*''Japanese'': 宮良殿内 ''(Miyara dunchi)''
Miyara dunchi is a Ryukyuan aristocratic home located on [[Ishigaki Island]]. It was built in [[1819]] to serve as the mansion for the [[Miyara peechin toen|Miyara peechin tôen]], the lead official appointed by the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan]] royal court to administer/govern the [[Yaeyama Islands]].
The mansion was designed in emulation of the aristocratic mansions of [[Shuri]], the royal capital, in violation of standard practice; though the royal court ordered that it be torn down for this reason, it never was. The mansion also features an aristocratic garden with large stones.
The interiors of the mansion were decorated in part by Ishigaki painter [[Kyuna Anshin|Kyûna Anshin]].<ref>"[http://ryukyushimpo.jp/news/storyid-41102-storytopic-121.html Kyûna Anshin]."
