*''Date: [[1713]]''
*''Japanese'': 琉球国由来記 ''(Ryuukyuu koku yuraiki)''
The ''Ryûkyû-koku yuraiki'' is a text compiled by the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyûan]] royal government c. [[1713]].
The text includes descriptions of numerous aspects of the kingdom, including the architecture and layout of [[Shuri castle]], aspects of court music, and the organization of government posts and offices, as well as certain aspects of history and geography of the kingdom more broadly.
It was later translated by [[Tei Heitetsu]] into a [[Chinese language]] version, entitled ''[[Ryukyu-koku kyuki|Ryûkyû-koku kyûki]]''. This was completed in [[1731]].
