Anji was the second son of Ikegusuku Ansei (池城 安成). In 1673, Onna magiri (恩納間切, modern Onna, Okinawa) was established, and granted to Anji as his hereditary fief.[1] He was the originator of Mō-uji Sadoyama Dunchi (毛氏佐渡山殿内).[2]
He was sent to Miyako and Yaeyama to carry out political reform in 1678. King Shō Tei dispatched Prince Nago Chōgen (名護 朝元, also known as Shō Kōjin 尚 弘仁) and him in 1682 to celebrate Tokugawa Tsunayoshi succeeded as shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate. In the next year, Prince Nago died in Kagoshima, and Anji sailed back to Ryukyu.[3]
