...spreading out ten times five futons, playing sugoroku, go, shogi, and other games there. The sound of the tea kettle boiling is quiet, elegant, and amusing. Edo-bushi songs and such are played on the koto by kamuro (young attendants) in the next room, making even the hot weather feel pleasant. From the first day of the seventh month, various lanterns are lit and lined up under the eaves of each house, as if a hundred flowers were illuminating for a hundred days all at once. The old are enticed by the young, men and women press sleeves together, and the main street shakes with the bustling crowds - such scenes cannot be fully described in words or writing. I ask you to imagine it for yourselves.
Anei 4th year, year of the Sheep
