*''Titles: Bungo no kami''
Oguri Tadamasa was a high-ranking ''[[metsuke]]'' who traveled as a member of the [[1860 Japanese Embassy to the United States|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]].
