Matsudaira Naritami

Matsudaira Naritami (松平 斉民, September 12, 1814 – March 23, 1891) was a Japanese daimyō of the late Edo period who ruled the Tsuyama Domain of Mimasaka Province.

In a rather curious turn of events, following his retirement, Naritami received a stupendously large pension of 10,000 hyō (俵; bales of rice) directly from the Bakufu; this is believed to have been because of his status as Ienari's son.

As he oversaw most of the principal affairs of the family (particularly during Iesato's time studying abroad), he was secretly known by some as dai jūrokudai (第十六代 "16th generation [lord of the clan]").

Naritami was deeply trusted by Yoshinobu, even with affairs as important as finding good matches for his children.

A letter left by Yoshinobu attests to this fact: Before any marriage proposal, be sure to consult with Naritami.
