 | | Roju ("Elder") was a very high position serving as council to the shogun, and could only be held by the Hotta, Li, Sakai, and Doi families. |
 | | Among the responsibilities of the Roju were relations with the Emperor and the Court, the Prince-Abbots, and supervision of the most powerful Daimyo families (10,000 koku holdings and greater). |
 | | Roju was an alternating position, and then a rotating position when there were more than two holding the title. |
