Description
HISTORY OF ASANO Asano Naganori of Ako, master of the famed 47 Ronin was born the first son of Asano Nagatomo, Lord of Ako Domain (Hyogo Pref.) in Edo in 1667. Naganori was just 9 years old when his father died in March, 1675, becoming the 3rdLord of Ako. As an adult, Asano Naganori’s official duties saw him installed as Head of Carpentry details at the Imperial Court, a nominal title as most titles were in those days. In 1683 he first met Lord Kira Yoshinaka, the Master of Protocol at Edo Castle, when he was appointed one of two daimyo tasked with hosting delegates and guests from the Imperial Court to the Shogun. Lord Kira instructed the younger daimyo, but tensions are said to have arisen between the two.

Lord Kira instructed the younger daimyo, but tensions are said to have arisen between the two. Nagamori would suffer a serious illness circa 1694, and as he was childless, adopted his younger brother, Nagahiro, in order to maintain the family lineage and domain should anything untoward happen to him. Lord Asano was again called upon to host emissaries from Kyoto in 1701, and again he came under the tutelage of Lord Kira. On April 21, 1701, for unknown reasons, tempers flared and Lord Asano drew his short sword, and attacked Lord Kira in the hallway known as the Corridor of Pines. Lord Kira was only wounded in the shoulder and on the forehead, however, as drawing a sword within the confines of Edo castle was a capital offence, lord Asano was ordered to cut himself open.
