Hino Suketomo

Japanese: 日野資朝 - ひの・すけとも

Year of death: Shokei 1/Genkō 2.6.2 (1332.6.25)
Year of birth: 1290
A nobleman in the late Kamakura period. His father was Gon Dainagon Hino Toshimitsu. He was a close aide to Emperor Go-Daigo. He was said to be a man of exceptional talent and learning. He was trusted under the direct rule of the Emperor, and in 1321 he became a councilor, and in 1322 he was promoted to Junior Third Rank and Chief Kebiishi. In the same year, he went down to Kamakura as an imperial envoy. He participated in the Emperor's plan to overthrow the shogunate from the beginning and devoted himself to the movement. Together with Hino Toshiki, he often invited Tajimi Kuninaga, Kazan-in Mochikata, Shijo Takasuke, and others to parties called "Bureiko" in order to deceive the Kamakura shogunate's spies. In September 1324, they tried to start an uprising on the day of the festival at Kitano Tenjin Shrine, but their plot to overthrow the shogunate was discovered in advance, and they were captured by the Rokuhara Tandai, escorted to Kamakura, and exiled to Sado in August of the following year. Later, when the Emperor was exiled to Oki in 1332 after the failure of the Genko Incident, the shogunate ordered Sado Shugo Honma Nyudo to behead Suketomo in his exile, claiming that it was to prevent future troubles. As he was dying, Suketomo is said to have recited the following verse: "The white blade is about to strike my neck, a gust of wind that cuts through me." The Taiheiki records that Suketomo's son Asinmaru (Hino Kunimitsu) went to Sado despite his mother's objections and asked to see his father, but was unable to do so. Upon learning that his father had already been murdered, he avenged his father, was rescued by a mountain ascetic, and escaped from his pursuers aboard a merchant ship.

生年：正応3(1290)
鎌倉後期の公卿。父は権大納言日野俊光。後醍醐天皇の側近。才学人に過ぐと称される。天皇親政のもと信任を受けて,元亨1(1321)年参議に,3年従三位,検非違使別当となった。同年勅使として鎌倉に下向した。天皇の討幕計画に最初から参加し,運動に専念した。日野俊基と共に,鎌倉幕府の密偵を欺くために,多治見国長,花山院師賢,四条隆資らを招いて,しばしば無礼講と称する宴会を開いた。正中1(1324)年9月,北野天神社の祭礼の日に蜂起しようとしたが,討幕の謀議が事前に露見して六波羅探題に捕縛され,鎌倉へ護送,翌年8月には佐渡に配流された。のち,元弘の変の失敗により,正慶1/元弘2(1332)年,天皇が隠岐に流された際,幕府は将来の禍根を断つためと称して,佐渡守護本間入道に命じて,資朝を配所において斬首させた。死に臨んで資朝は,「まさに,首に白刃あたらんとす,截断する一陣の風」と偈したという。『太平記』は,資朝の子阿新丸(日野邦光)が,母の反対を押し切って佐渡に赴き,父に面会を求めたもののかなえられず,すでに謀殺されていることを知るや,父の仇を討ち,山伏に助けられ,商人船に乗って追っ手から逃れたと記している。
