（前頁より続く）……《並びに》詳しく書き記してあります、云々。」と。先年、中井主水が検分のために来臨した際、沢田の拝殿においてこれを閲覧させたところ、主水は褒め称えて、「誠に社の正大工の家に代々伝わる秘蔵の事であり、一社にとって大切な事柄である、云々。」と述べた。今度（の造替）については、諸事において正大工を惣棟梁とする詳細な取り決めはその効果がなく、惣大工と並んで工手間作料（工賃）を支配すべき旨が神主の定めとなった。なお、（正大工が）断り歎いた後、正殿・権殿の両殿について半分ずつを正大工が請け負って造るべしとの定めとなった、云々。
また左衛門が言うには、「弘治・天正年間の社作（については）、
【朱書き注記】
『和名抄』に云う、束柱（つかはしら）。『功程式』に云う、束柱——豆・賀・波・之・良（つかはしら）。杈（さす）、首（かしら）。楊氏『漢語抄』に云う、杈首——佐須（さす）。杈の音は初牙の反切（しょが）。
ツカ立（束立て）である。今度はサス立て（叉首立て）であるとの穿鑿（詮索・調査）があった。寛永の度（の造営において）只今の御殿はサス立て・内台作りと呼ばれるものである。この作りは禁裏（内裏）の紫宸殿の作りと同様である、云々。
この事（内台作りについて）が天正以前はどのようであったか、その証拠が不明である。
【左丁】
何故に寛永（の造営において）内台に作ったのか。寛永は台徳院様（徳川秀忠）の御代であり、諸事丁寧に造営されたものである。弘治・天正（の造営）は簡略であった。然らば、寛永の度のように作るべきである、との事が定まった、云々。
（しかし正大工は、）天正の（造り）のようにすべきではないか、と断ったにもかかわらず、また寛永の例によるべしとなった、云々。
また神主が言うには、「只今（現在）の内陣の板敷きと大床（おおゆか）・外陣の板敷きを比べると、内陣は五寸低く下がっている。これもまた社の旧例であろう。しかしながら今度（の造替）においては、内陣の板敷きを外の大床と平等に（同じ高さに）作り上げるべしとのことで、これはまた新儀（先例のない新しいやり方）ではないか、云々。」
御浜床（おはまゆか）の高さ（に支障が）入れられないので、その高さに応じて天井を指し上げる（高くする）べしとの沙汰である、云々。
〔私（季通）が〕申すには、「有来り（これまでの慣例）のように造るべき事である。昔より（内陣の床が）外陣大床より低くなっているがゆえに、只今（現在のように）内陣に入る時に下りて……」

*(Continuing from the previous page)* "…and [the details] are fully written out therein, etc." In a previous year, when Nakai Mondo came to conduct an inspection, [I] showed him [the documents] at the Sawada worship hall (haiden), whereupon Mondo praised [them], saying: "Truly, these are secret documents handed down within the household of the shrine's chief master carpenter (shō-daiku), and are matters of the utmost importance to this shrine, etc." Regarding this [current] reconstruction, the detailed arrangements designating the chief master carpenter (shō-daiku) as the overall master builder (sō-tōryō) for all matters proved ineffective, and it became the shrine priest's ruling that [the chief carpenter] should share authority over labor and construction fees on equal footing with the general master carpenters (sō-daiku). Furthermore, after [the chief carpenter] protested and lamented [this arrangement], it was settled that the chief master carpenter would undertake construction of half of both the Main Shrine (shōden) and the Temporary Shrine (gonsha), etc.
Saemon further said: "Regarding the shrine construction of the Kōji and Tenshō eras,
**[Annotation in red ink:]**
*The Wamyōshō* says: "tsuka-bashira" (束柱, pillar/post). The *Kōteishiki* says: "tsuka-bashira" — [phonetic rendering:] tsu-ka-ha-shi-ra. "Sasu" (杈), "head/capital" (首). Yang's *Kangoshō* says: "sasu" (杈首) — sa-su. The phonetic reading of 杈 (sasu) is the fanqie of shō-ga (初牙反).
[This construction] is of the tsuka-tate (束立て, post-and-pillar) style. There is an investigation indicating that the current [rebuilding] employs the sasu-tate (叉首立て, rafter-frame/scissor-truss) style. In the Kan'ei reconstruction, the current shrine is called the sasu-tate, uchi-dai-zukuri (inner platform construction). This style of construction is the same as that of the Shishinden (Ceremonial Hall) of the Imperial Palace (kinri), etc.
Whether this same [inner platform] construction was used prior to the Tenshō era is unknown, as there is no documentary evidence.
**[Left Folio]**
Why was [the shrine] built in the uchi-dai (inner platform) style during the Kan'ei [reconstruction]? The Kan'ei [reconstruction] was carried out during the reign of Lord Daitoku-in (Tokugawa Hidetada), and all matters were constructed with great care and thoroughness. The constructions of the Kōji and Tenshō eras were simplified. Therefore, it was decided that [the shrine] should be built in the same manner as the Kan'ei reconstruction, etc.
Although [the chief carpenter Saemon] objected, saying it should perhaps follow the Tenshō style, it was again decided that the Kan'ei precedent should be followed, etc.
The shrine priest (kannagi/kannushi) then said: "Comparing the current inner sanctum (naijin) floor planking with the great floor (ōyuka) of the outer sanctuary (gejin), the inner sanctum is five sun lower [than the outer floor]. This too may be an old tradition of the shrine. However, for this reconstruction, there is a proposal that the inner floor planking should be made at the same level (equal in height) as the outer great floor — and is this not perhaps an unprecedented change (shinji)?, etc."
Since the height [of the structure] does not permit the installation of the sacred beach floor (o-hama-yuka), it has been determined that the ceiling should be raised accordingly to match that height, etc.
[I, Suetsū,] stated: "It should be constructed according to established custom (arikitari). Because from ancient times the [inner sanctum floor] has been lower than the outer sanctuary great floor, when one currently enters the inner sanctum, one descends…"
