Administrative divisions of the Ryukyu Kingdom

Under the system of Shō Shin the central government at Shuri assigned each village a noro priestess to carry out the religious functions of the settlement.

[12] The magiri system continued to varying degrees in the Amami Islands even after they were ceded to Satsuma Domain in 1624.

[13] In 1907, under Imperial Edict 46 [ja], the Japanese administrative system of cities, towns, and village organization was extended to Okinawa.

Nakagami District (中頭方, Nakagami-hō, also known as Okinawan: 上方, romanized: Wiikata)[17] or Chūzan-fu (中山府) in Kanbun,[16] roughly correspond to the territory of Chūzan during the Sanzan period.

Shimajiri District (島尻方, Shimajiri-hō, also known as Okinawan: 下方, romanized: Shimukata)[20] or Nanzan-fu (南山府) in Kanbun,[16] roughly correspond to the territory of Nanzan during the Sanzan period.
