The Second Siege of Jinju was a battle during 1593 in Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea at Jinju Fortress. It occurred from 20 July to 27 July and ended in the massacre of the entire garrison and a substantial portion of the population. The Second Battle of Jinju became the origin of the Uwajima Ushi-oni Festival in Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture, Japan.
