*''Japanese'': 内間御殿 ''(Uchima udun)''
Uchima udun was an aristocratic mansion in what is today the town of Nishibaru, on [[Okinawa Island]]. The territory is chiefly associated with Kanamaru ([[Sho En|Shô En]]), who was named Lord of Uchima (''Uchima udun'') in [[1459]], and who retired to that territory in [[1461]], before taking over as King of [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]] in [[1469]].
A wooden plaque featuring the characters 「致和」 (''chiwa'', lit. "creating harmony," or "sending forth peace") handwritten by King [[Sho Kei|Shô Kei]] in [[1737]], was hung at the palace. This wooden plaque featuring royal calligraphy was used in the 20th century by US forces as a toilet seat.
