Daidōji family

The Daidōji clan (大道寺氏) were a Japanese samurai kin group in the Kamakura period.

Its origin is considered to be Daido-ji Temple of present Ujitawara-cho, Tsuzuki County, Kyoto Prefecture.

The Daidoji family was believed to have moved to Senbon Shaka-do Temple of Kyoto.

After the fall of the Hojo clan, Daidoji Shigenao, the second son of Daidōji Masashige who worked as the top at Kawagoe-jo Castle and governed 180 thousand koku crop yields, served the Maeda clan of Kaga Province and then began to serve Matsudaira Tadayoshi with two thousand Goku crop yields.

Matsudaira Tadayoshi was the fourth son of Tokugawa Ieyasu and had been given 490 thousand koku crop yields in Owari Province.
