About Matsudono Moroie
Matsudono Moroie , third son of Matsudono Motofusa, was a kugyō from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period. Regent Fujiwara no Tadataka and Buddhist monks Gyōi and Jitsuson 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.
