Letter of Collation

Letter from Ogasawara Tadamune to my great-uncle


===================================================

THE RESULT OF COLLATION
Regarding the request of collation of the family tree of Mr. Hideo Ogasawara.


The family tree submitted to us by Mr. Hideo Ogasawara was collated with the Master Family Tree of Ogasawara in my possession.  From the master family tree, it was described as follows:

The Descendants of the Takatenjin Branch

Decendants of Ogasawara Nagataka (Youth name: Okihachiro), the son of Ogasawara Sadatomo.

Ogasawara Haruyoshi, (aka: Sakyo Dayu, Okihachiro) the son of Ogasawara Nagataka.

Ogasawara Kiyohiro, (Lord of Arima Castle), son of Ogasawara Haruyoshi.

Ogasawara Yoshitoki, (Inheritor of the fief of Mimasaka-no-Kami Nagauji), son of Ogasawara Kiyohiro

Ogasawara Okuyasu, (Vassal of Kii Chuunagon, aka. Sakuuemon), son of Ogasawara Kiyohiro.


In the family tree of Ogasawara Iwami-no-Kami, it is listed as follows:

Ogasawara Sadayasu (aka. Sakuuemon), son of Ogasawara Yoshitoki.

In both instances, Okuyasu and Sadayasu's mortuary tablets are kept in Yousen-ji Temple.  Furthermore, in manual writing of Chinese characters, such names as Okuyasu, Okiyasu (from the family tree of Mr. Hideo Ogasawara), and Sadayasu, should look very smiliar to each other.  Additionally, both Okuyasu and Okiyasu (from the family tree of Mr. Hideo Ogasawara) had a sister who married a man who belonged to the Kii Clan (Kishu Tokugawa Branch).

From these evidences, It must be clear that these persons, Okuyasu and Okiyasu should be the same.  This is the final result of my collation.

 

April of 1985
