Amago Yoshihisa

Amago Yoshihisa (尼子 義久) was a member of the Amago Family who died in 1610.

In 1566 he was defeated by the Mōri Family, which led to the Amago Family losing most of their power, as well as the loss of Tomito Castle.

Following on from this, in the same year, he then became a Buddhist monk under the name of Yurin (友林).¹
