About Matsudaira Yasutō

  • Matsudaira Yasuto (?? ??, June 20, 1779 – September 7, 1841) was a Japanese daimyo of the mid to late Edo period, who ruled the Hamada Domain.
  • He served in a variety of positions in the Tokugawa shogunate.
  • After serving as magistrate of temples and shrines and Osaka Castle warden, he served for a year as Kyoto Shoshidai.
  • Upon the conclusion of his service as shoshidai, he was made a roju; from 1834 to 35, he was chief roju (roju shusseki).
  • However, his acceptance of bribes in connection to the Sengoku uprising brought him in conflict with Mizuno Tadakuni and his faction in the shogunate, and cost him his position.
  • He retired from his position as daimyo the same year, and died six years later.
