Kutsuki clan

Japanese: 朽木氏 - くつきうじ
Kutsuki clan

A samurai family from the Kamakura to Edo periods. It began when Yoshitsuna, a member of the Omi Genji Sasaki clan, was given the position of land steward of Kutsuki Manor in Takashima County, Omi Province (Kutsuki, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture), the place where his great-grandfather Nobutsuna had served in the Jokyu War (1221), and lived in the manor, calling himself Kutsuki. When Ashikaga Takauji rebelled against the Kenmu government, Yoshitsuna's grandson Yoshiuji sided with him, achieving military success in various places and creating an opportunity to become a close attendant to the shogun. After that, the Kutsuki clan served the shogunate as servants and were highly trusted by the Ashikaga Shogunate. In 1528 (Kyoroku 1), Ashikaga Yoshiharu and after 1551 (Tenbun 20), Yoshiteru both sought refuge in Kutsuki Valley, relying on the Kutsuki clan. During the Sengoku period, Mototsuna served Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and in the Battle of Sekigahara, he sided with the Eastern Army and was granted confirmation of his territory by Tokugawa Ieyasu. His descendants served the Tokugawa clan as hatamoto vassals or as feudal lords of Tamba and Fukuchiyama with 32,000 koku of land. In 1884 (Meiji 17), the lord of the former Fukuchiyama domain, Tsunasada, was granted the title of viscount.

Japanese:

鎌倉~江戸時代の武家。近江源氏(おうみげんじ)佐々木一族の義綱(よしつな)が、曽祖父信綱(のぶつな)の承久の乱(じょうきゅうのらん)(1221)の勲功の地である近江国高島郡朽木荘(くつきのしょう)(滋賀県高島市朽木)地頭職(じとうしき)を譲られ同荘に居住、朽木を称したことに始まる。義綱の孫義氏(よしうじ)は足利尊氏(あしかがたかうじ)が建武(けんむ)政府に反するやこれに同調、各地で戦功をあげ将軍に近侍する契機をつくった。その後朽木氏は奉公衆(ほうこうしゅう)として幕府に仕え、足利将軍家から厚い信頼を受けており、1528年(享禄1)には足利義晴(よしはる)が、1551年(天文20)以降は義輝(よしてる)が二度にわたってそれぞれ朽木氏を頼って朽木谷に避難している。戦国期の元綱(もとつな)は織田信長、豊臣秀吉(とよとみひでよし)に従い、また関ヶ原の戦いでは東軍に内応して徳川家康から本領安堵(あんど)を受け、その子孫は旗本として、あるいは丹波(たんば)福知山(ふくちやま)3万2000石の大名として徳川氏に仕えた。明治になって1884年(明治17)、旧福知山藩主綱貞は子爵を授けられている。
