      Under the Edo Shogunate, the Satomi Clan got feudatory to the Tokugawa Clan.  At the beginning of the shogunate, Satomi Tadayoshi (1594-1622) got drawn into power struggles around Okubo Tadachika (1553-1628), his grandfather-in-law and one of the consuls of the shogunate.  After Tadachika’s downfall in 1614, Tadayoshi was transferred to Kurayoshi, Hoki Province, along the Sea of Japan.  After his death in 1622, the clan line was severed.
