Tomigusuku Chôshun was a Ryukyuan scholar-official, who was appointed to serve as Lead Envoy (seishi) on a Ryukyuan mission to Edo in 1832. Prince Tomigusuku died while in Kagoshima, however, and was replaced as Lead Envoy by Futenma peechin Chôten (aka Shô Kan), who then also took on the title of Prince Tomigusuku.[1]
Prince Tomigusuku was buried in Kagoshima, either at the Shimazu clan temple of Fukushô-ji, or at the Ryûkyû-associated temple Kômyô-ji.[2]
