Nara bugyō
None
Nara bugyō ( 奈良奉行 ) were officials of the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo period Japan. Appointments to this prominent office were usually fudai daimyōs , but this was amongst the senior administrative posts open to those who were not daimyōs . [1] Conventional interpretations have construed these Japanese titles as "commissioner" or "overseer" or "governor".
This bakufu tile identifies an official responsible for administration of the pre- Heian capital city of Nara . The numbers of men holding the title concurrently would vary over time. [1]
Shogunal city
During this period, Nara 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. [2]
