The was a Japanese clan of Mutsu Province which was famous for its actions during the 16th century Sengoku Period. Claiming descent from Taira Masakado, the family was politically important from the early Nanbokucho Period on, especially as supporters of Ashikaga Takauji.〔''Monogatari: Hanshi'' Volume 1, Kodama Kōta, ed. Tokyo: Shin Jinbutsu Ōraisha, 1966, p. 278〕 Due to this connection to the man who became the first Ashikaga shogun, they became powerful fairly quickly, and by the Sengoku Period were a focal point of regional authority in southern Mutsu, northern Hamadōri of present day. The first daimyō of Nakamura was Yoshitane's son, Sōma Toshitane.〔 In the Boshin War, during the reign of the daimyō Tomotane, the Sōma clan were signatories to the pact that formed the Ōuetsu Reppan Domei.〔 As the blood of the clan is still very strong in the population of its ancient domain, further strengthened by the Sōma Nomaoi festival, they continue to exist informally, as many other Japanese clans. It is the inheritor of their Overlords, Sōma Kazutane, 33rd head of Sōma clan, who still preside over the festival, although his eldest son, Sōma Michitane, acted as ''Samurai Sōtaishō'' (commander in chief) in 2011. In this both religious festival and military training, hundreds of descendants of Sōma hanshi (warriors of Sōma feudal domain) wearing armors and riding horses, show their skills. The Sōma Nomaoi has its roots around 937 AD. It also seems to be linked to Myōken (Bosatsu ?) as the Ujigami of the Sōma clan, and thus with Amenominakanushi no kami. ==Genealogy of the Sōma Lords== # Sōma Morotsune (1143–1205) # Sōma Yoshitane (?-?) # Sōma Tanetsuna (?-?) # Sōma Tanemura (?-1270?) # Sōma Morotane (1263?–1294?) # Sōma Shigetane (1283?–1337) # Sōma Chikatane (?–1358) # Sōma Taneyori (1324–1371) # Sōma Noritane (?–1395) # Sōma Tanehiro (?-?) # Sōma Shigetane (?-?) # Sōma Takatane (1424–1492) # Sōma Moritane (1476–1521) # Sōma Akitane (1508–1549) # Sōma Moritane (1529–1601) # Sōma Yoshitane (1548–1635) Daimyo of the ''Sōma-Nakamura Domain '' (Tokugawa period) # Sōma Toshitane (1581–1625), r. 1602–1625 # Sōma Yoshitane (1619–1651), r. 1625–1651 # Sōma Tadatane (1637–1673), r. 1652–1673 # Sōma Sadatane (1659–1679), r. 1673–1679 # Sōma Masatane (1661–1728), r. 1679–1701 # Sōma Nobutane (1677–1711), r. 1701–1709 # Sōma Takatane (1697–1772), r. 1709–1765 # Sōma Morotane (1734–1791), r. 1765–1783 # Sōma Yoshitane (1765–1816), r. 1783–1801 # Sōma Muratane (1781–1839), r. 1801–1813 # Sōma Masutane (1796–1845), r. 1813–1835 # Sōma Mitsutane (1819–1887), r. 1835–1865 # Sōma Tomotane (1852–1892), r. 1865–1871 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「Sōma clan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
