Mōri clan, ichimonji mitsuboshi (Japanese 一 文字 三星, three stars under one), symbol of unity

Mōri (Japanese: 毛利) is a daimyō in western Japan.

The founder of the family was Suemitsu Mōri. In 1336 his grandson, Tokichika Mōri, was appointed military commissioner of earthquakes (jitō) in Aki Prefecture (now part of Hiroshima prefecture). From then on, the castle of Hiroshima was the main seat of the family, which began its heyday with the arrival of the Motonari Mōri (1497-1571). He expanded the boundaries of his domain by raiding his neighbors so that at the end of the 16th century his grandson, Terumoto Mōri (1553-1625) could control the ten provinces of western Honshu, earning an annual income of approximately 1 million koku of rice (1 koku = 180,391 liters). Provide food for one adult per year.

As one of the most powerful daimyō, Terumoto Mōri was along with Ieyasu Tokugawa, in the five-member regency council formed by Hideyoshi Toyotomi. After the death of Toyotomi in 1598 there was an inevitable split among the council members, and Mōri was found in the camp of opponents of Tokugawa. After the victory of the Tokugawa in the battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and officially took over in 1603 as a powerhouse in the country, the Terumoto Mōri estate, which was included in the tozama daimyō, was reduced by 3/4 to the two westernmost provinces Suō and Nagato, called Chōshū. The last daimyō of the Chōshū horde, Takachika Mōri (1819-1871), and Motonori Mōri Motonori Mōri received the title of Duke in 1884 and became a member of the House of Aristocracy. Bibliography
