Description
Murai Sadakatsu served as a retainer of the Oda clan, wielding a sharp political acumen that contrasted with his exterior demeanor. His rapid ascent through the clan’s hierarchy secured him a direct position under Nobunaga Oda. After Nobunaga moved to the capital, Murai took charge of the Oda family’s administrative governance in Kyoto.
He mediated the 1556 conflict between Nobunaga and his brother Nobuyuki Oda, forging a temporary peace. By 1573, he governed Kyoto as an administrator alongside fellow Oda officers, directing the reconstruction of Nijō Castle in 1576 and supervising Kyoto’s restoration in 1578—a role that included hosting Emperor Ōgimachi and the imperial court.
He perished during the Honnō-ji incident in 1582 while serving Nobunaga’s son, Nobutada Oda. His sons, Sadanari and Seiji, died alongside him in the event.
