Washizu Nagahiro

Nagahiro Washizu was a warlord and shugo lord of the late Kamakura and Southern and Northern Courts period, born to Ōuchi Hiroie. The Washizu house, a branch of the Ōuchi based at Washizu Manor in Suō Province, had no heir, so the nun Zen'ni adopted him as its successor.

In 1333 Emperor Go-Daigo appointed him shugo of Suō after the Kamakura shogunate fell. In February 1336 he fought for Ashikaga Takauji against the imperial army at Hyōgo, and ruled the Ōuchi as Buzen no Kami. After his death, his second son Hironao inherited the Suō shugo post.
