Soga no Kurayamada no Ishikawa no Maro

Japanese official and member of the Soga clan

600 CE to 649 CE

Soga no Kurayamada no Ishikawa no Maro (died 649) is a member of the Soga clan and first holder of the office of udaijin (Minister of the Right).

He is the son of Soga no Kuramaro and grandson of Soga no Umako; his daughter is married to Prince Naka-no-Ōe.

After the fall of Soga no Iruka, he is the most senior member of the family.

As chronicled in the Nihon Shoki, he is accused of treason and strangles himself at Yamada-dera in 649; his wife and seven of his children also commit suicide; other relatives are captured and executed.

The discovery of exonerating documents leads to a posthumous pardon and the posting of his slanderer to Tsukushi Province.

His death brings the political ascendancy of the Soga clan to an end.
