  • Japanese/Okinawan: 御物奉行 (omono bugyô, gomotsu bugyô / umun bujô)

The Omono bugyô or gomotsu bugyô, known as umun bujô in Okinawan, was an official under the authority of the hyôjôju (the Ryûkyû Kingdom's department of justice), who oversaw the kingdom’s finances. The position was concurrently held by three officials, all of whom enjoyed positions on the Council of Fifteen. The office (or bugyôsho, O: bujôju) of the umun bujô was divided into three sections: the shotai-hô 所帯方, kyûchi-hô 給地方, and yôi-hô 用意方.
