At the time of the succession from Tokugawa Ietsuna to [[Tokugawa Tsunayoshi]] in [[1680]], Masanori was serving as ''Taisei san'yo''. He resigned this position in the 12th month of the following year, just as his son [[Inaba Masamichi]] was taking up a post as ''[[Kyoto shoshidai]]'' in [[Kyoto]]. Two years later, in [[1683]]/int.5, Masanori stepped down as ''daimyô'' of Odawara and went into retirement, allowing Masamichi to succeed him as head of the family and lord of the domain. | At the time of the succession from Tokugawa Ietsuna to [[Tokugawa Tsunayoshi]] in [[1680]], Masanori was serving as ''Taisei san'yo''.
