*''Japanese'': 大樹 ''(taiju)''
''Taiju'', literally meaning "great tree," was one of a number of terms frequently employed in the [[Edo period]] to refer to the [[Tokugawa shogunate|Tokugawa]] [[shogun]]. Others included ''[[kubo|kubô]]'' and ''[[taikun]]''.
The term derives, perhaps, from ''taiju shôgun'' 大樹将軍 (C: ''dàshù jiāngjūn''), a term used in the [[Book of Later Han]] to refer to [[Feng Yi]]<!--馮異-->, who sat under a tree and was modest while other generals boasted of their victories and received rewards.
