Suwa Yoritsugu

Suwa Yoritsugu (1329–c. 1395) was the ōhōri, high priest of the Upper Shrine of Suwa in Shinano Province, and the son of Suwa Tokitsugu. His father and grandfather died backing Hōjō Tokiyuki in the Nakasendai Rebellion of 1335, so he inherited the priesthood as a child.

In 1347 he petitioned the Muromachi shogunate for the rank of Shinano-no-kami and joined Ashikaga Tadayoshi's faction, rivalling the Ogasawara clan for mastery of Shinano. He later took the names Naoyori and then Yorihiro.
