2 unusual facts about Ōoka clan


Ōoka clan

The clan’s fortunes went into eclipse when Ōoka Tadashina (1667–1710) so displeased Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi that he was exiled to Hachijojima and Ōoka Tadafusa (1650–1696) was forced to commit seppuku for killing a retainer of the Shimazu clan in a brawl.

However, the clan’s fortunes revived under Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, with the appointment of the talented Ōoka Tadasuke to the position of Edo Machi-bugyō.
