Jisha-bugyō

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jisha-bugyō (寺社奉行 Jisha-bugyō?) were officials of the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo period Japan. Appointments to this prominent office were always fudai daimyō, the lowest-ranking of the shogunate offices to be so restricted.[1] Conventional interpretations have construed these Japanese titles as "commissioner" or "overseer."

This bakufu title identifies an official with responsibility for supervision of shrines and temples. This was considered a high ranking office, in status ranked only slightly below that of wakadoshiyori but above all other bugyō.[1]
