Sasaki no Tsunekata

Sasaki no Tsunekata was an eleventh-century Uda Genji warrior in Ōmi Province, after whom the Sasaki clan is named. Genealogies make him the eldest son of Sasaki no Yoshitsune and record him as the first to settle at Kowaki in the Sasaki Manor of Gamō District, serving as steward and priest of Sasaki-no-miya Shrine.

He held Junior Fifth Rank and the office of Hyōgo-no-suke. His grandson Sasaki no Hideyoshi, born in 1112, fought in the Hōgen and Heiji disturbances.
