- Kura-bugyō
were officials of the
Tokugawa shogunate inEdo period Japan.This "
bakufu " title identifies an official with responsibility for supervising cereal storehouses and accounting for rice received in payment of imposed taxes. [Hall, John Wesley. (1955) [http://books.google.com/books?id=x0WCAAAAIAAJ&q=kinzan+bugyo&dq=kinzan+bugyo&lr=&pgis=1 "Tanuma Okitsugu: Foreruner of Modern Japan," p. 201] ] The manner of paying taxes varied according to locality. In the "Kantō," payments were generally made in rice for wet fields and in gold for uplands. In the "Kinai " and western provinces, a slightly different formula was applied; but the payments were also received in both rice and gold. In the case of rice payments, the money would have been taken toEdo , toKyoto or toOsaka where it would be placed in shogunate storehouses which were under the control and supervision of the "kura-bugyo."
