君南風由来並位階且公事

This document described the origins of the highest-ranking priestess “Kimihae Chinbe” who had resided in Kume Island. And also the administrative rank and status, affairs of the state, and rituals and ceremonies of the Ryukyu Kingdom are included. The old songs”Kuwaina” and “Omoro” used in the rituals are also included. This is a valuable historical material to learn old songs from the 1700’s. At the last page in this document, interesting memorandums by Nakahara were found. In his note, the historical trail and transcription process of this material are shown. This document was originally in the possession of Nakachi family in Gushikawa Magiri. After a teacher at Okinawa Shihan school(teacher’s school ) named Saito Tomekichi borrowed this document in 1897, and it was lost. After Nakahara knew that Iha Fuyu owned this document, he borrowed and transcribed it in 1938. Iha Fuyu referred to “Ryukyu Kokinki ” written by Tajima insisting that this document was compiled in 1743, but Nakahara regarded it as untrue. And also, Nakahara left note saying that In Okinawa Library, there was a book called “Kimihaeno siso denki”, and this book was revised twice and published in 1743.
