Biography
Nobukazu was born as the ninth son of Oda Nobuchika and the daughter of Ogasawara Nagayuki. His childhood name was Hyaku-tarō. His wife was the third daughter of Ōmura Sumiyasu, lord of Ōmura Domain in Kyūshū, and his concubine was the fourth daughter of Toda Takanaka of Utsunomiya Domain. He had three sons and three daughters.
On 1811-11-01, he had an audience with the Shogun Tokugawa Ienari. In 1818, on the death of his father, he succeeded to the lordship of Takabatake, and received the ceremonial court title of Wakasa-no-kami and lower 5th Court rank in 1820. In 1826, after the castle at Takabatake had burned down for a second time, he was ordered by the bakufu to shift its location to Tendō, a largely undeveloped forested and mountainous region within the territory of the same domain, where he ruled as first lord of Tendō from 1830-1936. His ceremonial court title was changed to Echizen-no-kami. His grave is at the Buddhist temple of Korin-ji in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
