Matsudono Moroie (松殿 師家, July 12, 1172 – November 11, 1238), third son of Matsudono Motofusa, was a kugyō (high-ranking Japanese official) from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period.[1] Regent Fujiwara no Tadataka and Buddhist monks Gyōi and Jitsuson [ja] are his stepbrothers. His mother was Tadako (忠子), a daughter of Kasan Tadamasa and one of his sisters was Ishi, mother of Dōgen; shortly after Minamoto no Michitomo, Dōgen's father, died, Moroie adopted his three year old nephew until Dōgen ran away to his uncle Ryōkan, a monk living at the foot of Mount Hiei.[1]
Though he was not first-born, in 1179, the year his father became a monk, at age eight he was promoted to chūnagon, one of Daijō-kan due to the political tension between Emperor Go-Shirakawa and Taira no Kiyomori. However, this caused backlash from Kiyomori, leading to the Jisho coup in the same year.
In 1232, he ordained as a Buddhist monk and took the Dharma nameDaishin (大心).
