Hojo Ujinao

Encyclopedia : H : HO : HOJ : Hojo Ujinao

Hōjō Ujinao (北条氏直: 1562–December 19, 1591) was the fifth and final head of the Late Hōjō clan of daimyo in Japan. He lived during the late Azuchi-Momoyama period of Japanese history. Eldest son of Hōjō Ujimasa and Ōbai-in (the eldest daughter of Takeda Shingen), he married Toku Hime, the second daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu, as a condition for peace. In 1590, Odawara fell to siege at the hands of Toyotomi Hideyoshi; his father and uncle were forced to commit seppuku, but Ujinao was spared because he was Tokugawa Ieyasu's son-in-law. He and his wife were exiled to Mount Kōya, where he died late the following year.
