*''Titles'': 佐敷王子 ''(Prince Sashiki)''
*''Other Names'': [[尚]]文 ''(Shou Bun)''
*''Japanese'': [[佐敷]]朝益 ''(Sashiki Choueki)''
Prince Sashiki Chôeki, also known by his [[Ryukyuan names|Chinese-style name]] Shô Bun, was the second son of King [[Sho Ho|Shô Hô]] of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]].
In [[1634]], at age 21, the prince returned to Ryûkyû from a [[tribute]] mission to China, and traveled to [[Kagoshima]] to report on the tribute mission, and on his father's [[Chinese investiture envoys|investiture]] by the [[Ming Dynasty|Ming court]]. He was then pressed into leading a mission to [[Kyoto]], alongside his uncle Prince [[Kin Chotei|Kin Chôtei]], to serve as the king's representative in extending regards and performing submission to [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]]. Whether this Kyoto trip took place because [[Shimazu Iehisa]], lord of [[Satsuma han]], was in Kyoto, and that the prince therefore needed to go to Kyoto to report to the lord, or because of convenience (that he and Kin were already present in Kagoshima anyway), or whether this additional mission to the shogun was already in mind, is unclear. But, in any case, this mission (while an exception in some respects) set a precedent for seventeen further [[Ryukyuan embassies to Edo]] which then took place over the next two hundred years.
