Next, the *gon-hafuri* (権祝, Acting *Hafuri*) and the Kataoka *negi* (片岡禰宜), then the Kataoka *hafuri* (片岡祝) and the Kifune *negi* (貴布禰禰宜), then the Kifune *hafuri* (貴布禰祝) and the Shingū *negi* (新宮禰宜), stand in attendance at the left and right below the steps (*kaika*). The remaining shrine priests (*shikan*) are also arrayed in rows at the left and right below the steps. Next, the divine offerings (*shinku*) are presented: first from the *negi* side, then from the *hafuri* side, and the presentation is completed. The white horse (*shiro-uma*) is then viewed from the Inner Sanctuary (*naijin*). The names are called out in order from the *Kara-gomon* (唐御門, Tang-style gate), and the shrine servants (*jinin*) proceed ahead carrying torches. Two people lead the sacred horse [*ujibito* (氏人, clan members) serve in this role, merely accompanying]; the one holding the bridle faces toward the center (*seichū*). The *bettō* (別当, administrative head), *senjō* (先生, senior official), and *kago* (籠, palanquin bearers, etc.) stand in attendance at the rear. Next, the fodder (*o-magusa*) is brought out by an upper-ranking attendant (*jōrō*) [a young girl of the Haya clan] from the *naoraijo* (直会所, ritual feast hall), and she feeds the horse at the veranda of the *noritoya* (祝詞屋, norito recitation hall), then withdraws. The sacred horse descends and exits through the middle gate (*chūmon*). At this crossing point, the rope is handed over to the *kago* (palanquin). Next, the *Ujigami hafuri* (氏神祝, clan deity *hafuri*) advances below the steps, performs a single bow (*ichihai*), and returns to their seat. The others do likewise [from the junior officials onward].
During this time, the *azukari* (預, Custodian) hands over the sacred keys of the branch shrines (*sessha*) to the *hafuri*. The two officials of Kifune (*Kifune ryōkan*) remain in their seats, while the Kataoka *negi* proceeds directly together with the new officials (*shinkan*) and below. The *kannushi*, *hafuri*, and *negi* of each respective shrine take their seats at the *norito-za* (祝詞座, norito recitation seat). Then the two Acting Officials (*gon-ryōkan* — the *gon-negi* and *gon-hafuri*) advance again, finish preparing the divine offerings (*shinsen*) for the Outer Sanctuary (*gejin*), and take their seats at the *norito-za*. Next, the *azukari* announces that the *norito* recitation for the Kataoka Shrine has been completed. Then the Five Officials (*gokan*) recite the *norito* [double bow, two segments]. When the recitation is finished, the two Acting Officials advance and remove the divine offerings from the Outer Sanctuary [the *gon-negi* returns to their original seat in the *tōrō*; the *gon-hafuri* returns to their original seat in the *wata-dono*]. The two officials of Kifune, upon completion of the *norito*,

withdraw. Next, the shrine priests of Kataoka, Shingū, and Wakamiya return to their seats; once the seating arrangement in the *tōrō* and *wata-dono* is settled, the *kannushi* and *hafuri* rise from the *norito-za* and proceed into the Inner Sanctuary (*go-naijin*). Next, the *negi* and *gon-negi* stand in attendance at the *ō-yuka* (大床, Great Floor). Then the *gon-hafuri* and the Kataoka *negi*, then the Kataoka *hafuri* and the Shingū *negi*, then the Shingū *hafuri* and the Wakamiya *negi* [the *negi* side arrays in rows below the steps], then the Wakamiya *hafuri* [in the rows of the *negi* side]. Next, the blinds (*misu*, 御簾) are rolled up. Then the sacred trays (*on-ban*) [thirty in number] are brought forward. Next, the *hafuri* side removes the divine offerings. Then after the *negi* side's divine offerings are also removed, the Wakamiya *hafuri* advances to the *doi* (土居, earthen embankment) and performs a single bow [the *hafuri* side withdraws to the *wata-dono*]. Then the Wakamiya *negi* and the Shingū *hafuri* [same as above], then the Shingū *negi* and the Kataoka *hafuri* [same as above], then the Kataoka *negi* and the *gon-hafuri* [same as above], then the *gon-negi* and the *sei-negi* (正禰宜, Chief *Negi*), then the *kannushi* [withdrawing to the *hafuri* side one official at a time]. Next, the *sei-hafuri* (正祝, Chief *Hafuri*) exits the Inner Sanctuary and closes the sacred doors [everyone prostrates themselves; the *azukari* presents the wrapped sacred lock (*on-kusaritsutumi*)]. The *hafuri* takes their seat in the *wata-dono*, and all withdraw. They wait together at the shrine for a while until the shrine priests who have come from distant locations (*ensho no shikan*) return, then all assemble together and take their seats at the *Mifudaya* (御籍屋, Register House) for the *naorai* (直会, ritual communal feast) following the divine offerings [the *on-chō-meshi* (御庁飯, formal administrative hall meal), *shirii* (尻居, a type of food or seating arrangement), and *dakushu* (濁酒, unrefined sake), etc. are served]. Beside the seats of the *sei-negi* and the *hafuri*, there is a brazier (*karo*, 火爐) and a knotted lamp stand (*musubi-tōdai*, 結燈台) [The charcoal for the brazier consists of one bale brought to the shrine on the twenty-seventh day of the previous winter, a bale approximately one shaku two to three sun in height. The officials should make further inquiries about this]. When the feast is concluded, the duty *shashi* (社司) advances and prepares the evening divine meal (*yū no mike*, 夕御饌).
