当旧藩は古来ゟ武芸之修練励敷弓馬
鎗釼柔砲術兵学不残免状尚其内印可
古老に取成候も不少何れも一流に達せさる族
なかりしが夫故学文之道左程に無之中には
無筆文盲之人ありて滑稽之話未に出す
然処 当老君慶永卿御相続以来文
武両道共種々御尽力当勤は勿論子
弟厄介に至迄日々書附を以御改出精之者
候は夫々之御褒賞を賜り不容易御引立
現代語訳
当旧藩は古来より武芸の修練を励まし、弓馬・槍剣・柔術・砲術・兵学すべてについて免状を出し、なおその中でも印可を古老に取り成す者も少なくなく、いずれも一流に達しない者はいなかった。しかしそれ故に学問の道はそれほど重視されず、中には無筆文盲の人もあって、滑稽な話が未だに出るほどである。
ところが、当老君慶永卿が御相続以来、文武両道ともに種々御尽力され、当勤（現職）はもちろん、子弟や厄介に至るまで、日々書付をもって御改めになり、精進する者には それぞれの御褒賞を賜り、並々ならぬ御引立てをなさっている。
英語訳
Our former domain has since ancient times encouraged the training of martial arts, issuing certificates in archery and horsemanship, spear and sword techniques, jujutsu, gunnery, and military science. Moreover, among these, there were not a few who received formal recognition (inka) from elder masters, and there was no one who failed to reach mastery in their respective disciplines. However, because of this emphasis on martial arts, the way of learning and scholarship was not given much importance, and there were even some who were illiterate and unable to write, leading to humorous anecdotes that persist to this day.
However, since Lord Yoshinaga succeeded to his position, he has devoted great effort to both literary and martial arts. From active retainers to children and dependents, he conducts daily reviews through written reports, grants appropriate rewards to those who show diligence, and provides extraordinary support and advancement.
