Haruzumi Arima

Japanese: 有馬晴純 - ありま・はるずみ

Year of death: February 28, 1566 (March 19, 1566)
Year of birth: Bunmei 15 (1483)
A military commander in Hizen (Saga Prefecture, Nagasaki Prefecture) during the Sengoku period. His original name was Masazumi. He became a monk and took the name Sengan (Sengan). He was the son of Sumiaki. In July 1539 (Tenbun 8), Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu of the Muromachi Shogunate bestowed the name Haruzumi and the official position of Shuri-no-taifu, and presented him with a sword, a horse, agarwood, gold, a tray, coins, and other items as a token of appreciation. During Haruzumi's reign, the Arima clan expanded its influence within Hizen, and came to control six counties in the province. However, the entry for July 3, Tenbun 8 in the Odate Tsuneoki Diary, which states that he was the guardian of Hizen, requires further consideration. The Christian daimyo Omura Sumitada was Haruzumi's second son, but Haruzumi himself oppressed Christians.

戦国時代の肥前(佐賀県,長崎県)の武将。初名賢純。出家して仙岩(仙巌)。純鑑の子。天文8(1539)年7月,室町幕府将軍足利義晴から晴純の名と修理大夫の官途をもらい,礼として刀,馬,沈香,黄金,盆,銭などを献上。晴純の代に有馬氏は肥前国内で勢力を拡大し,同国6郡を支配するに至ったという。ただし,『大館常興日記』天文8年7月3日条に,肥前守護とあるのは検討を要する。キリシタン大名大村純忠は,晴純の次男であるが,晴純自身はキリシタンを弾圧した。
