Shuri-jo in 2014-15

Tamaudun is the graveyard for the kings of the Second Sho Dynasty and their families and it is divided into two areas by walls. There are three stone rooms in the inner area: East Room, Middle Room, and West Room. The Middle Room was used to keep the dead body before the bone-washing ceremony.
