Kajiwara Heima

Who was Kajiwara Heima?

Kajiwara Heima was a Japanese samurai of the late Edo period who was a retainer of the Aizu domain. He served as a karō in the Aizu administration, and supervised political affairs during the Boshin War, also attending to matters of arms procurement. After the war, he went to Nemuro, and died there. His grave in Nemuro was recently rediscovered.

Kajiwara claimed descent from the Kamakura-era warrior Kajiwara Kagetoki.
