【昼時の小寄合】
昼時、小寄合が開かれた。出席者は、神主・正久・博久・季甫・史顕・保覚・保土、執筆代（代筆）は国清。哲顕は所労（病気）により欠席。
会所にて学顕が披露した内容：昨日、世顕が木船より下山した。これに際し、詰番の筑前介より書状が届いた。その趣旨は以下の通り：梶取橋の向こう、東の方の社地にある杉を、成就院より売却するとのことで、六十本が伐り取られた。そこで木船の三右衛門に現地を見に行かせたところ、成就院より木船谷に住む丹治なる者が世話をして、鞍馬宗次郎なる者が買い取り、伐り取ったとのことである。三右衛門が申すには、「この杉については、先年、前成就院（先代の成就院）が植えられたもので、その際に仰せになったのは、『社地が無駄に空き地になっているのは明神へのご奉公として杉でも植えれば後々ご用にも立てましょう、杉の苗は私が寄進いたします、あなた方もともに植えなさい、一統ご奉書公の旨である』とのことであった。私も参って植えた。川の西に枳殻（からたち）のある所は、以前より成就院の受地（借用地）のように聞き及んでおりますが、確かなことは存じません。この度伐られた杉は、完全に社地であり、御社の杉に相違ないと思われます」とのことである（以下□□）。
これにより小寄合で木船の絵図等を吟味したが、判断がつきかねるため、さらに年番中、その他の者へも申し入れ、吟味が行われることとなろう。明日、会所より内々に木船の三右衛門を召して、彼の覚悟（見解）を詳しく聴取されるべきである。

**[Visit to Lord Hino — Continued from Previous Page]**
(Mizutani Moku came out and they waited for a while,) as they had been told to wait. It appeared that the matter had been communicated to the Imperial Messenger (*gidensō*) as well, and after further waiting, it seemed that some preliminary inquiry had been made. Thereafter, the word came down that on this occasion as well, a ruling could not be issued, and the petition was returned. They duly reported this outcome to the Imperial Messenger and withdrew.

**[Notice from Igarashi Gōgo]**
A notice (*furejō*) arrived from Igarashi Gōgo. It stated that the whereabouts of Shimo, the adopted daughter of Jūbē of Ōsakaya in Uchino-Aioichō, previously mentioned in an earlier notice, had been ascertained. The representatives Hirokyu and Hokaku affixed their seals.

**[Small Assembly at Midday]**
At midday, a small assembly (*ko-yoriai*) was convened. Those in attendance were: the Head Priest, Masahisa, Hirokyu, Sumiho, Fumitaka, Hokaku, and Hodō. The acting scribe was Kunikiyo. Tetsutaka was absent due to illness.
At the assembly hall, Gakunori made the following announcement: Yesterday, Yoaki descended from the mountain by boat (*kibune*). On this occasion, a letter arrived from Chikuzen-no-suke, the duty officer at Kibune. The substance of the letter was as follows:
The sixty cedar trees growing on shrine land to the east of the Kajitori Bridge had been felled, reportedly having been sold by Jōju-in temple. Three'emon of Kibune was sent to inspect the site, where it was found that a man named Tanji, a resident of Kibune Valley arranged by Jōju-in, had facilitated the purchase by a man named Kurama Sōjirō, who then felled the trees.
Three'emon reported: "These cedar trees were planted in earlier years by the former Jōju-in. At that time, he said: 'As the shrine land is lying wastefully vacant, as a service to the deity (*myōjin*) we should plant cedars; they will be of use in the future. I will donate the cedar saplings; you all should come together and plant them, for this is a matter of service to the entire community.' I myself went and planted them. The area to the west of the river where the trifoliate orange (*karatachi*) grows has long been understood to be land on loan to Jōju-in, though I cannot say so with certainty. The cedar trees felled this time are entirely on shrine land; there is no doubt that they are the shrine's trees." [remainder damaged/unclear]
In light of this, the small assembly reviewed maps of the Kibune area and other documents, but as the matter remained unclear, it was decided to consult the annual duty officers and others, and further investigation would be conducted. Tomorrow, Three'emon of Kibune is to be called in privately from the assembly hall, and his account of the matter is to be heard in full detail.

**[Report of Nagato-no-Kami's Inspection]**
Regarding Nagato-no-Kami's joint inspection conducted with the Kibune mountain duty officers over the past few days: a total of sixteen *todo* (Sakhalin fir) trees were reported today. The matter is to be discussed further at the next assembly. Today as well, timber allocation (*kikuwari*) work was carried out at the Council Hall.

## Twenty-Fourth Day — Hinoto-Tora (丙寅) — Clear; Brief Shower until the Hour of the Hare
**[Fish Catch for the Divine Offerings at the Otoshire-kai — Rokugō Weir River]**
Today, the fish catch for the divine offerings (*jingu*) at the Otoshire assembly (*otodai-kai*) was conducted at the Rokugō weir river. The circular had been sent around yesterday, but as there was a sudden shower this morning, it was thought that a postponement notice should be sent out; however, as the sky cleared in the meantime and the river magistrate (*kawa-bugyō*) declared that the fish catch would proceed, participants headed out from just after the Hour of the Dragon (around 8 a.m.).
The monthly duty officer was Hirokyu; the head of scribes and *zassho* administrator was Hokaku; the *sata-nin* (administrator) was Kaneta; the acting river magistrate was Seifu. The river magistrate Kanetaka's group consisted of Houshi, Chōki, Kiyotomo, Naoharu, Yataka, and Tatsuno-suke Dayū — five in total, making seven together with the river magistrates. The locations were Ikeda, Ichinoi, Mogai-i, Hori, and Ogawa.
Those who joined at midday were: the monthly officer, Sumiho, Hirokyu, and *zassho* administrator Hodō; the *sata-nin* was Michikiyo. Also present: the river magistrates and the Kanetaka group;朝日前 (*Asahimae*); and Ōno, Koyama, and Nakamura. Attendants (*nakama*) and servants (*komono*), as well as those carrying the tea lunchboxes, brought two thin rush mats (*usube*), and all wore *haori* jackets and field hakama (*no-bakama*).
Around midday, a sudden shower struck. It is said that everyone got wet while damming the Horikawa river. The *nakama* was Gonbē; the servant's substitute was □-hei; the tea lunchbox carrier was Naka-no-Denhachi. Today's river magistrates [continued on the next page]…
