Tadamasa defeated the [[Ito clan|Ito]] in [[1485]] in southern [[Hyuga province|Hyuga]]. He suffered the rebellion of a number of [[Shimazu clan|Shimazu]] vassals in [[Osumi province|Ôsumi]] in [[1496]] and the [[Kimotsuki clan|Kimotsuki]] in [[1506]]. He died in 1508, possibly by suicide.

Shimazu Tadamasa was the 11th head of the [[Shimazu clan]]. He is known both for his political/military exploits, and for the founding of the [[Satsunan school]] of [[Neo-Confucianism]], which got its start when Tadamasa invited [[Keian Genju]] to come to [[Satsuma province|Satsuma]] to lecture on the subject.

 

A son of [[Shimazu Tatsuhisa]], Tadamasa's notable campaigns include the defeat of the [[Ito clan|Itô clan]] in [[1485]] in southern [[Hyuga province|Hyûga]]. He suffered the rebellion of a number of his vassals in [[Osumi province|Ôsumi]] in [[1496]], and of the [[Kimotsuki clan]] in [[1506]]. He is said to have killed himself, in [[1508]], the result of a combination of illness, and for his failure to suppress the Kimotsuki rebellion.

 

He was succeeded as clan head, in turn, by each of three of his sons, [[Shimazu Tadaharu]], [[Shimazu Tadataka|Tadataka]], and [[Shimazu Katsuhisa|Katsuhisa]].
