Marquess Nakayama Tadayasu (Japanese: 中山 忠能, 17 December 1809 – 12 June 1888) was a Japanese nobleman and courtier of the Edo period and then one of the Kazoku of the post-1867 Empire of Japan. He was the father of Nakayama Yoshiko (1836–1907), mother of the Emperor Meiji, who was born and brought up in Nakayama's household.[1] He had the rare honour of being awarded the Order of the Chrysanthemum while he was still alive.[2]
