Shiba Muneie

Muneie (dates unknown) was a mid-Kamakura warrior and second head of the Shiba (Owari-Ashikaga) house, succeeding his father Ieuji. He served the shogunate as an independent gokenin, taking the ‘Mune’ of his name from Hōjō Tokimune. He held Junior Fifth Rank with the post of Sakon no shōgen, and was known as Owari Saburō; tradition makes him the first Shiba by name.

He survived the 1285 Shimotsuki purge, losing many lands, and was still active in the Kagen disturbance of 1305. His son was Muneuji.
