二十九日
一、今日帰府の御目見に付き身を清め（拝領の御紋付熨斗目半上下を着用）、
六時半前一寸（午前7時少し前）に出宅して登城し、御目付へ坊主を通じて登
城した旨を申し遣わしたところ、筧助兵衛が承知した旨を申し越し、坊主部屋に
控えていたところ、程なく御用番が登城したので席に控えていたところ、御目付
伊東長兵衛の案内で山吹之間において、羽目之間の御敷居際の御障子の
後ろに着座した。
一、御錠口が開き、伊東長兵衛の案内で東御縁へ出たところ、直ちに
若年寄立花出雲守の案内で御錠口内に入り、二つ目の曲がり角の
御杉戸の外より御廊下の曲がり角で脇差・扇子を取り上げられ、
左の方に置き、白鷲の御杉戸の内へ入り、入側御障子の方に
付いて控えていると、伊豆守殿が出雲守と会釈し、御障子の方へ
付いて御入側の御敷居際で下に座り、そこから内へ摺り入り平伏し、
伊豆守殿が名前のみ披露すると、これに対して
上意があり、
御前へ進み御上段下に座り、そこから御上段へ
摺り上がり平伏して左の通り言上した。
「去る二十日、日光の
御霊屋において御名代の拝礼を首尾よく相勤め、
万端残すところなく相済ませ申し候」
右の言上が終わって御下段へ摺り下がり、右へ回って下から二畳目へ
手をつき平伏し、御用番へ顔のみ向けると御取り合いがあり、
この度骨折りご苦労であったとの
上意があり、また伊豆守殿へ向かうと御取り合いがあって終了し、
右へ回って退去し、初めの通り出て御錠口・山吹之間を通り席へ
出て、直ちに坊主部屋で
御成見合わせが相済んで西丸へ
登城した。
ただし今日増上寺御成が仰せ出されたため、
御目見のため同席中が申し合わせて例格の通り西湖之間へ
英語訳
Twenty-ninth Day
1. Today, for the audience upon returning to the capital, I purified myself (wearing the bestowed crested noshime semi-formal dress) and departed my residence just before 6:30 (a little before 7 AM) to go to the castle. I sent word through a servant that I had arrived at the castle to the metsuke (inspector). Kakehi Sukebei acknowledged this, and while I was waiting in the servant's quarters, the goyōban (duty officer) soon arrived at the castle. I waited in my designated place, and under the guidance of metsuke Itō Chōbei, I took my seat behind the shoji screen at the threshold of the guest seating area in the Yamabuki-no-ma (Mountain Rose Room).
1. When the locked entrance opened, I went out to the Eastern Veranda under Itō Chōbei's guidance. Immediately, under the guidance of wakadoshiyori (junior councilor) Tachibana Izumo-no-kami, I entered through the locked entrance, and at the second turn by the cedar doors, at the corner of the corridor, my wakizashi (short sword) and fan were taken and placed to the left. I entered through the white eagle cedar doors, positioned myself by the inner shoji screens and waited. Izumo-no-kami exchanged greetings with Izu-no-kami-dono, moved toward the shoji screens, sat down at the threshold of the inner side, then slid inside and prostrated myself. When Izu-no-kami-dono announced only my name, there was a response, and I received the lord's words. I advanced before his presence, sat below the upper platform, then slid up to the upper platform, prostrated myself, and made the following report:
"On the twentieth day past, at the Nikko
Mausoleum, I successfully performed the proxy worship
and completed all matters without omission."
After completing this report, I slid down from the upper platform, turned right, and from below, placed my hands on the second tatami mat, prostrated myself, and turned only my face toward the goyōban, receiving acknowledgment. His lordship graciously said this was hard work and much trouble, and again turned toward Izu-no-kami-dono with acknowledgment. After this concluded, I turned right and withdrew, exited as I had entered, passed through the locked entrance and Yamabuki-no-ma, returned to my seat, and immediately went to the servant quarters where the formal visit arrangements were completed, then proceeded to the Western Castle.
However, today a formal visit to Zōjō-ji Temple was announced, so for the audience, my colleagues consulted together and, according to established protocol, went to the Seiko-no-ma (West Lake Room).
