衣冠を着用し、片御料（片方の御料）を奉仕した。もっとも、装束の類はかねてより三手書籍奉行中より申し出があったものである。
文政七（甲申）年
正月（大の月）
元日（乙丑）晴。社頭は静謐であり、めでたいことである。早朝に年始の御神事があり、闕職（欠員）の氏神祝の代わりに代官役・正四位下・経千が参勤した。寅の半刻（午前四時頃）に神人が御参の案内をする一度目の時に浴湯（湯浴み）をし、二度目の案内の時に束帯を着用し、三度目の御参の前に出門した。白丁（雑色）壱人を召し連れ、沓を持たせ、湯屋の切屏（仕切り屏風）の方より進んで、奈良社の御前にて沓を履き、一拝した。侍所の南西の口より昇り、次の間（祝方）の西上・南面に着座した。もっとも、沓揖・座揖などは常の通りである。社司二十一人が揃った時、所司の賢清が東の口より入って来て、御揃いであれば神供を立てるべきか、と尋ねた。神主・信平卿より立てるべき旨の返答があった。各々起座し、北の口にて手水を随意に取った後、西南の口より降りて沓を履いた。奈良社の御前を通る時に横過の揖をし、三鳥居・奈良橋・二鳥居などを経て、土屋に着座した。祝方は西上・南面で、東の軒下を曲がり上がって着座した。沓揖・座揖は常の通りである。次に、神供が進発する時、社司は座に就いたまま各々敬屈（頭を垂れて敬意を示す）し、神供が過ぎ去ってから各々起座した。祢宜は祢宜橋を経て、祝は祝橋を経て、玉橋の南の辺りにおいて、陰陽大夫が衣冠を着したまま立ち、一人ずつ社司の身体を祓った。各々正笏（笏を正しく持つ）してこれを受けた。諏訪・片岡社などへ一拝した後、祢宜方は玉橋を経て、祝（方）は渡殿を経て、新宮御門より唐門へ進み、社々を巡拝し終わって、若宮拝殿の西柱の間より昇った。その時、垂裾（裾を垂らす）にして、各々唐戸の内、某座の程にて一拝し、着座して揖をし、裾を操った。ただし、正祝より新宮祝までは南面し、太田祝より氏神祝までは北面する。次に御戸が開かれると、各々勤座・平伏した。次に二人ずつ（続く）

—wore court dress (ikan) and performed the partial offering service (kata goryō). The court robes and accessories had been previously requisitioned through the Three-Office Book Magistrates (sante shoseki bugyō).
**Bunsei 7 (Kinoe-Saru / 1824)**
**First Month (a long month of 30 days)**
**New Year's Day (Kinoto-Ushi), Fine weather.** The shrine precincts were peaceful and quiet—most auspicious! Early in the morning, the New Year's sacred rites were performed. In place of the vacant ujigami hafuri position, the daikan official of Junior Fourth Rank Lower Grade (shōshii ge), Keisen, attended. At the half-quarter of the Hour of the Tiger (approximately 4:00 a.m.), when the shrine servants (jinnin) gave the first announcement of the procession, he took his ritual bath (yokutō); at the second announcement, he donned his sokutai (full court dress); and before the third announcement of the procession, he left his gate. He took with him one white-robed attendant (hakuchō) to carry his shoes, advanced from behind the screen (kiribyo) of the bathhouse, put on his shoes before the Nara Shrine, performed a single bow (ippai), and then ascended through the southwest entrance of the侍所 (samurai quarters). He took his seat at the upper-west, south-facing position in the next room (designated for the hafuri group). The shoe-bow (kutsu yū) and seated bow (zayū) were performed in the customary manner. When all twenty-one shrine officials (shashi) had assembled, the superintendent (shoshi) Kensei entered through the east entrance and asked whether the sacred offerings (shinku) should now be set up, since everyone had gathered. Shrine chief (kannagi) Lord Nobuhira replied that they should proceed. Each person rose from their seat; after washing their hands (temizu) at the north entrance as they wished, they descended through the southwest entrance and put on their shoes. When passing before the Nara Shrine, they performed the crossing-bow (ōka no yū); proceeding through the Third Torii, the Nara Bridge, the Second Torii, and so forth, they arrived and took their seats in the Tsuchiya (earthen building). The hafuri group sat at the upper-west, south-facing position, ascending by going around the east eave. The shoe-bow and seated bow were performed as customary. Next, when the sacred offerings began their procession, the shrine officials, remaining seated, each made a reverent bow (keikutsu); after the offerings had passed, they all rose. The negi (junior priests) proceeded via the Negi Bridge, and the hafuri (senior priests) via the Hafuri Bridge; at the southern side of the Tama Bridge, the Onmyō Dayū (Master of Yin-Yang), wearing court dress, stood and purified (harae) the bodies of the shrine officials one by one. Each held their ceremonial baton (shaku) upright and received the purification. After performing a single bow at the Suwa and Kataoka Shrines, the negi group proceeded via the Tama Bridge and the hafuri group via the Watadono (passage building), advancing from the Shinmiya Gate to the Tang Gate (Karamon). After completing the circuit worship (junpai) of the various shrines, they ascended through the space between the west pillars of the Wakamiya Worship Hall. At that time, with trailing robes (suigyo), each performed a single bow within the Tang-style doors at approximately the designated seating position, then sat down, performed the seated bow, and arranged their robes. The arrangement was: from the head hafuri (shōhafuri) down to the Shinmiya hafuri, they faced south; from the Ōta hafuri down to the ujigami hafuri, they faced north. Next, when the sacred doors were opened, each performed the duty of seated prostration (kinza/ heifuku). Then, two persons at a time— (continues)
