Yuasa Munechika

Yuasa Munechika, known as Kusumoto Saemon-no-jō, was a late Kamakura gokenin and jitō, or estate steward, of Ategawa manor in Kii Province. In 1275 the manor's peasants submitted a petition accusing him of threatening to cut off their ears and slice off their noses.

Preserved in the Koyasan archives, the complaint is one of medieval Japan's best-known peasant suits. He was the second son of Yuasa Muneuji and father of Yuasa Munekuni.
