burial
Shô En's childhood wife is believed to have died, or otherwise separated from Kanamaru, before he rose to prominence at Shuri. He had his first son with his second wife, [[Yosoidon]]. Shô En died in 1476, after ruling for only a few years, and was succeeded by his brother [[Sho Seni|Shô Sen'i]], to Yosoidon's chagrin. Presently, the high priestess, daughter of the late king and Yosoidon, received a divine message indicating that Shô Sen'i should abdicate in favor of his nephew, son of Shô En, who then took the throne as [[Sho Shin|Shô Shin]].

Shô En was originally entombed at a site called Miagemori (見上森), but his remains were moved in [[1501]] to [[Tamaudun]], newly constructed in that year by Shô Shin, especially for that purpose.<ref>Shinzato Keiji 新里恵二 et al. ''Okinawa ken no rekishi'' 沖縄県の歴史. Yamakawa Shuppan, 1996. p60.</ref>
