[Machine Translation] In the 260-odd years of the Edo shogunate, the Ranchu and Oro (senior councilors) were the central figures in the shogunate administration under successive Tokugawa shoguns. Surprisingly, however, the true nature of these positions is not well known. This book focuses on the Ranchu and Oro, who were the key figures in the Tokugawa shogunate system, and provides a thorough explanation of their positions, along with interesting episodes of their fame and achievements as well as their infamy and misbehavior. The first Edo reading material!
