Matsudaira Munenori

Matsudaira Munenori (松平 宗矩, April 29,1715–November 30,1749) was the 10th daimyō of Fukui Domain under the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate in Echizen Province.

In 1712, he was selected by Shōgun Tokugawa Yoshimune to become heir to Fukui Domain, and was wed to a daughter of Matsudaira Yoshikuni.

Under his tenure, extensive reforms were taken to root out corruption and to provide disaster relief for people suffering from crop failure or destitution.

He also focused on forestry, especially the planting of lacquer trees, and improvements to the domain’s port at Mikuni.

He also managed to have all the tenryō territories in Echizen Province placed under the administration of Fukui Domain, for which he received a percentage of their revenues.
