Nihonmatsu family

Japanese: 二本松氏 - にほんまつうじ

A branch of the Hatakeyama clan that later became the Kanrei family of the Muromachi Shogunate. Local feudal lords of Mutsu Province. Kanrei family of Oshu. In 1345 (Kokoku 6, Sadawa 1) during the turmoil of the Northern and Southern Courts period, Hatakeyama Kuniuji and Kira Sadaie were appointed Kanrei of Oshu by the Shogunate, and the following year they took up their posts in Taga Kokufu (present-day Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture). During the Kan'o Disturbance, Kuniuji and his father Takakuni fought against Sadaie and were forced to commit suicide, but Kuniuji's son Kuniakira escaped and temporarily regained his Kanrei position. They later lost their territories in remote areas such as Kami District and Kurokawa District, and their descendants based themselves in Nihonmatsu, Adachi District (present-day Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture) and called themselves the Nihonmatsu clan.

のちに室町幕府の管領家となった畠山氏の一族。陸奥国の国人領主。奥州管領家。南北朝動乱中の1345年(興国6∥貞和1)，畠山国氏･吉良貞家両名が幕府より奥州管領に任命され，翌年，多賀国府(現，宮城県多賀城市)に着任。観応の擾乱（じようらん）のさい，国氏は父高国とともに貞家と争って自決させられるが，国氏の子国詮はのがれて，一時管領職を復す。その後加美郡，黒川郡など遠隔地の所領を失い，子孫が安達郡二本松(現，福島県二本松市)を根拠として，二本松氏を称した。
