Most of the famous 'Ooka Judgments'—such as the child custody dispute (two mothers claiming one child) and the 'three-way loss of one ryo'—are actually fictional stories borrowed from Chinese classics and rakugo. The Edo-period publication 'Ooka Seidan' became wildly popular as material for storytelling and theater, but its content was almost entirely fiction. However, the real Tadasuke was far from an ordinary bureaucrat. During the Kyoho Reforms, he implemented policies directly affecting commoners' lives: operating suggestion boxes, establishing the Koishikawa Medical Facility, and organizing neighborhood fire brigades. His actual court records reveal a judge who ruled fairly based on evidence rather than emotion. The image of 'wise judge' may be fiction, but history confirms his reality as a wise administrator.
