串を六々（三十六本）、三百六十の日数にかたどり、五穀を用いるのは、五穀成就の祈りのためであろうか。要調査。
一、競馬会五日に出仕の時、三方に昆布・勝栗・熨斗・茗荷・塩鯛を載せて引き渡す式献の意義は、茗荷に叶い、勝負よく「勝ち栗」めでたい「よろこんぶ」（喜昆布）「めでたい」（鯛）という祝儀のことであろう。
一、神事の時は足袋を履かない。束帯・衣冠の時は襪（しとうず）を用いるのは言うまでもないことであるが、武家方には用い方が悪く、
【左丁】
言うまでもなく、軍陣・馬乗りの時はわらんじ（草鞋）を履くため、応仁以来、武家は「足袋」と名付けて、親指の所を割って、もっぱらこれを用いるようになったとのこと。競馬会に糸鞿（いとこはい）を作るため、足袋を用いても差し支えないということか。
一、神事の時、幕に関して忌み言葉があるとのこと。物見幕は「持べる」と言い、打ち上げることを「しぼる」と言い、取り置くことを「納」と言う。船幕は「走らかす」と言い、味方の幕を「打つ」と言い、敵のを「引く」と言う。また喪礼の幕は「張る」と言う。総体を「はずす」「たたむ」と言ってはならない。

The skewers, six by six (thirty-six in total), represent the three hundred and sixty days of the year, and five grains are used. This may be for prayers for a successful harvest of the five grains. This should be investigated further.
One, regarding the formal presentation ceremony on the fifth day of the horse racing meet: when attending, a ceremonial tray (sanpō) bearing konbu (kelp), katsu-guri (dried chestnuts), noshi (abalone), myōga (ginger bud), and salt-cured sea bream is passed in a ceremonial manner. The meaning of this ritual offering lies in wordplay: myōga ("叶う" - to grant wishes), the auspicious "kachi-guri" ("勝ち" - victory), "yorokonbu" (konbu = "喜ぶ" - to rejoice), and "medetai" (tai/sea bream = "めでたい" - auspicious). These are all celebratory expressions.
One, during Shinto rituals, tabi (split-toe socks) are not worn. It goes without saying that shitōzu (court socks) are worn with formal court dress (sokutai) and ceremonial cap and robe (ikan). However, this practice was problematic for samurai households.

Needless to say, since warriors wear straw sandals (waraji) during military campaigns and horseback riding, from the time of the Ōnin War onward, the samurai class designated these as "tabi," splitting the area at the big toe, and came to use them exclusively. Since braided leather stirrup straps (itokohai) are used in the horse racing meet, it may be acceptable to wear tabi.
One, it is said that there are taboo words regarding curtains during Shinto rituals. Viewing curtains are said to be "held up" (motsuberu); raising them is called "shiboru" (wringing/drawing); storing them away is called "osameru" (putting away). Ship curtains are said to be "run out" (hashirakasu); one's own side's curtains are called "utsu" (striking); the enemy's are called "hiku" (pulling). Mourning ceremony curtains are called "haru" (stretching). One must never say "hazusu" (removing) or "tatamu" (folding) for any of them.
