*''Born: [[1801]]/10/16''
*''Died: [[1879]]''
*''Japanese'': [[大原]]重徳 ''(Oohara Shigetomi)''
Ôhara Shigetomi was a [[kugyo|court noble]] active in the ''[[sonno|sonnô]] [[joi|jôi]]'' movement of the [[Bakumatsu]] period.
He was born in [[Kyoto]], fifth son of [[Ohara Shigenobu|Ôhara Shigenobu]]. In [[1831]], he was named to the [[court ranks|Junior Third Rank]] and to the title/post of ''Ukon'e no gon-chûjô'' (Middle Captain of the Left Guards). Upon the death of his older brother [[Ohara Shigenari|Ôhara Shigenari]] in [[1838]], Shigetomi succeeded to become family head.
Following the coming of [[Commodore Perry]] in [[1853]], Shigetomi came to support ''jôi'' discourse, and in [[1858]], opposed the granting of Imperial support for the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between the United States and Japan, also known as the [[Harris Treaty]]. He attempted to escape from Kyoto secretly, in order to join up with former lord of [[Mito han]], [[Tokugawa Nariaki]], but failed.
Shigetomi was named Saemon-no-kami in [[1862]], and traveled to [[Edo]] as an official imperial messenger. He presented [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Iemochi]] with imperial instructions to reform the shogunal government, and to expel the barbarians. As a result, [[Tokugawa Yoshinobu|Hitotsubashi Yoshinobu]] was named the shogun's guardian, and [[Matsudaira Shungaku]] ''seiji sôsaishoku'', a similarly powerful government oversight position. Shigetomi became active in the movement to [[osei fukko|restore the monarchy]], and in the so-called ''kogosho kaigi'' (Small Palace Conference) on the evening of [[1867]]/12/9<ref>Jan 3, 1868.</ref>, while [[Yamauchi Yodo|Yamauchi Yôdô]], Matsudaira Shungaku, and others debated a government based on public opinion, Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu resigned his post, and the return of the lands to the [[Emperor]] was decided.
Following the [[Meiji Restoration]], Ôhara served for a time as head of the Office of Justice (''keihôkan''), head of the [[Shugiin|Shûgiin]] house of the legislature, among other positions, but only for a brief time, before resigning his posts in [[1870]], after which he was dubbed Jakô-no-ma Shikô.
In [[1873]], he passed on headship of the Ôhara family to [[Ohara Shigemi|Ôhara Shigemi]]<!--大原重実-->, and in the 11th month that year began the Jakô-no-ma Shikô Conference.
He died on [[1879]]/4/1, a the age of 79, and was posthumously named to the Senior Second Rank. He was buried in [[Yanaka Cemetery]], and [[Prince Kan'in Kotohito]]<!--閑院宮載仁親王--> had an [[State Shinto|Imperial Shinto]] stele engraved in [[seal script]] erected on the site.
