- Titles: Bungo no kami
Oguri Tadamasa was a high-ranking metsuke who traveled as a member of the first Japanese embassy to the United States in 1860.
Following his return to Japan from the US, he and inspector Mizoguchi Katsuyuki were dispatched to Tsushima han to address a situation in which a Russian ship, the Posadnik, had anchored for months and refused to leave. After several weeks of meetings with no progress, the pair left.
Shortly after their return to Edo, Oguri resigned his post as magistrate for foreign affairs, and was succeeded by Nonoyama Kanehiro.
