Shigenoi Sanemasa (滋野井実全)
Sanemasa SHIGENOI (May. 23, 1700 - Dec.4, 1735) was Kugyo (a Court noble) in the middle of Edo period. His father was Kinzumi SHIGENOI. He had sons including Kinkazu SHIGENOI.
He was conferred a peerage at the age of three, and he was raised to Jugoinoge jiju (Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade Chamberlain) when he was celebrated his coming of age in 1707. After that, he was appointed as Togu no suke (Assistant Master in the Crown Prince's Quarters) at the time of the official investiture of the Imperial Prince Teruhito. In 1733, he was appointed as Sangi (councilor). Next year, he was raised to Jusanmi (the Junior Grade of the Third Court Rank). In 1735, at the time when Imperial Prince Teruhito became the Emperor Sakuramachi, Sanemasa was appointed as Gon Chunagon (Provisional Middle Counselor). Soon after that, however, he fell sick and died at the age of 35.
He was knowledgeable about Yusoku kojitsu (court and samurai rules of ceremony and etiquette) like his father. In addition, he closely served the Crown Prince. Therefore, he left many records of the investiture and genpuku (a coming-of-age ceremony) of the Crown Prince.
