Sue Hiromasa

Sue Hiromasa was the second head of the Sue, a warrior clan of Suō Province that served the Ōuchi as hereditary retainers. The son of the clan founder Sue Hirokata, he held the Tonda estate in Tsuno District before a war in 1352, and built a fortified residence called Hirajō there.

He founded Shōeiji, whose grounds were ringed with earthen ramparts and a moat, and placed outlying forts on the nearby hills. He also founded Shōgo-ji in Sue village, where his grave remains.
