（前頁からの続き）十手に触れさせておきながら、今また神主が出仕する時には開けて通行させるとは、いかなる法度（きまり）なのか、と申し立てたが、誰一人として返答しなかった。
その他の社司たちはみな一列に打板（うちいた）の上に着座し（円座を一枚ずつ持参）、各自所定の位置に着いた。末広・前官の松三位起久・非職の千代（順久の子である）・水旱の三人は、土師尾社の前、長床の西面に着座した。公儀の奉行および同心は、前官の後ろ、北若宮社の前の長床西面に着座した。作所奉行は屏（ついたて）の中門内に着座し、「まず始めよ」と申した。そのとき、正棟梁の作兵衛が御屋根に登り（衣冠を着用）、正の長（おさ）が東の柱の根本に（京の者がその代を務める由）、西の柱の根本には（左介子・長調（ちょう）が）位置した。
次に、正大工が布の膝突きをつけ（束帯・笏（しゃく）を帯びて）、三拝した。一拝ごとに、柱の根本の槌を両方同時に一打ちずつ打った。次に五色の幣を持ち、左・右・左と振って三拝し、一拝ごとに棟の槌を一つずつ打った。次に、御屋根の棟の中央から垂らしたしめ縄（布）を引いて置き、乱れた細いものの外、立砂の間から中門の東方の柱に、また幕串（まくぐし）一本を添えて置き、これに括り付けてあったものを正大工が解いて神主へ渡した。神主は座ったまま左手に持って…

(Continued from previous page) Despite having previously prohibited touch at the jitte (十手), now when the shrine chief comes to serve, the gate is opened for passage—what manner of regulation is this? he demanded. Not a single person offered a reply.
The remaining shrine officials (社司) all took their seats in a single row on the uchiita (打板, wooden floor boards), each with one round rush mat (円座), each in their designated position. Suehiro, the former official (前官) Matsusanmi Okihisa, the non-serving official (非職) Chiyo (son of Yorihisa), and the three of Suikan—these persons took their seats on the west side of the long hall (長床) in front of Hajio Shrine. The official inspector (奉行) and his associate (同心) from the public authority (公儀) took their seats on the west side of the long hall in front of the North Wakamiya Shrine, behind the former official. The construction superintendent (作所奉行) took his seat inside the middle gate (中門) behind the screen (屏), and declared, "Let us begin."
At that moment, the head master carpenter (正棟梁), Sakubei, climbed up onto the roof (wearing court cap and robe, 衣冠). The chief foreman (正の長) took position at the base of the east pillar (represented by someone from the capital, Kyoto), and at the base of the west pillar stood Sasuké-ko and Nagatyō.
Next, the head carpenter (正大工), wearing formal court dress (束帯) with a brocade knee pad (布の膝突き) and holding a ceremonial baton (笏), performed three prostrations. With each prostration, the mallets at the bases of both pillars were struck once simultaneously. Next, holding the five-colored paper offerings (五色の幣), he waved them left, right, and left, performing three prostrations, with one strike of the ridgepole mallet for each prostration. After that, a shimenawa (sacred rope, here described as fabric) was drawn out from the center of the ridgepole of the roof and laid in position; passing through the gap between the outstretched fine cords and the ritual sand mounds (立砂), it was led to the pillar on the east side of the middle gate, where an additional ceremonial pole (幕串) had been placed. The binding that had been tied to this was untied by the head carpenter and handed to the shrine chief. The shrine chief, remaining seated, received it in his left hand...
