Morisada Matsudaira

Morisada Matsudaira (松平保定, Matsudaira Morisada, 1926 – 9 Aug 2011) was a Japanese businessman who was active in historical preservation. The grandson of Matsudaira Katamori, he spent a fair amount of time in Aizu. Morisada was approached by the Imperial Household Agency in the late 1980s, with a request to serve as an official at the mourning ceremony for Emperor Hirohito; simultaneously, they expressed a desire to install him as chief priest of Yasukuni Shrine. Morisada declined the Yasukuni appointment, as the shrine was built to enshrine the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army who died in the Boshin War and exclude those who fought against them, including men of the Aizu, Sendai, Nihonmatsu, and Morioka domains.^[1]

Morisada had one son, Morihisa Matsudaira.^[2]
