Nagano Yasumori

Nagano Yasumori was, as Buzen gazetteers record, the sixth son of Taira no Tokimori. In 1157 he was appointed governor of Buzen, built a castle at Nagano in Kiku District, and took the place name as his family name, founding the Buzen Nagano clan.

He held the title Shuri-no-daibu with junior fourth rank, and the family death register records his death in 1178 and his Buddhist name Sūzan Hakuei. His descendants held the district as local lords for some four hundred years.
