Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu (Japanese: 柳沢 吉保, December 31, 1658 – December 8, 1714) was a Japanese samurai of the Edo period. He was an official in the Tokugawa shogunate and he was a favorite of the fifth shogun, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.[1]
Career
He served Tsunayoshi from an early age, becoming his wakashū and eventually rose to the position of soba yōnin.[citation needed] He was the daimyō of the Kawagoe han, and later of the Kōfu han; he retired in 1709.[citation needed] Having previously been named Yasuakira, he received a kanji from the name of the shogun, and came to call himself Yoshiyasu.[citation needed] He built Rikugien Garden, a traditional Japanese garden, in 1695. He had an adopted son named Yanagisawa Yoshisato by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi with Yoshiyasu's concibune, Sumeko.[clarification needed]
Yanagisawa played a pivotal role in the matter of the forty-seven rōnin.[citation needed]
Cultural references
Yanagisawa appears as a character in most of the novels by American mystery writer Laura Joh Rowland set in Genroku-era Japan as the antagonist to the books' main character Sano Ichiro.[citation needed] Rowland's chronology differs from history by having Yanagisawa exiled in disgrace in 1694 and being replaced by Sano as Tsunayoshi's chief advisor, only to return from exile later in the series.[citation needed] Other details of Yanagisawa's life, however, are portrayed fairly accurately, including his relationship to the shogun.[citation needed]
