagachika ( 長 近 ; 1524–1608) served Oda Nobunaga and then Toyotomi Hideyoshi . In 1585 he was commissioned to subdue the province of Hida . He defeated and killed Anenokōji Koretsuna ( 姉 小路 自 綱 ; 1540–1587), whereupon he received Hida and Takayama made his residence with 38,000 Koku.
- Yoshishige ( 可 重 ; 1559-1616), a son of Nagao Kagenaga, was adopted by Nagachika as heir. He also served Nobunaga and then Hideyoshi. However, in 1600 he joined Tokugawa Ieyasu . During the Osaka campaign in 1615, he defended Kishiwada Castle in Izumi Province and fought so well that he was able to collect 208 heads from opponents alone. Yoshishige was famous for his art of performing the tea ceremony he learned from Sen no Rikyū .
In 1692 the Kanamori were transferred to Kaminoyama ( Dewa Province ), where they resided briefly at the castle there , before they received the Gujō-Hachiman Castle in the Mino Province with 20,000 koku in 1697 .
- Yorikane ( 頼 錦 ; 1713–1763) was deposed because of poor administration in 1759 and the Nambu handed over to house arrest. With this, the family lost their rank as daimyo.
