御鎖を包み終わり、神主以下社司《この時下臈が祝方より立つ》転供等が退下し、若宮社より《特に初め》《土師尾社より始めて拝する》片岡社に至るまで巡拝し、社司が土屋に着く《その座は常の如し。特に片岡社より祢宜方・祝方が相対して左右の簀子橋を経て土屋に至る。但し大田・奈良・沢田氏神の社司は、その社退下の後直ちに土屋に着く。但し五官の輩は着座せず、以前猶予して社頭にいることが見て取れる》
次に帯刀が左右の幄に候う《床几に着き太刀を帯び、祢宜方は西方東面、祝方は東方西面。李通日記に曰く、天和四年九月九日東幄南面に立てたが、今朝改めて西面とし左右相向かって建てたという。天和以前は南面であった。また、この床几並びに太刀等は代官中より備えるものである》並びに文㓨が幄の辺に候う《東西とも。但し代官二人が見繕いのため便所に候い、文㓨上首・帯刀下臈が各々座次を定める》
次に相撲の事始め。先ず権祢宜・祝が土屋を起こして相撲地取りとする。
その儀式は、先ず権両官《座礼》が起座《沓礼》し東西幄の北頭に立つ《権祢宜は細殿の後より西幄に至り、権祝は細殿の東を経て東幄に至る。この時共に下裾する。この儀は土屋座下にて行う》
先ず権祢宜が南庭に進出する《その儀は西幄北頭より練り出て南二鳥居方へ向かい右回りし、更に北面して北細殿の方に進む》そして笏で地取りを庭砂に画く《その儀は二鳥居方より細殿前庭玄関二丈許りに進み、左手で右袖を押さえ裾を引き、笏末《右手》で輪形二段を画く。その画跡は先ず砂の中央に画き、西方片輪、次に東方片輪、次にまたその画続きで西方片輪、次に東方片輪。但し毎回画き終わるごとに跪踞し笏を持ち直体で練り歩き、画くときは始めの如く右袖を押さえ笏末を中腰で画く。毎輪このようにする》

英語訳
After wrapping the sacred lock, the shrine priest and below-ranking shrine officials《at this time, junior attendants rise from the ritualist section》, rotating offerings staff, etc. withdraw. Starting from Wakamiya Shrine《particularly first》《beginning worship from Haji-no-o Shrine》 they make pilgrimage rounds to Kataoka Shrine, and shrine officials take their places at the earthen building《their seating follows the usual manner. Particularly from Kataoka Shrine, the shrine maiden and ritualist sections face each other, crossing the left and right bamboo bridges to reach the earthen building. However, shrine officials of Ota, Nara, and Sawada clan shrines go directly to the earthen building after their shrine withdrawal. The five-official group does not take seats but remains at the shrine grounds with some delay, as can be observed》
Next, sword-bearers wait at the left and right enclosures《sitting on stools and wearing swords, the shrine maiden section faces east on the west side, the ritualist section faces west on the east side. According to the Ritsu Journal, on September 9th, Tenna 4th year, the eastern enclosure was set up facing south, but this morning it was changed to face west with left and right facing each other. Before Tenna era, it faced south. Also, these stools and swords are provided by deputy officials》Along with document holders waiting near the enclosures《both east and west. However, two deputy officials wait at a convenient location for arrangements, with document holders at the head and sword-bearers at junior positions, each determining their seating order》
Next, the sumo wrestling ceremony begins. First, the deputy shrine maiden and ritualist rise from the earthen building to perform the sumo ground preparation ritual.
The procedure: First, both deputy officials《seated bow》rise《shoe bow》and stand at the northern head of the east and west enclosures《the deputy shrine maiden goes from behind the fine hall to the west enclosure, the deputy ritualist goes through the east of the fine hall to the east enclosure. At this time, both lower their hems. This ceremony is performed below the earthen building seats》
First, the deputy shrine maiden advances to the southern courtyard《the procedure involves emerging from the northern head of the west enclosure toward the southern two torii direction, turning right, then facing north again and advancing toward the northern fine hall direction》and uses the ritual baton to draw ground markings in the courtyard sand《the procedure involves advancing about two jō from the two torii direction to the fine hall front courtyard entrance, pressing the right sleeve with the left hand and pulling the hem, using the tip of the ritual baton《right hand》to draw circular forms in two tiers. The drawing traces first mark the center of the sand, then the western half-circle, next the eastern half-circle, then continuing the drawing with the western half-circle, then the eastern half-circle. However, after each drawing, one kneels holding the baton upright and walks in procession, and when drawing, as in the beginning, presses the right sleeve and draws with the baton tip at waist level. Each circle is done this way》
