genealogy

  • Sukeie ( 資 家 ) settled in Nasu District in 1125 and took this name. His descendants became increasingly influential, and among the Ashikaga they were one of the "eight Kantō families" ( 関 東 八家 , Kantō hakke ). During the civil wars ( Sengoku-jidai ) in the 15th and 16th centuries, it was able to defeat its neighbors, the Utsunomiya , and take over their territory. They built Karasuyama Castle in Karasuyama .
  • Sukeharu ( 資 晴 ; 1556–1609) was stripped of family property by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1590 after he came too late for the siege of Odawara .
  • Sukekage ( 資 景 ; 1586–1656), Sukeharu's son, received the Fukuhara fief in the Nasu district with 5000 koku after apologizing to Hideyoshi . At the battle of Sekigahara and the siege of Osaka , however, he sided with Tokugawa Ieyasu , who gave him further property around Fukuhara in gratitude for this, which now yielded 14,000 koku income as a fief of Nasu.
  • Sukemitsu ( 資 弥 ; 1628–1687), later Sukemasa ( 資 祇 ), was born into the Aoki family and his older sister, O-Raku no Kata was the mother of the shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna , to whom he served as a page. After the death of Sukekage's son Sukeshige ( 資 重 ) in 1642, he was adopted by Sukekage as his successor, and in 1664 received Nasu back with 12,000 koku and in 1681 Karasuyama with 20,000 koku.
  • Sukenori ( 資 徳 ; 1672-1708), son of Tsugaru Nobumasa the daimyo of Hirosaki , was adopted by Sukemitsu because he had his birth son Masamitsu adopted by Mashiyama Masatoshi, the daimyo of Nishio . After Sukemitsu's death, there was a dispute between Sukenori and another son of Sukemitsu, in the course of which the Karasuyama family was taken away from the family. From then on the Nasu served as Hatamoto with 1000 Koku.
