Sô Yoshinari was the 20th head of the [[So clan|Sô clan]] and the second [[Edo period]] lord of [[Tsushima han]]. He is perhaps most known for the [[Yanagawa Affair]], which took place during his time as lord. He also escorted five [[Korean embassies to Edo]], in [[1617]], [[1624]], [[1636]], [[1643]], and [[1655]].

In 1635, Tsushima domain [[Karo|Karô]] [[Yanagawa Shigeoki]] accused the Sô clan of falsifying formal diplomatic communications with the [[Joseon|Korean]] royal court. This eventually resulted in Yoshinari, Shigeoki, and others being received in audience by Shogun [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]], in [[Edo castle]], with Iemitsu considering the accusations directly. In the end, the [[Tokugawa shogunate|shogunate]] allowed the Sô house to retain their lordship over Tsushima and their unique privileges and responsibilities in handling relations with Korea; Shigeoki was exiled to [[Tsugaru]].<ref>Gallery labels, Tsushima Museum.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/52093351164/sizes/h/][https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/52093616315/sizes/l/]</ref>
