Sadoyama Anji

Sadoyama Ueekata Anji (佐渡山 親方 安治, ? – ?) also known by Onna Ueekata Anji (恩納 親方 安治) and his Chinese style name Mō Kokuzui (毛 国瑞), was a bureaucrat of Ryukyu Kingdom.

Anji was the second son of Ikegusuku Ansei (池城 安成). In 1673, Onna magiri (恩納間切, mordern Onna, Okinawa) was established, and granted to Anji as his hereditary fief.[1] He was the originator of Mō-shi Sadoyama Dunchi (毛氏佐渡山殿内).[2]

He was sent to Miyako and Yaeyama to carry out political reform in 1678. King Shō Tei dispatched Prince Nago Chōgen (名護 朝元, also known as Shō Kōjin 尚 弘仁) and him in 1682 to celebrate Tokugawa Tsunayoshi succeeded as shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. In the next year, Prince Nago died in Kagoshima, and Anji sailed back to Ryukyu.[3]

Anji served as a member of Sanshikan from 1688 to 1693.[4]
