The Sakurada mansion burned down numerous times over the course of the period, as was standard in the city. Two of these occasions were on [[1615]]/9/21, when the [[Choshu Edo mansion|Chôshû domain mansion]] burned down, and the Shimazu Sakurada mansion caught fire and was lost as well, and on [[1621]]/1/23, when it burned down again.<ref> Yokoyama Manabu 横山学, ''Ryûkyû koku shisetsu torai no kenkyû'' 琉球国使節渡来の研究, Tokyo: Yoshikawa kôbunkan (1987), 48.</ref>
The Sakurada mansion was also known as the ''shôzoku yashiki'' (lit. "costume mansion"), as it was there that the members of Ryukyuan missions changed costume on their way to and from formal audiences at [[Edo castle]].
