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
editKuroda 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.[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.
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
editTadayuki 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
