Sho Hashi-no Haka - tomb of Sho Hashi, the 1st king of the Ryukyu Kingdom
I set out today, October 24, 2015, in search of the tomb of Sho Hashi. Mission accomplished! At the beginning of the video I mentioned that I'm in search of Sho Hashi no hako - yes, that was a goof! It's HAKA (tomb) not HAKO (which means 'box'). Sho Hashi was the last of the kings of Chuzan, the central kingdom of three kingdoms on the main island of Okinawa. Sho Hashi consolidated the three previous individual kingdoms; Chuzan, Nanzan (the southern kingdom), and Hokuzan in the north. Thus he became the first king of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
