Kira Clan
The Kira clan(吉良氏 - kira-shi) was a Japanese clan, descended from Emperor Seiwa (850–880), and was a cadet branch of the Ashikaga family from the Minamoto clan (Seiwa Genji). Ashikaga Mitsuuji, grandson of Ashikaga Yoshiuji (1189–1254) was the first to take the name of Kira. History Kira Mitsusada sided first with his relative Ashikaga Takauji (1305–1358), the first Ashikaga ''shōgun'', then passed over to the Southern Dynasty. He was defeated by Hatakeyama Kunikiyo (1360) and submitted to the Ashikaga ''shōguns''.

During the Tokugawa period, they were among the ''Kōke'', a ranking below ''Daimyō''. The Kira are famous for Kira Yoshina ...

Kira (title)
, , or (all are Greek for "lady"), was a common title for the women (usually Jewish women, but also Christians), who acted as agents for the women of the Ottoman sultan's Imperial Harem. History Context and background The method of using non-Muslim women as intermediaries between men and Muslim businesswomen was a common phenomenon in all classes in the Ottoman Empire. Muslim women were provided formal control of their own money, and thus theoretically allowed to participate in business. However, in practice their participation in business was hampered by the fact that it was not seen as respectable for women to come in contact with men outside of the family. The gender segregation of Muslim women provided a valuable business opportunity for both Jewish and Christian women, who are known to have functioned as intermediaries and go-between for Muslim women, selling the handiwork of Muslim women on the market place and to (male) merchants. The French traveler Pierre Belon noted thi ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
