Nasu
The Nasu were warrior lords of northeastern Shimotsuke Province, with a base at Karasuyama Castle. The family split into upper and lower branches in the fifteenth century, before Nasu Sukefusa reunited them in 1514.
Nasu Sukeharu lost his domain in 1590 during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Odawara campaign, though his son Sukekage retained a small estate. The family regained daimyō status in the Edo period, but lost Karasuyama in 1687 after a succession dispute and continued as lesser retainers.
