Jisha-bugyō
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.Beasley, William G. (1955). ''Select Documents on Japanese Foreign Policy, 1853–1868'', p. 323. 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.''
