Yuntanza Chōken

Yuntanza Wōji Chōken (読谷山 王子 朝憲), also known by Yuntanza Chōkō (読谷山 朝恒) and his Chinese style name Shō Wa (尚 和), was a prince of Ryukyu Kingdom.

Prince Yuntanza was the second son of King Shō Kei, and was a full-brother of King Shō Boku. He was given Yuntanza magiri (読谷山間切, modern Yomitan) as his hereditary fief, and established a new royal family: Yuntanza Udun (読谷山御殿).

Prince Yuntanza was dispatched along with Wakugawa Chōkyō (湧川 朝喬, also known by Shō Hōten 向 邦鼎) in 1764 to celebrate Tokugawa Ieharu's success as shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate. They sailed back in the next year.

He served as sessei from 1770 to 1785. He was good at Ryūka and was designated as a member of the Okinawan Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry (沖縄三十六歌仙).
