was a Japanese daimyō of the Azuchi-Momoyama Period to early Edo period.〔Meyer, Eva-Maria. ("Gouverneure von Kyôto in der Edo-Zeit." ) Universität Tübingen (in German).〕 He fought at the side of Ieyasu Tokugawa at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600.〔Nussbaum, Louis-Frédéric ''et al.'' (2005). "''Itakura Katsushige''" in ; n.b., Louis-Frédéric is pseudonym of Louis-Frédéric Nussbaum, ''see'' (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek Authority File ).〕 Katsuhige's daimyō family claimed descent from the Shibukawa branch of the Seiwa-Genji. The Itakura identified its clan origins in Mikawa province, and the descendants of Katsuhige were considered the elder branch of the clan.〔Papinot, Jacques. (2003). (''Nobiliare du Japon'' -- Itakura, pp. 16-17; ) Papinot, Jacques Edmond Joseph. (1906). ''Dictionnaire d’histoire et de géographie du Japon.'' (in French/German).〕 Katsuhige was sometimes identified by his title, Iga-no kami.〔 He served in the Tokugawa shogunate as the second ''Kyoto Shoshidai'',〔Murdoch, ( ''A History of Japan'', p. 10. )〕 holding office in the period spanning the years from 1601 through 1620.〔Meyer, Eva-Maria. ("Gouverneure von Kyôto in der Edo-Zeit." ) University of Tüebingen (in German).〕 In addition to administrative duties, the ''shoshidais participation in ceremonial events served a function in consolidating the power and influence of the shogunate. For example, in September 1617, a Korean delegation was received by Hidetada at Fushimi Castle, and Katsuhige was summoned for two reasons (1) for the Koreans, to underscore the importance accorded the embassy, and (2) for the ''kuge'' courtiers in attendance, to make sure that they were properly impressed.〔Toby, Ronald. (1991). ( ''State and Diplomacy in Early Modern Japan: Asia in the Development of the Tokugawa Bakufu,'' p. 69. )〕 Katsushige was succeeded in this role by his eldest son, Shigemune, who held the office from 1620 through 1654.〔Murdoch, pp. 10, ( p. 134. )〕 The merit earned by Katsushigu and Shigemune was remembered years later when devastation of the Itakura family was threatened by the otherwise unpardonable actions of a descendant.〔Screech, Timon. (2006). ''Secret Memoirs of the Shoguns: Isaac Titsingh and Japan, 1779-1822,'' pp. 117]-121.〕 He was unusual in that he was one of the "new men" in the close service of Tokugawa Ieyasu.〔Bolitho, Harold. (1974). ''Treasures among Men,'' p. 161.〕 After the Siege of Osaka, Katsushige was entrusted with enforcing the newly promulgated ''Kuge Shohatto'' code of conduct for court nobles.〔Butler, Lee A. ( "Tokugawa Ieyasu's Regulations for the Court: A Reappraisal," ) ''Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies,'' Vol. 54, No. 2 (Dec., 1994), pp. 509-551.〕 He was the senior shogunate official overseeing the completion of Nijō Castle's construction in 1603.〔( Nijō Castle construction ), Columbia University.〕 His grave is at Chōen-ji Temple, in modern-day Nishio, Aichi. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Itakura Katsushige」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
