Ie udun

Japanese: 伊江御殿家 (Ie udun ke)

The Ie udun lineage was a lineage of Ryukyuan scholar-aristocrats, claiming descent from Shô Sôken (Chôgi), the seventh son of King Shô Sei (r. 1527-1555). Each successive head of the family was nominally associated with Iejima as his domain.

The fifth and seventh heads of the family notably married royal princesses, attaining the rank of "prince" (王子, J: ôji, O: wuuji). Conversely, the 11th head of the family, Ie Chôchoku (Shô Ken), was born the fifth son of King Shô Kô and was adopted into the Ie lineage.

A collection of documents belonging to the family, including diaries, lineage charts, and other historical records, was designated an Important Cultural Property in 2019; a portion of these documents were hand-copied sometime in the 20th century by family head Ie Tomoo from items from the Shô ke monjo (Shô family documents), lent to him by Shô Hiroshi, at that time head of the Shô family (the former royal family of Ryûkyû).
