	Roju - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Under the reign of Tokugawa Tsunayoshi (1680-1709), however, the Rōjū lost nearly all their power, as the Shogun began to work more closely with the Tairō, Chamberlains, and others, including Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, who held the power of a Tairō, but not the title.
		The Rōjū became little more than messengers, going through the motions of their proper roles as intermediaries between the Shogun and other offices, but not being able to exercise any power to change or decide policy.
		As Arai Hakuseki, a major Confucian poet and politician of the time wrote, "All the Rōjū did was to pass on his [Yoshiyasu's] instructions" (Sansom 141).

	Brightsurf: The Pillow Book of Lady Wisteria (A Sano Ichiro Mystery) by Laura Joh Rowland
		That blithe reliance on formula had become evident by the third book "Way of the Traitor," which I consider the absolute worst of the series; reading each subsequent Ichiro novel has become a test of whether the minor changes in plot, characterization and setting are intriguing enough to overcome one's intense frustration with that formula.
		It becomes annoyingly clear to the reader that the reason there is never a decisive resolution to repeating plot devices (such as the Yanagisawa milieu,) is that they're being kept around as props for the next volume.
		The "Dog Shogun" Tokugawa Tsunayoshi and his administrative head Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, based on actual historic characters, are portrayed as, respectively, a near-senile fool and a near-superhuman villain.

		However, if the case were not difficult enough, the shogun’s chamberlain, Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, views Sano as a political rival and takes measures to ensure he fails.
		Blackmailed into spying for Yanagisawa, she carries a great deal of resentment toward samurai in general, but manages to relate to Sano on an individual basis despite herself.
		Instead of sympathizing with Yanagisawa, readers quickly become bored with his paranoid conviction that Sano wants to displace him as the shogun’s favorite.
