Kōke
A kōke (高家, lit. "high families") during the Tokugawa Shogunate (or Edo period) in Japan generally referred to the hereditary position of the "Master of Ceremonies," held by certain fief-less samurai ranking below a daimyō. Historically, or in a more general context, the term may refer to a family of old lineage and distinction.
Perhaps the most famous Master of Ceremonies in history was Kira Yoshinaka aka Kira Kōzuke no suke (吉良上野介), the real-life model of the villain avenged in the tale of the Forty-seven Ronin of Akō.
Overview
The office of kōke is typically translated "Master of Ceremonies" or "Master of Court Ceremony"
The men who kōke position performed such roles as that of the courier carrying the shogun's messages to the Imperial court in Kyoto, or one of a reception committee for hosting the Imperial Envoys at Edo. They also represented the shogun in certain functions held at Nikkō and other shrines or temples, and regulated courtly ceremonies and rites observed in the Edo Castle.
