Manabe-shi - Manabe-ji

Japanese: 間部氏 - まなべうじ

A feudal lord in the early modern period. He was a vassal of the Tokugawa family in Kofu, but during the time of Akifusa, he became a shogunate official as an aide to Tsunatoyo (Shogun Ienobu). He was given several increases in his stipend, and in 1706 (Hoei 3), he became a daimyo with 10,000 koku of rice and was ranked as a wakadoshiyori. He was further promoted to chamberlain, and his stipend was increased three times, giving him the right to 50,000 koku of rice in Takasaki, Kozuke. However, after Akifusa was dismissed, he was transferred to Murakami, Echigo in 17 (Kyoho 2). In 1820, his younger brother Akitoki, who inherited his estate, was transferred to Sabae, Echizen. Also, Akikatsu, a senior councilor at the end of the Edo period, was reduced to 40,000 koku in 1862 (Bunkyu 2) due to his mismanagement during his term of office.

近世大名。甲府徳川家の家臣であったが，詮房（あきふさ）のとき綱豊(将軍家宣)の側近として幕臣となる。以後数度の加増をうけ，1706年(宝永3)1万石の大名となり，若年寄格。さらに側用人に進められる一方，3度加増され上州高崎5万石を領有。しかし詮房罷免により17年(享保2)越後村上へ転封。ついで20年，遺領を継いだ弟詮言（あきとき）は越前鯖江（さばえ）に移される。また幕末の老中詮勝（あきかつ）は在任中の失政を理由に，1862年(文久2)4万石に減封された。
