Makino Yasutoshi was the 9th [[Makino clan]] lord of [[Komoro han]] in [[Shinano province]]. He also served the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] as ''[[soshaban|sôshaban]]'' and in other positions for many years before being named ''[[wakadoshiyori]]'' in [[1858]]. Over 2500 volumes of manuscript copies of notes, letters, diary excerpts, and other records related to his professional service are held today by the [[Shiryohensanjo|Shiryôhensanjo]] (Historiographical Institute) at the [[University of Tokyo]] under the title ''Makino Tôtômi-no-kami ki'' (牧野遠江守記); all but a hundred or so of these are from a collection of documents entitled ''Gishiki nado sho tome'' (儀式等諸留, "Various Records on Ceremonies, etc."), which detail ceremonial preparations and activities which took place within [[Edo castle]] on an individual and day-by-day basis.

Yasutoshi was born in [[1818]] the second son of [[Makino Sadamoto]], lord of [[Kasama han]] in [[Hitachi province]]. Adopted by [[Makino Yasunobu]] of Komoro han, he became lord of Komoro himself in [[1832]]. As lord, he is known for the spread of [[smallpox]] inoculation, effecting relief efforts for the poor, river management and flood control projects, and the promotion of local agricultural and artisan production, among other activities.

Named to the ''wakadoshiyori'' in 1858, Makino came to serve as an assistant to [[Tairo|Tairô]] [[Ii Naosuke]]. Yasutoshi is said to have excelled at [[kanshi|Chinese-style poetry]], gunnery, and other civil and martial arts both. He died on [[1863]]/7/11 at the age of 46.
