現代語訳
の場所で色々と雑談に及び、さらに氏僚が下向する時、山本
町の角で待ち受けて、重ね重ね過言に及んだ。これにより氏僚は止むを得ず鞭で
払ったところ、かえって杖を執って向かってきて、烏帽子等を破却してしまった。氏僚は
思うところがあったが、神事の装束の体であるため、その意に任せることができないところ、
近辺の者が出向いて引き退かせ、氏僚については六兵衛を私
宅に追い帰した。六兵衛の始末は神事を憚らず、土民の身でありながら慮
外の段に及んだことは言語道断で言いようがない事である。これにより氏僚から破
却された烏帽子を持参して馬所に訴え申し上げ、この子細はもっともなこととして一社の
沙汰となった。詳細を左に記すものである。
氏僚が帰宅した後、虎市大夫保寅と助太郎大夫氏寿の
両使者を遣わし、破却された烏帽子を馬所の正祢宜保喬の許に持参し、
子細を具体的に申し達したところ、内房から返答があり、「保喬は今馬場に
出ており候。右の趣旨は承っておき候条、帰宅の節に申し聞かせ
候。烏帽子については先ず持ち帰らせるべき」旨、再度申し聞かされたが、その
まま置いて両使者は退出した。
次に虎市大夫保寅と三七大夫季加の両使者を遣わして初乗
中並びに左右階下に申し達して了わった。承り届けた旨の返答があったとのこと。
後刻、宮内少輔保喬の許から使者として左近将曹由顕が
来て口状を述べて言うには、「先刻御使者を預かり候節、馬場に出ており即答能わず
候。然らば仰せ聞かされた次第を承知致し、則ち烏帽子

at that place engaged in various idle talk, and furthermore when Ujiryo was departing, lay in wait at the corner of Yamamoto-
chō and repeatedly made excessive remarks. Due to this, Ujiryo had no choice but to strike with his whip,
whereupon the man instead took up a staff and confronted him, destroying his court cap and other items. Although Ujiryo had
his own thoughts on the matter, since he was dressed in the formal attire of a Shinto ritual and could not act as he wished,
nearby people came forward to separate them and sent Ujiryo away, while Rokubei was chased back to his private
residence. Rokubei's conduct of showing no regard for the sacred ceremony and, despite being a commoner, acting in such an outrageous
manner was utterly inexcusable and beyond words. Therefore, Ujiryo brought the destroyed
court cap to the horse office to lodge a complaint about these circumstances, which was deemed reasonable and became a matter for discussion by the entire shrine
community. The details are recorded below.
After Ujiryo returned home, he sent both Toraichi-dayū Yasutora and Suketarō-dayū Ujihisa as
messengers, who brought the destroyed court cap to the horse office of Head Priest Yasutaka and
reported the details in full. The inner quarters responded: "Yasutaka is currently at
the horse grounds. We have noted the circumstances you have reported, and will inform him
when he returns home. As for the court cap, it should first be taken back." Although this was conveyed twice, they
left it there and both messengers departed.
Next, he sent both Toraichi-dayū Yasutora and Sanshichi-dayū Sueka as messengers to report to
the first riders and those below the left and right steps, which was completed. There was a response confirming receipt of the message.
Later, from Kunai-shōyū Yasutaka's residence, Sakon-shōsō Yoshiaki came as
a messenger and delivered an oral statement saying: "When I received your messenger earlier, I was at the horse grounds and could not respond immediately.
However, I have now understood what was conveyed to me, and regarding the court cap
