* ''Born: [[1532]]?''
* ''Died: [[1582]]''
[[Image: Amako_tsunehisa.jpg ||thumb|right|Amako Tsunehisa.]]
Established in [[1392]], the [[Amako clan|Amako]] were relatively minor until the advent of the [[Onin War|Ônin War]], which allowed Tsunehisa to assume control of [[Izumo province|Izumo]] from his headquarters at [[Gassan-Toda castle|Gassan-Toda Castle]].
Tsunehisa was born in March [[1458]], the eldest son of [[Amako Kiyosada]]. Under Tsunehisa's leadership the Amako clan became powerful in Izumo and came into conflict with the [[Ouchi clan]]. Tsunehisa marched against them in [[1518]] and again in [[1522]]. In the latter endeavor, Tsunehisa entered [[Aki province|Aki]] and made [[Mori Motonari|Môri Motonari]] a vassal. Tsunehisa attempted to bring down [[Kanayama castle|Kanayama Castle]], but, failing in his efforts, he withdrew in [[1524]]. In [[1527]] the Amako and Ouchi clashed over the control of [[Bingo province]].
When Tsunehisa's great rival, [[Ouchi Yoshioki]], died in [[1528]], Tsuenhisa took the opportunity to expand Amako influence eastward and into Iwami, always an area of contention for it's valuable silver mines. His ambitions were tempered with the rebellion of his son [[Amako Okihisa|Okihisa]] (? – [[1534]]) in [[1532]] over inheritance issues. While Okihisa failed in his revolt and committed suicide in 1534, the Amako clan itself was left somewhat weakened. Soon after, Tsunehisa retired in favor of his grandson Akihisa (Haruhisa) but continued to make most important decisions.
A noted strategist and competent ruler overshadowed by later warlords, Tsunehisa left as his legacy the [[Kitsugi Grand Shrine]] in Izumo, which he had built in the 1530's.
