was a Sō clan ''daimyō'' (feudal lord) of the island domain of Tsushima at the end of Japan's Sengoku period, and into the Edo period. His name is sometimes read as Yoshitomo.〔Papinot, Jacques. (2003). (''Nobiliare du Japon'' -- Sō, p. 56; ) Papinot, Jacques Edmond Joseph. (1906). ''Dictionnaire d’histoire et de géographie du Japon.''〕 Under the influence of Konishi Yukinaga he was baptized and accepted the name "Dario". He took part in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea in the 1590s, and led a force in the Siege of Busan. The Sō clan did not participate in the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600;〔 however, the ''tozama'' Sō clan were allowed to continue to rule Tsushima.〔Appert, Georges 'et al.'' (1888). ( ''Ancien Japon,''p. 77. )〕 ==Early life== Yoshitoshi was the fifth son of Sō Masamori; his wife, who took the baptismal name Maria, was the daughter of Konishi Yukinaga. Yoshitoshi became the head of the family in 1580, after his adoptive father, Sō Yoshishige, was defeated, and Tsushima conquered, in a prelude to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Kyūshū Campaign. Yoshitoshi thus entered Hideyoshi's service, and began organizing negotiations with Korea, as Hideyoshi's representative. The Joseon king refused to allow Japanese troops to pass peacefully through Korea in an attempt to conquer Ming Dynasty China, and the negotiations ultimately proved entirely fruitless, leading to Hideyoshi's decision to invade Korea militarily. In 1587, Toyotomi Hideyoshi confirmed the Sō clan possession of Tsushima.〔 Yoshitoshi played a crucial role in Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea, as a result of Tsushima's strategic location between Japan and Korea, and his knowledge of, and experience with, Korea. He thus led the first major land assault of the Imjin War, the Siege of Busan, on 13 April 1592, while Konishi Yukinaga attacked the Korean naval fortress. He continued his command through a number of the ensuing engagements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sō Yoshitoshi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
