Mr. Misumi

Japanese: 三隅氏 - みすみうじ

A local clan in the Middle Ages that had its base in Misumi-go, Naka County, Iwami Province, and exerted its influence in the western Iwami region. According to genealogy and other records, they were a branch of the Iwami Masuda Mikamoto clan, and Masuda Kanetaka's second son Kanenobu was given the position of land steward of Misumi, Kizuka, and Nagayasu, based in Misumi Taka Castle, and founded a clan in 1229 (Kanki 1) that took the name of the Misumi clan. However, it is believed that the establishment of medieval Misumi-go dates back to the late or final Kamakura period, and the establishment of the Misumi clan, which bears the name of the district, also dates to around this time.

Japanese:

石見国那賀郡三隅郷を基盤にして石見西部地域に勢力を張った中世の在地豪族。系図等の記すところによると，石見益田御神本（みかもと）氏の一族で，益田兼高の次男兼信が三隅，木束（きづか），長安（ながやす）の地頭職を得て三隅高城に拠り，1229年(寛喜1)一家を創立して三隅氏を称したという。しかし実際には，中世三隅郷の成立は鎌倉後期ないし末期まで下ると推定され，郷名を冠する三隅氏の成立もまたこのころのことに属すると考えられる。
