About Date Narimura

  • Date Narimura (????, 6 January 1775 – 29 August 1796) was an mid-Edo period Japanese samurai, and the 8th daimyo of Sendai Domain in the Tohoku region of northern Japan, and the 24th hereditary chieftain of the Date clan. Narimura was the second son of Date Shigemura by a concubine.
  • His childhood name was Shikisaburo (???) later Shojiro (???) later become Date Tokimura, and he became heir on the death of his elder brother in 1783.
  • At the time of his genpuku ceremony in 1787, he received a kanji from shogun Tokugawa Ienari and became Date Narimura.
  • He also received court rank of Junior Fourth, Lower Grade and the courtesy titles of Mimasaka-no-kami and Jiju (chamberlain) at that time.
  • In 1790, he became daimyo on the retirement of his father, and his title was changed to Mutsu-no-kami and Sakonoe-shosho.
  • In 1793, he married the daughter of the kampaku Takatsukasa Sukehira, who was the elder sister of Emperor Kokaku.
  • The year 1796 was not a good year for Sendai Domain.
  • Narimura's wife died due to complications in childbirth of his eldest son.
  • He shortly afterwards he received word of his father's death at the clan residence in Edo.
  • On his way back to Sendai after the funeral, he fell ill near Shirakawa, and died shortly after returning home to Aoba Castle at the age of 23.
  • As his heir Date Chikamune was still an infant and his second son (by a concubine), Date Narimune was still in his mother's womb, the domain took over a week to inform the authorities of Narimura's death, so that they could ensure that Narimune was posthumously recognised as Narimura's official son, and second in the line-of-succession.
