Ueki Emori was a prominent [[Meiji period]] political writer and member of the [[Freedom and People's Rights Movement]] (''Jiyû minken undô'').
In [[1880]], he argued against the [[Ryukyu shobun|annexation]] of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] the previous year, since there were no grounds for annexation, and since undoing the annexation would place Japan in a good light in the eyes of the world community, setting a precedent for a new form of East Asian international relations.
