このことは、先規では庁屋の座において直会を行っていたところ、去る冬に刀祢中より願い出があったため、摂社の分については神事ごとにこのように（拝殿で直会を行うこととする）、とのことであった。
（直会が）終わって退下し、一・二鳥居（の間）に入るも沓を履かないまま、社頭西の口より昇って預大夫へ御鑰を返納した。二・三鳥居を経て奈良社御前に着き、沓を履いて一拝した。同じく拝殿より昇って庁屋へ向かい、祝方は西上・南面に着座した。その時、裾は垂らさなかった。社司・精進頭等が揃った後、刀祢が神供・屠蘇・三献の神供をすべて通じ終えた。刀祢が「（神供を）通した」旨を申し上げると、その時、各々が起座し、祢宜・祝ともに南の縁より降りてそのまま沓を履き、三鳥居・奈良石橋等を経て、二鳥居前の東西の芝の上において、社司二十一人にて四方拝の儀を行った。祢宜方は西、祝方は東で、左右ともに畳三帖ずつを敷いて各々裾を垂らして着座した。当年は甲年（きのえどし）にあたるため、祝方より二拝、次に祢宜方より二拝とし、沓揖・座揖は常の通りとした。（これが）終わって退散した。奈良橋より巴垣へ出て、太田社まで巡参した。退下は巳の半刻（午前10時頃）ばかりであった。

三日（丁卯）晴れ。卯杖の御神事。正卯刻（午前6時）である。闕職（けっしょく）により、氏神祝の代官役・経千が参勤するにあたって、未明に湯浴みして衣冠を着し、払暁（夜明け前）に御参した。案内（の者）に聞いて直ちに出門し、供一人（帯刀）を召し連れて沓を持たせた。ただし、今日の御参は先例では一度のみである。湯屋の切屏（仕切り屏風）より三鳥居を経て、二鳥居にて沓を履き、細殿の軒下・樟橋・桜門・中門を経て、妻戸より直会所に昇った。なお、社頭の社司が揃った後、神主・信平卿より「所司・下役人が揃ったか」との旨を尋ねられ、「揃った」旨を答えた。次に各々が直会所北の口において手水をとり、沓を履いて神前に参進し、各々それぞれの座の程（あたり）にて一拝・着座し、沓揖・座揖・昇降の場所等は例の通りとした。その時、所司が唐戸の内に来て、「祝方が御揃いでしたら卯杖を立てましょうか」との旨を尋ね、祝・重殖卿が「揃った」旨を返答した。次に陰陽大夫が衣冠を着して来て、社司一人ずつの身体を祓った。次に祝が参進して御戸を開き、各々が動座・平伏した。次に例の通り、二人ずつ並んで土居にて一拝し、各々が階上・階下に列した。氏神祝は例の通り社務代と（並んで）…

Regarding this matter: according to precedent, the naorai (communal feast) was held in the seated area of the chōya (administrative hall). However, following a petition from the tōne group in the previous winter, it was determined that for the subsidiary shrines (sessha), this arrangement (holding the naorai in the haiden) would henceforth be followed for each divine rite. With that explanation concluded, they withdrew.
After entering between the First and Second Torii without putting on their shoes, they ascended through the western entrance of the shrine grounds and returned the sacred key (omikagi) to the Azukari Dayū. Passing through the Second and Third Torii, they arrived before the Nara Shrine, put on their shoes, and performed a single bow. They then ascended from the haiden (worship hall) to the chōya, where the hafuri group took their seats in the upper-western, south-facing position. At this time, they did not lower their trailing robes. After the shrine officials (shashi) and shōjin-gashira (fasting heads) had assembled, the tōne completed the presentation of the shinku (sacred offerings), tōso (spiced sake), and all three rounds of sake offerings. When the tōne announced that the offerings had been duly presented, everyone rose from their seats. Both the negi and hafuri descended from the southern veranda and put on their shoes directly, then proceeded through the Third Torii, the Nara Stone Bridge, and other landmarks to arrive in front of the Second Torii. There, on the grass to the east and west, twenty-one shrine officials conducted the Shihōhai ceremony (ritual obeisance to the four directions). The negi group was positioned to the west and the hafuri group to the east; on both sides, three tatami mats were spread out, and each person lowered their trailing robes and took their seat. Since the current year was a kinoe (甲) year, the hafuri group performed two bows first, followed by the negi group performing two bows. The shoe-bow and seated bow were performed in the customary manner. After this concluded, they dispersed. Exiting through the Nara Bridge toward the Tomoe-gaki (巴垣 / crescent-shaped fence), they made circuit worship visits up to the Ōta Shrine. Their withdrawal was at around the midpoint of the mi (巳) hour (approximately 10 a.m.).

The Third Day (Hinoto-u / 丁卯). Clear skies. The U-no-tsue (卯杖) divine rite. The time is the exact u (卯) hour (6 a.m.). Due to a vacancy in the post (ketsushoku), the ujigami hafuri's deputy official, Keisen, was attending in service. He bathed before dawn, donned his court dress (ikan), and proceeded to the shrine before daybreak. Inquiring with the guide, he immediately departed through the gate, bringing one attendant (wearing a sword) who was ordered to carry his shoes. Note that, according to precedent, today's visit to the shrine occurs only once. From the privacy screen (kiribyōbu) of the bathhouse, he passed through the Third Torii, put on his shoes at the Second Torii, and proceeded along the eave of the Hosodono, through the Kusunoki Bridge (Shōkyō), the Sakura Gate, the Middle Gate, and entered the Naorai-dokoro (直会所, communal feast hall) through the side door (tsumado). Once the shrine officials at the shrine grounds had assembled, the Head Priest (kannagi), Lord Nobuhira, inquired whether the shōji officials and lower-ranking attendants had assembled. The reply was given that they had. Next, each person performed ritual hand-washing (temizu) at the north entrance of the naorai-dokoro, put on their shoes, advanced before the deity, performed a single bow at the appropriate place for each person's seat, took their seats, and carried out the shoe-bow, seated bow, and protocols for ascending and descending in the customary manner. At that time, the shōji official came inside the Chinese-style doors (karado) and asked, "If the hafuri group is assembled, shall we erect the u-no-tsue?" The hafuri, Lord Shigeoki, replied that they were assembled. Next, the Onmyō Dayū (Master of Yin-Yang) came dressed in court attire and performed purification (harae) on each shrine official one by one. The hafuri then advanced, opened the sacred doors, and each person shifted their seated position and prostrated themselves. Then, as per precedent, two persons at a time lined up and performed a single bow at the doi (earthen platform), and each took their positions above and below the steps. The ujigami hafuri, as per precedent, (stood alongside the shamu-dai)...
