In the year 1843 he was appointed Jisha-bugyō and in 1849 became Osaka jōdai. In 1850, he was appointed Kyoto Shoshidai and rose to the post of rōjū 1851, holding that post until 1862 During his tenure as rōjū he was influential in the Bunsei reforms and the Kōbu gattai movement to strengthen the shogunate through union with the Imperial family of Japan.
