− | Kiyohide served three generations of the [[Oda clan|Oda]] family ([[Oda Nobusada|Nobusada]], [[Oda Nobuhide|Nobuhide]], and [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga]]). He committed suicide in [[1553]] to protest the young Nobunaga's outlandish behavior - a surprising gesture that is said to have had the desired effect.

| + | Kiyohide served three generations of the [[Oda clan|Oda]] family ([[Oda Nobusada|Nobusada]], [[Oda Nobuhide|Nobuhide]], and [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga]]). He was regarded as a man of culture and learning and during Nobunaga's time was concerned primarily with economic and diplomatic matters. Among other things, he arranged the marriage of Nobunaga to a daughter of [[Saito Dosan|Saitô Dosan]] in [[1549]]. After admonishing Nobunaga many times for what he felt was unbecoming and unreasonable behavior, he committed suicide in 1553 as a final protest. In regret over Masahide's death, Nobunaga built a temple in the Hirate fief (in Owari's Kasugai District), which was nicknamed the 'Masahide-ji'. |
