Tomari Jochiku was a Buddhist monk and Neo-Confucian scholar, known as a Confucian teacher and advisor to King Shô Hô and Shô Shôken of the Ryûkyû Kingdom.[1]
Originally from Ôsumi province, Jochiku studied Nichiren Buddhism at the Honnô-ji in Kyoto before relocating to Kagoshima, where he studied Neo-Confucianism under Bunshi Genshô. Shedding his monastic robes, he became a Confucian advisor and tutor to Tôdô Takatora, lord of Tsu han in Ise province, and following Tôdô's death, entered into the service of the Shimazu clan of Satsuma han.
He died on 1655/5/15 at the age of 86.
