Sô Sadamori was a 15th century Sô clan lord of Tsushima who succeeded to the position of shugo after the death of his father, Sô Sadashige, in 1418/4.[1]
In 1436, Sadamori received a monopoly (within Japan) on trade with Korea. In 1443, he secured an arrangement with the Korean royal court under which all Japanese traveling to Korea required a (Korean) travel permit issued by the Sô house. This strengthened the position or authority of the Sô, preventing others from competing with the Sô for prominence,[2] and represents a significant development in setting a foundation for Sô power, and the Sô-Korea relationship, for centuries afterward.
In 1449, he presented an important collection of Korean sutras to a Hachiman shrine on the island, which was later donated by Ishida Mitsunari to Mt. Kôya.[3]
His younger brother Sô Moriyo oversaw Tsutsu district at the southern end of Tsushima Island. Sadamori's son Sô Shigemoto succeeded him as head of the Sô house and ruler of Tsushima.
