Utsunomiya Yasufuji

Utsunomiya Yasufuji (1302–1352) was a warrior of Shimotsuke Province, son of Mumo Tokitsuna, and a senior retainer of Nitta Yoshisada. In 1335 he fought Ashikaga Takauji at Yamazaki, and in 1336 he fled with Yoshisada to Echizen Province.

When Yoshisada was killed at Fujishima in 1338, Yasufuji wandered the country carrying his lord's severed head, then buried it and became a Lotus sect monk named Renjō in Mikawa Province, where he died in 1352.
