Kuroda Tadayuki (黒田 忠之, 9 November 1602 – 30 March 1654 in Fukuoka, Chikuzen Province, Japan) was a daimyō during the early Edo period. He succeeded his father, Kuroda Nagamasa, first daimyō of the Fukuoka Domain in Chikuzen Province following his father's death in 1623.


Early life

[edit]

Kuroda Tadayuki was born on 9 November 1602 (Keichō 7) in Fukuoka, Chikuzen Province, Japan in the home of the Kuroda clan's chief retainer, Kuriyama Toshiyasu [jp].[1] He was the eldest child of Kuroda Nagamasa—first daimyō of the Fukuoka Domain in Chikuzen Province—and his father's second wife, Eihime [jp].

In 1612, Tadayuki went to Kyoto with Nagamasa, and Tadayuki was given the surname Matsudaira by Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun of the Edo shogunate.[2]

Daimyō

[edit]

Tadayuki became the second daimyō of Fukuoka Domain upon his father's death on 29 August 1623.[n 1][3]

After sending retainers to investigate the reported appearance of a divine spirit performing several miracles at a cave, Tadayuki established the Sakurai Daijingu in 1625. A few years later, he had Sakurai Shrine built in 1632.[4][5][6][7]

Notes
