Shijō Takamune

Shijō Takamune (died 1358), originally named Takamoto, was a court noble of the late Kamakura and Nanbokuchō eras and the seventh head of the Shijō family, the son of Senior Third Rank Shijō Takana. He took the name Takamune in 1332 and rose to Junior Third Rank in 1351.

In 1358 he reached Senior Third Rank, but that year was murdered by robbers at his home; his severed head was afterwards found set upon a road.
