In medieval times, when the fifty-day mourning was complete, heavy mourning was pardoned and appointments made. Later, when the fifty-day mourning was complete, family succession was announced through a representative, and courtesy visits were conducted after the heavy mourning period ended.

《Marginal note: [In red ink] Representatives also conducted courtesy visits to Senior Councilors on the same day. On Kōka 3, 5th month, 20th day, Atsumi Naoki's representative Nara Sukeemon did so.》

1. In cases of retirement succession: if the son is in a mourning period, mourning is pardoned and succession is granted.

1. Bunka 5, 7th month, 5th day: When Hishikawa Kuzaemon of the New Guard unit was granted rest, his adopted son Gonkichi's adoptive mother died and he was in mourning, but was pardoned from mourning for the adoptive mother and granted succession.

1. Kyōhō 16 (Year of the Boar), 2nd month, 17th day: Regarding successor matters, a handwritten directive was issued as follows:

Regarding family succession among retainers: those under fifteen years of age are appointed to stipend positions - this has been the law since previous generations. From this year forward, those fifteen years and under should be appointed to stipend positions as before. However, there are hereditary retainers and those whose parents serve faithfully. Hereafter, when successor sons reach fifteen years of age, those succeeding to fiefs should be appointed to fiefs, and those succeeding to provisional grants should be corrected accordingly. However, appointments should be made according to the conduct and service record of father and son. This directive should be urgently communicated to all retainers. End.

However, at that time, Senior Councilors made the announcement through a written directive as follows:
This time, regarding samurai succession matters, a handwritten directive has been issued, so we convey this document. Regarding the intent that young people granted succession should have their relatives provide even more constant care so that their upbringing may be proper. Moreover, when they reach fifteen years of age, that matter should be reported to us monthly duty officers. End.
