The ''Fuyô no ma'', or Hibiscus Chamber, was an anteroom in [[Edo castle]], to which certain officials were assigned. As such, it was used as a metonym for that group of officials, which included the ''[[kanjo bugyo|kattekata kanjô bugyô]]'', ''kattekata kanjô ginmiyaku'', ''kattekata ômetsuke'' and ''[[metsuke]]'', and the ''[[ongoku bugyo|ongoku bugyô]]''.

When consulted as a group, the ''Fuyô no ma'' officials were paired or opposed with the officials of the ''[[Hyojosho|Hyôjôsho]]'', who in the late [[Edo period]] were typically much more conservative.
