*''Died: [[1573]]''
*''Japanese'': [[宗]] 将盛 ''(Sou Masamori)''
Sô Masamori was the 14th head of the [[So clan|Sô clan]]. He is known for building [[Kaneishi castle]], which would remain the seat of [[Tsushima han]] through the [[Edo period]].
A son of [[So Morihiro|Sô Morihiro]], he was born into a branch family who oversaw Toyosaki district, but later succeeded [[So Morinaga|Sô Morinaga]] to become head of the main line of the Sô clan. In [[1527]], Masamori built a new family mansion, known as the Ike no yakata, in Izuhara (the main castle-town of [[Tsushima Island]]), but this was burned down the following year in a rebellion led by [[So Moriharu|Sô Moriharu]] of the Tsutsu district branch family. Masamori managed to escape and survive the rebellion, and constructed a new mansion called Kaneishi yakata. Masamori failed to command the loyalty of his retainers, however, and was forced into retirement in [[1539]].
Masamori was succeeded as 15th head of the Sô clan by his uncle, [[So Haruyasu|Sô Haruyasu]]. Masamori's sons [[So Shigenao|Sô Shigenao]], [[So Yoshizumi|Yoshizumi]], and [[So Yoshitoshi|Yoshitoshi]] later became the 17th, 18th, and 19th heads of the family,.
