Daijo Suemoto

Daijo Suemoto was head of the Daijo house of Hitachi Province, succeeding his father Tomomoto as Hitachi Daijo; in his later years he took Buddhist vows. His chosen heir, his son Mitsumoto, died young, so Suemoto had Mitsumoto's eldest son Tsunemoto named family head and acted as the boy's guardian.

Suemoto died on 27 April 1289 at the age of sixty-eight. His death at once opened a succession crisis, as the Hojo houseman Kudo Mitsuteru intervened to install his own grandson and drive Tsunemoto out.
