Item: Same day.
On the occasion of O-Yoshimaru-sama's imminent relocation, as a farewell gift (senbetsu), from Tokugawa Gyōbukyō (Muneyori)-sama:
To O-Yoshimaru-sama: one sword (o-katana; Nagamitsu, valued at twenty gold pieces), one short sword (o-wakizashi; [maker's name unclear], valued at fifteen gold pieces), and one hanging scroll set (o-kakemono; a triptych of three panels).
From the O-Renjū-sama [the wife/consort of Gyōbukyō-sama]: a writing stand (o-bundai), an inkstone box (o-suzuribako), an incense box (o-kōbako), and one folding screen panel (o-byōbu).
From Yasu-hime-sama: a book/reading stand (o-mitsudai; lacquered in black with family crest in maki-e decoration).
From Sennnosuke-sama (the second son of Gyōbukyō-sama): one box of medicine cases/ornamental containers (o-inrō; a set of five) were presented.
Item: Same day.
