Ryô Kôchi was a Ryukyuan scholar-official, who served as a musician (gakushi) on the 1806 Ryukyuan mission to Edo.
Kôchi succeeded his father as jitô of Tôma, in Nakagusuku magiri, in 1773. He studied in China for three years beginning at age 25, and later served for a time as an interpreter (tsûji). In 1804, at age 36, he was appointed to serve as a gakushi on the upcoming mission to Edo; he then did so, traveling to Edo with the mission in 1806.[1]
A piece of his calligraphy, copied onto a wooden plaque (hengaku) by the Japanese haikai poet Kurita Chodô, can be found today in the main hall (hondô) at Manshû-ji in the Inland Sea port town of Mitarai (today, part of Kure City, Hiroshima prefecture); the temple also holds the original calligraphic work, on a scroll, in its storehouses.[2]
