Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu in popular culture
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. Rowland's chronology differs from history by having Yanagisawa exiled in disgrace in 1694 and being replaced by Sano as Tsunayoshi's chief advisor. Other details of Yanagisawa's life, however, are portrayed fairly accurately, including his relationship to the shogun.
