Template:Japanese name Matsudaira Yorinori (松平 頼徳, 1831–1864) was a Japanese Samurai of the late Edo period. He was the ninth feudal lord of the Shishido han (Hitachi Province). He was the Daimyo of 10,000 koku. His father, Matsudaira Yoritaka (松平 頼位, 1810–1886), was the eighth feudal lord of the Shishido han.
Career
Yorinori succeeded Yoritata, who retired in 1846. Yorinori acted as an assistant to the Tokugawa Yoshiatsu (徳川 慶篤, 1832–1868) who was the elder brother of Tokugawa Yoshinobu (徳川 慶喜, 1837–1913). Yoritaka who retired the lord, helped his son as an sub assistant, Tokugawa Yoshiatsu was the tenth feudal lord of the Mito Domain which was the Shishido han's head family. Also, Yorinori accompanied Tokugawa Iemochi (徳川 家茂, 1846–1866) to Kyoto in 1864.
In 1864, Yorinori was ordered by the Shogunate that go to Mito in order to deal with an uprising of the Tengu Party (天狗党), which members had thought of Mitogaku and Sonnō jōi (尊皇攘夷) "Revere the emperor, expel the barbarians". Tengu Party was dissatisfied with the foreign policy of the Shogunate. Yorinori failed to deal with the Tengu Party, due to sympathy for the Tengu Party. Yorinori had thought of Sonnō jōi and Mitogaku also, and he was a believer of Tokugawa Nariaki (徳川 斉昭, 1800–1960) who was a person of radical imperialism.
In spite of unwillingness, Yorinori was at war with the Ichikawa Party, which was the aristocratic family group in the Mito Domain, and which was the enemy of the Tengu Party, so he was blamed by the Shogunate. Yorinori was going to appeal to the Shogunate for listening to the vindication that the fact of the process that it had been fought, but he was commanded Seppuku, disgracefully, as "the enemy leader", without any opportunity of the vindication. This unfairness judge was by work of Ichikawa Sanzaemon (市川 三左衛門, 1816–1869), who held real power in Mito. Yorinori died by Seppuku at the age of 35, on October 5 (Japanese calendar date) 1864. Most of the vassals were executed too, and Yorinori's father, Yoritaka was deprived of feudal tenure, and was placed in custody of the Uzen Shinjo han. The Shishido han was attainted. Furthermore, Yoritaka forfeited his residence in Edo by Shogunate.
In 1868, it was ordered the restoration of the Shishido han from the new government of Meiji Emperor (明治天皇, 1852–1912) and Yorinori's father, Yoritaka who was retired, was returned to the feudal lord (10th feudal lord) of the Shishido han again to become han Chiji (domainal governor) by Imperial order in 1869.
Afterwards, Yorinori's younger brother, Matsudaira Yoriyasu (松平 頼安, 1856–1940) was handed over birthright from his father who was old age, in July 1880. And Yoriyasu was conferred a viscount on July 8, 1884.
Relative
Yorinori's younger sister was Matsudaira Kō (松平 高, 1858–1923). She married Nagai Iwanojō (永井 岩之丞, 1845–1907) who was the supreme court judge, and was the adopted son of Nagai Naoyuki (永井 尚志, 1816–1891). Her daughter, Nagai Natsu (永井 なつ, 1876–1939) (married name was Hiraoka Natsu), was the grandmother of Yukio Mishima (三島 由紀夫, 1925–1970).[1][2][3]
Yorinori's younger brother, Matsudaira Yoriyasu, has been the model of the main characters in the several short stories of Mishima. These stories' titles are Shinkan (神官) "Shinto priesthood"; Koushoku (好色) "Lust" and Kaibutsu (怪物) "Monster".[3]
