現代語訳
一 刻限以前に本宮・権殿・摂社・小社等へ日供を備え進める。当番祠官の沢田祝兼が本宮・権殿へは先朝の御料として参勤し、摂社へは当番氏人が参勤し、小社へは朝夕共に一箇所につき社務代の季由が備え進める。もっとも本宮は朝夕共に献進する間、楽人が音楽を奏する。
一 辰上刻に大鼓を一度打ち、神人の案内三度の後、各々評議所へ参集する。役番匠・鍛冶等も同所門前に集まり、各々相揃った後、社頭に出仕する。神人二十一人【内二人は日供舁】が前行し、神主博久・三職が扈従する【神主は布衣・白丁を召し具し、傘持ちを伴う】。次に祠官以下が群行し、一の鳥居・二の鳥居を経て簀子橋・玉橋等、楼門・中門から唐戸を通り祢宜方透廊へ昇る。常の御神事の通り、神主は中央に、その余の社司は祢宜方・祝方共に同所の東西に相対して分かれ着座する。もっとも社務代は祢宜方の末座に着き、作所奉行は小庭西面に着座する。但し大田若宮社司の後の程である。
一 右の社司参向の少し前に、御普請方は直会所に着座する【但し縁に畳を敷き北に絹幔、南に白布幕を張る】。但し寛保の度は御籍屋に着座したところ、本宮御屋根の体が相見えないため、今度は直会所に設置すべき旨を兼日申し渡されたためである。これにより随意の輩は西御供所御籍屋に群居し、楽人【浄衣刺貫】は西楽屋に着座する。事が具わった後、御上棟の式を始める。もっとも大工は正大工以下、御籍屋東の軒下長床に着座する【西上北面一列】。
正殿上棟略次第
当日早朝、本宮・権殿・摂社・小社等の外陣に神饌を供える。その時伶人が音楽を奏する【本宮・権殿は当番祠官が役を務め、摂社は当番氏人が役を務め、小社は社務代が役を務める】。
刻限以前に祠官・社務代【各々衣冠】、作所奉行【狩衣】、別当・所司・目代【各々浄衣】が評議所に参集する【案内三度は神人が役を務める】。
且つ役番匠が群参して評議所門前に集まる。
英語訳
- Before the appointed time, daily offerings (nikku) are prepared and presented to the Main Shrine, Temporary Shrine, Secondary Shrines, and Small Shrines. The duty priest Sawada Hafuri Kane serves the Main Shrine and Temporary Shrine with morning offerings, duty shrine parishioners serve the Secondary Shrines, and for the Small Shrines, Deputy Shrine Administrator Kiyoshi presents offerings at each location both morning and evening. Particularly for the Main Shrine, since offerings are presented both morning and evening, musicians perform music during these times.
- At the first part of the Hour of the Dragon (7-9 AM), the large drum is struck once, and after three announcements by the shrine attendants, everyone assembles at the council hall. The duty carpenters, blacksmiths, and others gather in front of the same location, and after everyone is assembled, they proceed to serve at the shrine grounds. Twenty-one shrine attendants [two of whom carry daily offerings] proceed in front, followed by Chief Priest Hirohisa and the three officials in attendance [the Chief Priest is accompanied by retainers in court dress and commoners, with umbrella bearers]. Next, the shrine priests and below proceed in groups, passing through the First and Second Torii gates, crossing the Sudoko Bridge and Tama Bridge, ascending through the tower gate and middle gate via the Chinese-style gate to the Negi side corridor. Following the usual sacred ritual procedure, the Chief Priest takes the center position, while the other shrine officials, both Negi and Hafuri sides, sit facing each other on the east and west sides of the same location. The Deputy Shrine Administrator sits at the end of the Negi side, and the Construction Superintendent sits on the west side of the small courtyard, positioned after the Ota Wakamiya shrine officials.
- Shortly before the above shrine officials' arrival, the construction supervisors take their seats in the feast hall [with tatami mats laid on the veranda, silk curtains to the north, and white cloth curtains to the south]. However, during the Kanpo era, they were seated in the record-keeping building, but since the Main Shrine's roof structure could not be seen from there, it was previously ordered that this time it should be set up in the feast hall. Accordingly, those at liberty gather in the west offering hall record-keeping building, and the musicians [in purification robes with decorative threading] take their seats in the west music hall. After everything is prepared, the roof-raising ceremony begins. The carpenters, from the head carpenter down, sit on the long bench under the eastern eaves of the record-keeping building [arranged in a single row facing north, with west as the upper position].
Brief Procedure for Main Hall Roof-Raising Ceremony
On the day, early in the morning, sacred food offerings are presented to the outer sanctuaries of the Main Shrine, Temporary Shrine, Secondary Shrines, Small Shrines, etc. At this time, court musicians perform music [the Main Shrine and Temporary Shrine are served by duty shrine priests, Secondary Shrines by duty parishioners, and Small Shrines by deputy shrine administrators].
Before the appointed time, shrine priests and deputy shrine administrators [each in court dress], construction superintendents [in hunting dress], and deputy administrators, officials, and representatives [each in purification robes] assemble at the council hall [with shrine attendants serving as guides for three announcements].
Furthermore, the duty master carpenters gather in groups at the front gate of the council hall.
