願書・奉書四つ折り
謹んで願い上げ奉り候口上覚
賀茂皇太神宮のご事情は、往古より朝廷のご尊崇は他社に比類なく、それゆえ神戸・神封等をその都度ご寄附いただき、その他六郷ならびに諸国に散在する神領等、すべて合わせて九万九千八十石余りと社記に記載がございます。年中の祭礼は申すに及ばず、堀河天皇のご聖願による日供の神饌等も厳重に調え進めて参りましたところ、保元・平治の頃より世上が次第に騒乱の様相を呈し、やがて文明・応仁の際に至って、英雄たちが四方に割拠し、諸国の神領の大半が掠奪を受け、年中の諸神事ならびに日供の神饌等に至るまで多くが廃絶・欠落し、社家一同この事を悲嘆いたしておりましたところ、天正年中の検地の節に豊太閤より二千五百七十二石の朱印を頂戴し、今もってその通りの状況でございます。しかしながら、元来多人数の社家がございますゆえ、右の社領をもってしては諸事行き届きかね、恐れながら年中の諸神事以下の多くが旧来の格式に回復できず、とりわけ上記に申し上げました堀河天皇のご叡願による日供神饌も、かろうじて月に一両度調進いたします程度のことになってしまっており、実にもって恐れ入り奉ります。

Petition/Official Letter (folded in quarters)
A memorandum of humble supplication, respectfully submitted
Regarding the circumstances of the Kamo Imperial Grand Shrine: since ancient times, the reverence shown by the Imperial Court has been without equal among other shrines, and accordingly, shrine domains (kandō) and shrine stipends (shinpō) have been granted on numerous occasions. In addition, with the six home districts and scattered shrine lands in various provinces, the total came to over 99,080 koku, as recorded in the shrine documents. Annual ritual ceremonies need not even be mentioned; the daily food offerings (nichiku no shinsen) as stipulated by the pious wish of Emperor Horikawa were also prepared and presented with great solemnity. However, from around the Hōgen and Heiji eras, the world gradually fell into disorder, and by the time of the Bunmei and Ōnin periods, warlords had established themselves throughout the land. The majority of shrine lands across the provinces were pillaged, and the many annual rituals, including the daily food offerings, fell largely into disuse and disarray, causing great lamentation among all shrine families. Subsequently, during the land surveys of the Tenshō era, Toyotomi Hideyoshi (the Taikō) granted a vermillion-seal certificate for 2,572 koku, which remains the situation to this day. However, as there are originally a large number of shrine families to support, even these shrine revenues are insufficient to meet all needs, and regrettably, many of the annual rituals and ceremonies have not been restored to their former standards. Most notably, as stated above, the daily food offerings pursuant to the devout wish of Emperor Horikawa have been reduced to being prepared merely once or twice a month, and this is truly a matter of the deepest shame and regret.
