Yoshinari was the second son of [[So Yoshitoshi|Sô Yoshitoshi]], who he succeeded as lord of Tsushima in [[1615]].
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>
