現代語訳
躬清・老若惣代の成文・執筆の直安等が出席した。二月・三月・四月・五月分の勘定が未の刻（午後二時）頃に相済んだ。
一、今日の饗応の座付（着席時の料理）は、煎り豆・あられ・昆布・茶漬け飯・御酒・肴にたこ・にんじん・漬物等であった。また朗（薯蕷）饅頭。夕飯は、汁（割書：こまごまとした具、椎茸）、焼き物（割書：鯛・切り目に色付け）、もみ越瓜、猪口（小鉢）、煮物（割書：八杯豆腐・葛粉引き）、香の物、御酒、肴にたこ・鰻等であった。膳を引いた後にも御酒が出た。
一、山本安芸守より申し入れがあった。今日、大坂表より願主があって絵馬一枚を差し越したので、今日中に奉納したい由。まず御社中まで持ち出し、その絵馬を掛ける折釘・錠等については私の方に頼み越してきたが、どうか御社中にてお取り計らいいただき、入用の銀を仰せ下されたいとのこと。先方よりそのように申し越してきたとのことで、四尺に五尺余りの牽馬（引き馬）の絵馬一枚と御初尾金二百疋を持ち出した。とりあえず躬清が預かり置いた由。来月二日の御参会の節に御相談があるべきこと。
一、未の刻（午後二時）頃、惣代が帰郷した。弁殿のところで、この間差し出しておいた願書が御返しされた。弁殿より仰せ出されたのは、この間、御池水拝領の義について御所の御取次中へ参って対談した由を御聞き及びになった。伝奏へ願うべき義をなぜ取次へ申し入れたのか、その訳が得心しかねるとの御尋ねであった。惣代が申すには、この儀は御他水拝領の義を申し入れた事ではございません。これまで御用水の義は社中が支配してきたところ、近頃は小山の百姓どもより彼是と申し来るため、今後は古格の通りに、取次中より社中へ仰せ聞かされるようにと申し入れた事でございます。前々からの格式と違う義については、この間も書面に書き付けて御覧に入れた通りでございます、と申し上げたところ、伝奏御掛けの義を取次へ申し入れたことは甚だ不届きに思し召す、以後はかようの義は堅く無用と仰せ出された由である。伝奏においても深尾氏が出て、右の通り仰せ出された由である。

六月朔日 卯（うのとき） 早朝より大雨。所々出口に橋なく、御薗口ばかり（通れる）。
一、今日は御静謐（つつがなし）。
一、昨日、三星屋喜兵衛より相撲見物の入目書付を持参したので、今日、割合を帯刀へ遣わした。上床・机代両人分三百文、飯代両人分二匁、一膳二匁ずつ。先達っての小野参詣の割合と一緒にして、十八匁五分を氏雅へ書き付け遣わした。
一、今日、近江守清辰より子供の痘（疱瘡）の酒湯の祝儀として赤飯が来た。
一、播磨介存顕、今日より一条家へ出勤。
---
二日 辰（たつ） 晴れ。
一、今日は月次寄合である。出席者：神主正久・保韶・博久・庸清・富清・哲顕・季脩・茂季・季宝・茂宗・季首・保鹿・徳季・季甫・産幸・保布・富俊・史顕・保覚・保土・執筆代国清・会所学顕披露。
一、当月の御祈祷は例の通り十一日に御執行なさるべきか。十一日とすること。
一、昨朔日に別当大夫より川勝権六へ恒例の書状が遣わされたところ、返書が到来した事。執筆がこれを読んだ。
一、松平富之助殿へ、暑気の御見舞いとして例年の通り薫袋（匂い袋）一を進上すべきか。薫袋はお役にも立ちにくく、まだ御幼少のことでもあるので、今夏は扇子十本を進上するのがよかろう。しかも価格も扇子の方が安上がりになろう。箱は焼き杉にして、さっとお申し付けになり、扇子を入れてお置きになるのがよかろう。家中へは小手拭い（手拭い）を例の通りお遣わしになるべきと評決となった。
英語訳
Michikiyo, the representative for the senior and junior members (*rōjaku sōdai*) Narufumi, and the scribe (*shippitsu*) Naohari, and others were in attendance. The accounting for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th months was completed around the Hour of the Sheep (*mi no koku*, approximately 2 p.m.).
1. The hospitality served at today's seating was: roasted beans, rice crackers (*arare*), kelp (*konbu*), tea-rice (*chazuke*), sake, and side dishes of octopus, carrot, and pickled vegetables, among others; also *rō* (yam) *manjū* (steamed buns). For the evening meal: soup (marginal note: various ingredients, shiitake mushrooms); grilled dishes (marginal note: sea bream, scored and glazed); pressed cucumber (*momi-goshi uri*); small cups (*猪口,猪口*); simmered dishes (marginal note: *happai dōfu* [tofu simmered in a thin broth], thickened with kudzu starch); pickled vegetables (*kōnomono*); sake; and side dishes of octopus, eel, and others. After the trays were cleared, sake was served again.
2. A request was submitted by Yamamoto Aki-no-kami. A votary from Osaka had sent a single votive horse painting (*ema*) today, wishing to have it dedicated within the day. He brought it first to the shrine community and, while he had come to Yamamoto's side regarding the hanging nails and fixtures needed to install it, he requested that the shrine community handle the arrangements and inform him of the silver costs required. As conveyed by the other party, a votive painting of a horse being led (*hikuma*) measuring approximately four by five *shaku*, along with an offering of two hundred *hiki* in gold (*ohatsuo kin*), was brought out. For the time being, Michikiyo took custody of these items. The matter is to be discussed at the assembly on the 2nd of next month.
3. Around the Hour of the Sheep (approximately 2 p.m.), the representatives returned home. At Lord Hino-Ben's residence, the petition that had been submitted during this period was returned. Lord Hino-Ben stated that he had learned that the representatives had visited the intermediary officials (*otoritsugi-chū*) at the Imperial Palace to discuss the matter of receiving water from the sacred pond. He questioned why, when the proper channel would be to petition through the *denso* (Imperial liaison officials), they had instead approached the intermediary officials directly — a matter he found difficult to comprehend. The representatives explained: "This matter was not a petition for receiving water from another source. Until now, the management of the sacred water (*oyōsui*) has been under the jurisdiction of the shrine community; however, recently the farmers of Koyama have been raising various objections. We therefore requested that, henceforth, the intermediary officials convey instructions to the shrine community in accordance with established custom (*kokaku*). The discrepancies from the established precedent were laid out in the written document submitted for review during this period." Upon hearing this, Lord Hino-Ben declared that it was highly improper to have approached the intermediary officials regarding matters that fall under the purview of the *denso*, and that such conduct should be strictly avoided henceforth. It was also reported that at the *denso* office, a certain Lord Fukao appeared and made the same pronouncement.

**6th Month, 1st Day. [Hour of the Hare / *U no toki*]. Heavy rain from early morning. There were no bridges at various exits; only the *Misonoguchi* gate was passable.**
1. Today the shrine community was quiet and uneventful.
2. Yesterday, Mitsuboshiya Kihei brought a written record of expenses (*irme kakitsuke*) for attending the sumo (*sumō*) viewing, so today the apportionment was sent to Tachi-no-haki (Tachi-no-osamu). The upper seat and writing desk costs for two persons came to 300 *mon*; meal costs for two persons came to 2 *monme* (1 *monme* per serving per person). Together with the apportionment for the recent visit to Ono [Shrine], a total of 18 *monme* 5 *bu* was recorded and sent to Ujimasa.
3. Today, from Ōmi-no-kami Kiyotoki, red rice (*sekihan*) was received in celebration of his child's recovery from smallpox (*tō*, i.e., *hōsō*, smallpox), as part of the *sake-yu* (ritual bath with sake) ceremony.
4. Harima-no-suke Arinori began his service at the Ichijō household starting today.
---
**2nd Day. [Day of the Dragon / *Tatsu*]. Clear.**
1. Today is the monthly assembly (*tsuki-nami yoriai*). Those in attendance: Head Priest Masahisa, Yasushige, Hirohisa, Tsunekiyo, Tomokiyo, Tetsunori, Suemichi, Shigesue, Suetaka, Shigemune, Suekashira, Yasushika, Noritsue, Suemoto, Ubuyuki, Yasununo, Tomitoshi, Fumiari, Yasusato, Yasuchi; Acting Scribe (*shippitsudai*) Kunikiyo; announcements made at the meeting hall by Gakunori.
2. Regarding this month's prayers (*go-kitō*): should they be conducted on the 11th, as is customary? It was decided that the 11th would be the date.
3. On the 1st day of yesterday, the *bettō-tayū* (administrative head) sent a customary letter to Kawakatsuri Gonroku, and a reply was received. The scribe read it aloud.
4. Regarding sending a summer gift (*shoki mimai*) to Lord Matsudaira Tominosuke — as in previous years, should one sachet of fragrant herbs (*kunbukuro*) be sent? It was noted that sachets are not particularly useful, and as he is still very young, it would be more appropriate for this summer to send ten folding fans (*sensu*) instead. The cost would also be lower with fans. It was decided that the box should be made of scorched cedar (*yakisugi*), the fans placed inside, and the gift dispatched promptly. For members of the household, small hand towels (*kotenugui*) were to be sent, as customary.
