Wachi no Sanenari

Wachi no Sanenari was a Kamakura-period warrior of Bingo province, son of Hirosawa Sanemura, whose family held twelve villages of Mitaki District for service at the Battle of Fujito. He divided his father's lands equally with his elder brother Sanetsuna, took Wachi Manor as his share and adopted the name Wachi, while Sanetsuna's line became the Eda.

In Kangen 1 (1302) the former court lady Go-Fukakusain no Nijō, returning from a pilgrimage to Itsukushima, lodged first at Sanenari's house and then at his brother's, nearly driving the brothers to fight until their cousin Hirosawa Yukizane mediated.
