Nabeshima Naomasa was the final lord of Saga domain.
He was married to Kuniko (Morihime), a daughter of Shogun Tokugawa Ienari; Kuniko died on 1867/3/10.[1]
He met with Yevfimy Vasilyevich Putyatin on at least one occasion, receiving the Russian in his own private gardens in Saga.[2]
Later, when the newly-formed Meiji government was debating whether to abandon Sakhalin Island to the Russians, Naomasa was among those advocating an expansion of Japanese defense of the island - to defend it, and Japan, from Russian encroachment.[3]
A statue of him was erected and unveiled in Saga in March 2017.[4]
