（前頁より続き）……故に、前内府殿の御執奏によって権祝の勅許がなされたものを、当今の若輩の社司が何かと申し立てることでございます。」
このように逐一問答があったため、夜に入ってしまった。結局、一紙を差し上げて帰るようにとのお言葉があった。
一、社司方より上げる写し
覚
権祝の口宣を頂戴仕ったとのことは、かたじけない儀でございます。しかしながら、神前にて拝賀もせず、社中への披露もせず、神前の御札も改めず、神主への社法もせず、正当の神役もせず、代役を仕っておりました（その者は）八年以前に死去いたしました。まして氏人として往来田を下され、氏人役を仕りながら、口宣を頂戴しながらも社司の家業をも相続せず、社法を省き、社例を申し立てられること、これはいずれも神慮を軽んじ曲事の極みでございます。特に、正祝より預け置かれました様に祝代を押領いたしておりますこと、その権祝の口宣はいかなる先例をもって申し上げた儀か、お尋ねいただきたく存じます。かつは、神慮を欺き今まで隠し置かれましたことは、沙汰の限りの義でございます。氏人を社司に任じ申した義は、曽て御座なく候。以上。

(Continued from previous page) ——and therefore, through the petition (*shissō*) of the former Naidaijin, the imperial sanction (*chokukyō*) for the position of *gon-hafuri* was granted—and yet the young and inexperienced *shashi* of today raise various objections to this."
As the exchanges of questions and answers continued in this exhaustive manner one by one, night had fallen. In the end, it was directed that [the parties] should submit a single written document and then depart.
Item: A copy of the document submitted by the *shashi* party
Memorandum (*Oboegaki*)
We are most grateful to learn that the *kuzen* (imperial oral decree) for the position of *gon-hafuri* (*gon-kōhaku*) has been received. However, [the person in question] performed no *haiga* (formal worship) before the deity, made no public announcement (*hirō*) within the shrine, made no renewal of the sacred amulets (*ofuda*) before the deity, performed none of the required ritual protocols (*shahō*) toward the *kannagi*, performed none of the proper divine duties (*kamiyaku*), and only served as a substitute (*daiyaku*)—and that person died eight years ago. Moreover, despite being granted *ōrai-den* (transit lands) as an *ujibito* and performing *ujibito* duties, and despite having received the *kuzen*, [the family] did not succeed to the professional duties of a *shashi*, omitted the prescribed rites (*shahō*), and now invokes shrine precedents (*shareí*)—all of this amounts to a disregard for the divine will (*shinryo*) and is the height of impropriety. In particular, contrary to what was entrusted by the *shō-hafuri* (chief *hafuri*), they have unlawfully appropriated (*ōryō*) the *hafuri*'s stipend (*hafurishiro*). We respectfully request that an inquiry be made as to what precedent was cited in submitting the petition for this *gon-hafuri kuzen*. Furthermore, the fact that [this matter] has deceived the divine will and been concealed until now is utterly beyond the pale. There has never been any instance of appointing an *ujibito* to the position of *shashi*. Respectfully submitted.
