About Sh Tai
- Sho Tai (??, Chinese pinyin: Shang Tai; 3 August 1843 – 19 August 1901) was the last king of the Ryukyu Kingdom (8 June 1848 – 10 October 1872) and the head of the Ryukyu Domain (10 October 1872 – 27 March 1879).
- His reign saw greatly increased interactions with travelers from abroad, particularly from Europe and the United States, as well as the eventual end of the kingdom and its annexation by Japan as Ryukyu Domain (later Okinawa Prefecture).
- In 1879, the deposed king was forced to relocate to Tokyo.
- In May 1885, in compensation, he was made a Koshaku (??, Marquess), the second tier of nobility within the Kazoku peerage system.
