Nitobe Tsutō was born on December 9, 1793, at Hanamaki Castle.[2] He was also called Nueta (縫太).[2] His father was Nitobe Koretami (維民).[1] His posthumous name was Tsunezumi (常澄).[2] His Go (pen name) was Taiso (太素).[2]
Nanbu Toshitaka's reforms included the abolition of death penalty, and even those who committed serious crimes were imprisoned.[3] As a result, there were significant violence and frequent complaints from the people.[3] One day he met a castle keeper.[3] At that time, he told this castle keeper that he was ready to go on a business trip at any time, and listened loudly where thousands of peasants were in trouble.[3] There was no prospect of being told, and when he continued to push up even if he talked about one thing, he told his opinion that if he cut off two people who moved forward, only a few people would be dispatched.[3] He was never ordered to travel, perhaps because his opinion did not fit the reform plan of the then daimyō Nanbu Toshitaka.[3] After Toshitaka's death in 1820, his father thought it was time and filed a white paper with the Morioka clan, along with several samurais, including Tsutō.[3][4] However, the white paper was not accepted, and his father was taken up on a semi-land and expelled to Tanabu(now part of the city of Mutsu).[3][4] When his father was exiled from Morioka Domain, Tsutō also lived with his father.[4] At that time, he decided to make a living as a merchant, went to Morioka to learn commerce, went back to his father's home and started commerce, and went up to Edo at the request of a timber dealer.[4] In 1852, he applied to Morioka Domain for the development of a new rice field in Sanbongi.[2] In 1855, he was appointed Sanbongi Shinden Goyogakari (new rice field affairs official in Sanbongi).[2] In 1869, he assumed the post of Daisanji (second to a governor) of the Shichinohe Domain.[2] He died on November 9, 1871.[2]
