Ijuin clan

The Ijuin kamon.

• Japanese: 伊集院家 (Ijuuin ke)

The Ijûin were descended from Shimazu Tadatoki. They served the Shimazu throughout the Sengoku period, and though Ijûin Tadamune and his son Tadazane faced some scandals in the 1590s-1600s, the clan continued to enjoy prominent positions within the Shimazu house or Satsuma han (such as the position of karô) through the course of the Edo period.
