*''Japanese'': 元老 ''(genrô)''
The ''genrô'' were a group of the most prominent and influential advisors to the [[Meiji Emperor]]. Though the term is often translated as "elder statesmen," it does not actually refer to prominent or "elder" [[Meiji period]] statesmen in general, but to those specifically selected by the emperor and appointed by imperial order to serve as his advisors.<ref>Most of the ''genrô'' were appointed by an order known as ''genkun yûgû'' (lit. "warm reception as an elder statesman"), but some were appointed through more generic orders.
