Was Jisha-bugyo, Osaka-jodai, and in 1841 roju. In 1856 the Bakufu charged him
with regulating the intercourse with foreigners, and it was in this capacity
that, in the following year, he received Mr. Harris, the envoy of the United
States, and procured for him an audience with the Shogun Iesada to discuss the
opening of certain ports. This question roused the hostility of the daimyo of
Mito, Tosa, and others; Masayoshi was sent to Kyoto but failed to obtain at
Court the acceptance of the proposals. Though he was of the same opinion as
the minister of the Shogun, Ii Naosuke, who made use of him, the party hostile
to foreigners prevailed, and Masayoshi, confined to his residence, was removed
from public affairs. He soon afterwards died, leaving the reputation of a
skillful administrator and a distinguished literary man.
