En'ya

The En'ya were a branch of the Sasaki family named for En'ya in Izumo Province, where they long served as governors. En'ya Takasada supported Emperor Go-Daigo in 1333, then joined Ashikaga Takauji.

Accused of plotting against the Muromachi government, Takasada fled Kyoto and killed himself in 1341. En'ya Mitsumichi revived the family as shogunal retainers in the early fifteenth century, but the later En'ya were taken over by the Amago in the sixteenth century.
