Hirosada Ōuchi

Hirosada Ōuchi was a provincial official of Suō Province and the fourth head of the Ōuchi line there, succeeding his father Hironari. Where earlier heads had kept the Kamakura shogunate at arm's length, he acted much like a shogunal vassal and helped build the Kan'in palace.

A devout Buddhist, he founded Daishō-ji in 1266. During the second Mongol invasion of 1281 he advanced into Buzen Province by shogunal order, and he died in 1286.
