Munakata no Nagauji

Munakata no Nagauji was the son of the daiguji Ujinari, who in 1251 placed the still-youthful Nagauji in the head priesthood of Munakata Taisha while guarding the shrine's affairs himself. From around 1273 Nagauji directed the shrine in name and fact.

When the Mongols invaded Kyushu, the Kamakura shogunate reinstated him as daiguji in 1279 for coastal defense, and after the 1281 Kōan campaign he was granted five chō of Kanzaki manor in Hizen Province.
