→Metsuke
I think it's correct. But I am not sure about "Metsuke were generally chosen from the ranks of Tsukaiban..."--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 06:02, 19 April 2007 (PDT)

This is an english translation of an interview with Yamaguchi Naoki, former Metsuke, published in the Kyuuji Shimonroku. I don't have the original Japanese:
:'''Interviewer''': What sort of person generally became a Metsuke?
:'''Yamaguchi Naoki''': The proper order to become a Metsuke was on the whole to be transfered from one of three offices, Tsukaiban, Kachigashira, or Kojuunin-Gashira. Or, as I just said, someone could come from the interior. It would be hard to turn those down. His Highness had tried them out in his own vicinity before they came to us, so...
:'''Interviewer''': When you say "from the interior", you mean from the ranks of the Konando and the Kosho?
:'''Yamaguchi Naoki''': Yes, I do.
Do you have any sources that talk about Metsuke? This is the only source I have. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 22:06, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
