The Yasuda clan was a Japanese samurai kin group in the Sengoku period and Edo period.[1]
History
editThe clan was established by Ōe no Hiromoto.[citation needed]
In the Sengoku period, a branch of the Yasuda clan was made responsible for the collection of duties on the cloth trade.[2]
In modern history, the Yasuda are known as a "financial clan" because of their success in banking.[3]
