Sashiki gusuku was a fortress and sacred site in southern Okinawa, in what is today Nanjô City. It was the seat of power of both [[Sho Shisho|Shô Shishô]] and [[Sho Hashi|Shô Hashi]] in the late 14th to early 15th centuries prior to them seizing the throne of the kingdom of [[Chuzan|Chûzan]]. Shô Shishô is buried at [[Sashiki yodore|Sashiki yôdore]], a royal tomb nearby but outside of the ''gusuku'' grounds.<ref>Smits, ''Maritime Ryukyu'', University of Hawaii Press (2019), 117.</ref>
Following the overthrow of the First Shô Dynasty and establishment of the Second Shô Dynasty by [[Sho En|Shô En]] in [[1470]], Sashiki was left to simply fall into ruin. Tsukishiro Shrine, established on the grounds by Shô Hashi, was later rebuilt in 1938.
