Odate clan

Japanese: 大館氏 - おおだちうじ

He was a descendant of the Kozuke Nitta clan, and many members of the family became senior vassals of the Ashikaga Shogunate. Imamairinotsubone, who was the wet nurse of Ashikaga Yoshimasa and was exiled for meddling in politics, was the daughter of Odate Mitsufuyu. Hisashi (posthumous Buddhist name Tsuneoki), who was the second in command of Ashikaga Yoshihisa, was well versed in the customs of the samurai and participated in the Shogunate administration as one of Ashikaga Yoshiharu's internal advisors. His Odate Tsuneoki Shosatsusho and Odate Tsuneoki Nikki are valuable documents that convey the state of politics in the late Muromachi Shogunate and the final days of the manors.
