Fushimi bugyo

were officials of the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo period Japan. Appointments to this prominent office were usually "fudai" daimyō, but this was amongst the senior administrative posts open to those who were not daimyō.Beasley, William G. (1955). "Select Documents on Japanese Foreign Policy, 1853-1868," p. 325.] Conventional interpretations have construed these Japanese titles as "commissioner" or "overseer" or "governor."

This "bakufu" tile identifies an official responsible for administration of the area near Fushimi, including the Kyoto barriers [Inahara, Katsuji "et al." (1931). [http://books.google.com/books?id=onvyd7dQRWUC&q=fushimi+barriers&dq=fushimi+barriers&pgis=1 "The Japan Year Book," p. 99.] ] and the location of Fushimi Castle which was dismantled in 1623. [see above] ]

This shogunate position was created in 1620. [Papinot, Edmund. (1948). [http://books.google.com/books?lr=&id=lP0QAAAAIAAJ&dq=fushimi+bugyo&q=fushimi+barrier&pgis=1#search "Historical and Geographical Dictionary of Japan," p. 111.] ]

During this period, Fushimi ranked with the largest urban centers, some of which were designated as a "shogunal city." The number of such cities rose from three to eleven under Tokugawa administration. [Cullen, Louis M. (2003). [http://books.google.com/books?id=ycY_85OInSoC&pg=PA27&vq=bugyo&dq=++uraga+bugyo&source=gbs_search_r&cad=0_2&sig=Lz-lqppSwmB5wSYUxXfVmEMCrBw#PPA59,M1 "A History of Japan, 1582-1941: Internal and External Worlds," p. 159.] ] Fushimi had its own "bugyō" because it was an important communication nexus on the north-south route. [Jansen, Marius B. (1995).
