*''Date: [[1635]]''
*''Japanese'': [[柳川]] 事件 ''(Yanagawa jiken)''
The Yanagawa Affair was a scandal in which [[Tsushima han]] ''[[karo|karô]]'' [[Yanagawa Shigeoki]] and others were found to have been forging diplomatic documents.
In a grand audience held at [[Edo castle]] on [[1635]]/3/11, Shogun [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]] made a determination to declare the [[So clan|Sô clan]] not guilty, and to allow them to retain their special position in facilitating relations with Korea. Yanagawa was exiled to [[Tsugaru]]. A system was established in which monks from the Kyoto [[Gozan]] ("Five Mountains") [[Zen]] temples would be accredited by the shogunate as experts at diplomacy and dispatched to the [[Iteian]] temple on Tsushima to oversee the creation of diplomatic documents and other matters.
