Jisha-bugyō

{{Italic title}}

{{nihongo||寺社奉行|Jisha-bugyō|lit. "temple and shrine commissioner"}} was a position within the system for the administration of religion that existed from the Muromachi period to the Edo period in 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.

This shogunate title assigns an official the responsibility of suspervising shrines and temples.Nussbaum, Louis-Frédéric. (2005). "Jisha-bugyō" in {{Google books|p2QnPijAEmEC|Japan Encyclopedia, p. 425.|page=425}} This was considered a high-ranking office, ranked only slightly below that of wakadoshiyori but above all other bugyō.
