Talk:Tamaudun

Eastern Chamber (non-kings) entry

This entry (Shō Shō (unknown), Crown Princess of Shō Ten) which I have removed here for discussing/confirmation appears confusing. AFAIK, Shō Shō was the son of Shō Ten, and was buried in Tokyo. On another Wikipedia language's page, the entry translated to Crown Prince, and another had Sho Ten's wife by another name, so am slightly confused...

@Jabberjawjapan: As Sho Ten was the last of the family to be buried at Tamaudun, it's not possible for anyone else to have been buried there (obviously). ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 05:00, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Then that only re-confirms my suspicions and confusion about this entry then, and adds weight to its current removal. If there are sources available from which the list was drawn, perhaps they should be consulted and rechecked. In the case of Sho Ten's wife being called Sho Sho (hence "Crown Princess" as cited), and his son also being called Sho Sho as well, then perhaps a rewording of the entry to "Crown Princess (wife) of Shō Ten" may work. It is also possible she pre-deceased her husband, still allowing him to be the last interred there. Jabberjawjapan (talk) 10:53, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

@Jabberjawjapan: Unfortunately I think you'd have to physically go there to verify this. This was used as a source for the list, but I don't know the Chinese characters for this mystery person's name. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 17:16, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

The name reads, I am told, as "wife of sho ten". There has to be some reason she is last on the list - I would assume she might have been the last interred, but her husband was the last who was formally buried (with traditional rites). Anyway, she is back in the list - feel free to adjust if you feel necessary. Jabberjawjapan (talk) 13:24, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
