Nabeshima Motoshige (鍋島 元茂, Nabeshima Motoshige, November 24, 1602 – December 19, 1654) was a Japanese daimyō of the Edo Period, who ruled the Ogi Domain.[1]
He was the eldest son of Nabeshima Katsushige, the first lord of Saga Domain.[1] Although he was the eldest son of Nabeshima clan, he was displaced in the line of succession for Saga Domain by his younger half-brother, Tadanao, whose mother was a daughter of shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu, while his mother was a peasant woman named Oiwa. When his brother died, the office was succeeded by his nephew Mitsushige. He was a wise advisor to the third Tokugawa shogun Iemitsu and served as a chief retainer to Lord Nabeshima of Hizen.[2]
In 1642, Ogi Domain was founded and Motoshige became its first daimyō.
He died in the third year of Jōō (1654), and his son, Naoyoshi, succeeded him.
