Sanmôji is a hill and public park in the [[Tsuji]] district of [[Naha]]. It is famous as the supposed late 17th or early 18th century meeting place (according to the [[1886]] ''[[Nanto kiji gaihen|Nantô kiji gaihen]]''<!--南島記事外編--> by [[Nishimura Sutezo|Nishimura Sutezô]]<!--西村捨三-->) of three of [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû's]] most famous scholars: [[Tei Junsoku]], [[Sai On]], and [[Suguri Yamada]].
The site's name developed out of its previous name, ''Sanmonju'' (lit. "three literary pearls"), referring to the three eminent scholars who met there. Some documents refer to the site as ''samôshi'' (三孟子), referring to the great Chinese thinker [[Mencius]] (J: ''Môshi''), among other names.
