The ''Ankokuzan jukaboku no kihi'' (lit. "Peaceful Nation Mountain Flowering Trees Record Stele") is a stele bearing the oldest extant example of Okinawan writing. It was erected in [[1427]] by King [[Sho Hashi|Shô Hashi]] of [[Chuzan|Chûzan]] in front of [[Shuri castle]], on the banks of the [[Ryutan|Ryûtan]] pond. This area was known as Hantanzan, or Ankokuzan, and was an outer gardens for the castle, designed by the [[Ming Dynasty|Ming]] immigrant [[Kaiki]], who planted trees and had the Ryûtan created. This stone relates those events.
