Yoshinori is said to have formally granted [[Shimazu Tadakuni]] suzerainty over the [[Ryukyu Islands|Ryûkyû Islands]] in [[1441]]. Though no documentary evidence of this event survives from earlier than the late 16th century, from the late 16th century onwards the Shimazu frequently cited their authority over Ryûkyû as stretching back to this date, if not to "antiquity."
