Shigemasa Kato 加藤重正
Shigemasa Kato (Kato Shigemasa, (1575 - 1645) ) was a samurai in the early Edo period.
He is Hatamoto. He is commonly known as Kansuke. He served Ieyasu Tokugawa, Hidetada Tokugawa, and Iemitsu Tokugawa.
His father is Shigetsune Kato. He has a daughter (Yoshinaga Omori's wife) as a child, Shigenaga Kato (the second son of Yoshinaga Omori) as an adopted child, and Masatoshi Kato.
His brothers are Masamitsu Kato, Shigekatsu Kato, and Tadashige Kato, who are separated from each other.
- - - Lifetime
Kansuke Kato Shigemasa is known as an equestrian.
His ancestor Shigehide Ueda (equestrian) taught him Ueda style equestrian. He served Ieyasu Tokugawa from the 5th year of Tensho (1577) and Hidetada Tokugawa, the second shogun from the 2nd year of Genna (1616), and received 400 stones of knowledge. Shigemasa was entrusted with Mima by Hidetada Tokugawa about the sword fighting on horseback, and became famous (there is another description that he told the third shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu about this).
In the 9th year of Genna (1623), when Hidetada went up, he served. In the 10th year of Kanei (1633) after Hidetada's death, he was entrusted with 30 concentric humans (guns) and was allowed to wear cloth. In the 11th year of Kanei (1634), he received 500 new stones of land, and became 900 stones in Kai and Musashi provinces.
He died on June 22, 1645. He was 71 years old.
He was buried at Seiganji Temple in Kohinata Daimachi, Koishikawa.
After that, Seiganji Temple became the burial ground of the Kato family for generations, and it is said that Shigemasa was opened with this. In 1922, Seiganji was relocated to Nishisugamo, Nishisugamo-cho, Toshima-ku (currently 4-chome, Nishisugamo, Toshima-ku) due to the expansion of the city planning road in Tokyo.
A stone pagoda with the name of Shigemasa engraved on the current Seiganji Temple still exists. It can be read as "Seiganji Ichibin Somi Daishi". Seiganin (Seiganin) in Fussa City is also known as the founder of Nakako, and the legal name of Shigemasa Kato, "Seiganin-den Ichibin Somi Daishi".
