Historical Information
Born in November 13, 1612 as Sadatsugu (貞次), the young boy had been adopted by Musashi at the age of 11 when the latter resided in Edo at the time. According to a recently-discovered genealogy, he was said to have been Musashi's nephew from his eldest brother Hisamitsu.

Now taking on the name Iori, he offered his services to the daimyo Ogasawara Tadazane, having started out as a mere page before rising up the ranks at an astounding rate. After 5 years, he became an important vassal of the Ogasawara clan and later had his salary increased to 1,500 koku for his valiant efforts during the Shimabara Rebellion in 1638. Eventually, he was soon made the clan's highest ranked vassal at the age of 26.

Nine years after Musashi's death, Iori erected a large stone monument in his honor on the peak of Mt. Tamuke in Akasaka. The monument had over 1,000 written characters that served as the basis for Musashi's biographies according to historians.

Iori died in May 18, 1678 and was buried on the foot of Mt. Tamuke alongside his other family members. His remaining descendants ended up inheriting the position of principal vassal within the Ogasawara clan.
