The Satomi ( Japanese 里 見 氏 , Satomi-shi ) were a family of the Japanese sword nobility ( Buke ) , which was derived from Nitta Yoshishige († 1202) and thus from the Seiwa Genji .

The family is known from Kyokutei Bakin's often adapted epic Nansō Satomi Hakkenden .

genealogy

  • Yoshitoshi ( 義俊 ; 1137-1170), son of Yoshishige was the first to Satomi called himself, after his fief, a village in the district Usui in the Kōzuke Province .
  • Yoshizane ( 義 実 ; 1417–1488), a descendant of Yoshitoshis, moved from Kōzuke to Awa Province and built a castle in Shirahama.
  • Yoshitaka ( 義 堯 ; 1512–1574), grandson of Yoshizane, succeeded his father Sanetaka, who had been murdered in 1533 by his nephew Yoshitoyo. He went to the field against the murderer, besieged his castle Inamura, conquered it, killed Yoshitoyo and thus ruled over the whole province of Awa. He himself was defeated in the Battle of Kōnodai in 1538 together with Ashikaga Yoshiaki by Hōjō Ujitsuna , whereupon many of his vassals left him. Some time later, however, he succeeded in conquering Shiizu Castle, which belonged to Takeda Nobumasa. Then he took up the fight against the Hōjō again, which he defeated in various battles. But then samurai from the provinces of Musashi , Sagami , Kazusa and Shimousa turned against him. Yoshitaka built a castle in Kururi and lived there. He left his Tateyama Castle to his son Yoshihiro.
  • Yoshihiro ( 義 弘 ; 1530–1578), Yoshitaka's son, was beaten in 1564 at Kōnodai by Hōjō Ujiyasu and fled to Kazusa. In 1567 he returned and drove out the army of the Hōjō, which Kururi had besieged.
  • Yoshiyori ( 義 頼 ; 1555–1586), Yoshitaka's son, continued the fight against the Hōjō, who had invaded Kazusa and Awa in 1581.
  • Yoshiyasu ( 義 康 ; 1573-1603), Yoshiyori's son, took part in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's campaign against Odawara, but lost Kazusa and Shimousa. His holdings were reduced to Awa with an income of 92,000 koku . In 1600 he joined Tokugawa Ieyasu , whereupon his income was increased to 120,000 koku.
  • Tadayoshi ( 忠義 ; 1594–1622) was deposed in 1614 because of his involvement in the Ōkubo plot. At the request of his samurai, he received Kurayoshi Castle in the Hōki province with 40,000 koku. Since he had no offspring, this line became extinct.
