*''Japanese'': 寺社[[奉行]] ''(jisha bugyou)''
The ''jisha bugyô'', or Temples & Shrines Magistrates, were [[Tokugawa shogunate]] officials who oversaw matters pertaining to [[Buddhist temples]] and [[Shinto shrines]]. The post was established and maintained beginning in [[1635]]. Five ''[[daimyo|daimyô]]'' shared the post at any given time; many of them served previously or afterward in positions such as [[Kyoto shoshidai]], [[Osaka jodai|Osaka jôdai]], or ''[[roju|rôjû]]''.
Along with the ''[[machi bugyo|Edo machi bugyô]]'' (Edo Town Magistrates) and ''[[kanjo bugyo|kanjô bugyô]]'' (Finance Magistrates), they were known as part of the Sanbugyô (Three Magistrates), one group of the most powerful officials in [[Edo]]; the ''Jisha bugyô'' were the highest-ranking of these three, with the most privileged seating position in formal audience ceremonies held within [[Edo castle]].<ref>Mitani Hiroshi, David Noble (trans.), ''Escape from Impasse'', International House of Japan (2006), xxviii.</ref> They were also members of the ''[[hyojosho|hyôjôsho]]'' (judicial council), along with these ''[[bugyo|bugyô]]'' and others.<ref> Mitani, xxx.</ref>
Though the ''jisha bugyô'' were initially responsible for overseeing the merchant and artisan districts of Edo, this responsibility was taken over by the ''Edo machi bugyô'' beginning in [[1746]].
