Jisha-bugyō (寺社奉行) was a "commissioner" or an "overseer" of the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo period Japan. Appointments to this prominent office were always fudai daimyōs, 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. [2] This was considered a high-ranking office, in status ranked only slightly below that of wakadoshiyori but above all other bugyō. [1]
