Upon Shô Ten's death in 1920, Shô Shô inherited his father's position as head of the Shô family, kôshaku (Marquis), and member of the House of Peers.

He married a woman named Momoko, with whom he had several children, including a son named Shô Hiroshi, and a daughter named Fumiko.

Shô Shô died three years later, in 1923, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Hiroshi.
