The title was initially assigned to two ''daimyōs'', but was subsequently increased to up to twenty-four, who performed their duties in rotation. The ''Sōshaban'' were also responsible for managing the guard of Edo Castle at night. After 1658, the four ''Jisha-bugyō'' came to be selected from the ranks of the ''Sōshaban'', who continued to hold their original title concurrently; the title was also restricted to ...

Green Tea
Green tea is a type of tea that is made from '' Camellia sinensis'' leaves and buds that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process which is used to make oolong teas and black teas. Green tea originated in China, and since then its production and manufacture has spread to other countries in East Asia. Several varieties of green tea exist, which differ substantially based on the variety of ''C. sinensis'' used, growing conditions, horticultural methods, production processing, and time of harvest. The two main components unique to green tea are "catechins" and "theanine," and the health effects of these components are attracting a great deal of attention in Japan and abroad. History Tea consumption has its legendary origins in China during the reign of mythological Emperor Shennong. A book written by Lu Yu in 618–907 AD (Tang dynasty), ''The Classic of Tea'' (), is considered important in green tea history. The ''Kissa Yōjōki'' (喫茶養生記 ''Book ...
