Matsudaira Naritaka

Matsudaira Naritaka (松平 斉孝) (February 9, 1788 – February 26, 1838) was a Japanese daimyō of the late Edo period who ruled the Tsuyama Domain of Mimasaka Province. Naritaka was the fourth son of Matsudaira Yasuchika, the fifth generation lord of Tsuyama; however, his brother Yasuharu succeeded to family headship first. After Yasuharu's death, Naritaka became lord of Tsuyama; however, he was discontented with the aloof treatment which Tsuyama received from the Tokugawa house, despite its status as a shinpan (親藩; Tokugawa-branch) domain. The domain had also been reduced from its former income of 100,000 koku. Consequently, though he had many children of his own, he adopted the shōgun Ienari's son Ginnosuke, in order to improve the relations between Tsuyama and the main Tokugawa family. Upon G
