Biography and lineage

NOTE: There seems to be an anomaly in Hawley's data. He provides two records which are clearly describing Sōshū Yukimitsu: YUK266 and YUK268. But the dates of YUK266 don't agree with common opinion that Yukimitsu worked starting from Kagen (1303). At the same time YUK266 is marked as 'National Treasure', which YUK268 isn't.

I'm going to make YUK268 a primary record for Sōshū Yukimitsu.
