The main seat was appointed next to Uzen as stated above.

The next day, the 6th, seating was appointed next to Suganuma Yoichirō. As succession was appointed yesterday, seating was suspended, but as the above was announced, Honda Shirōemon conveyed instructions to monthly duty presenter Ōtani Sukeroku at the lord's quarters to communicate this. However, from this time forward, for succession of assembly members, guard captains, etc., seating should be appointed to the fourth position, three places down from their parent's position, as decided before the lord. However, if there are special circumstances, matters according to the lord's will are exceptional.

Regarding Motome's seating, as he had served in office in recent years and inheritance matters had good seating appointments, it was inquired whether Motome's seating should also be appointed within the upper and lower positions of Ariga Kyokujin, and seating was announced next to Kyokujin. The seating of high-ranking retainers has been assigned according to the lord's will at the time.
