英語訳
(Continued from previous page)
- In the tenth month of the same year (Kansei 3, Year of the Boar), he was appointed as a page (*okoshō*) to Lord Teishō, and his stipend for duties (*oyakuryō*) continued to be granted as before.
- In the ninth month of Kansei 4 (Year of the Rat), as per his request, he was relieved of his position as page, reassigned to the Aizu Katte Tozama-gumi (outside retainer unit), placed under the command of Ibuka Kenmotsu's unit, and performed castle guard duty (*oshiro goban*).
- In the ninth month of Kansei 5 (Year of the Ox), he participated in the *oitori-gari* (a falconry/game hunt conducted as a military exercise).
Note: After this, he participated six more times, and on four of those occasions, he made kills.
- In the fourth month of Kansei 6 (Year of the Tiger), regarding last autumn's *oitori-gari*, it was noted that the formation, marching pace, and maneuvers had been well coordinated, and that this was deemed to reflect the diligent practice of combined-unit drills undertaken beforehand. The entire unit received commendation (*shōbi*) from the lord.
Note: After this, commendation was received on each subsequent occasion as well.
- In the fourth month of Kansei 9 (Year of the Snake), as the unit commander (*kashira*) Ibuka Kenmotsu was relieved of his duties, he was (reassigned to) the unit of Saigō Bunzō as the successor unit.
