Uesugi Harunori (上杉 治憲, September 9, 1751 – April 2, 1822) was the 9th daimyō of Yonezawa Domain in Dewa Province, Japan (modern-day Yamagata Prefecture), under the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate of Japan.[1] After retirement, he adopted the gō, or pen name, Yōzan (鷹山). Today, he is best remembered for his financial reforms, and he is often cited as an example of a good governor of a domain.
