現代語訳

また上唇の髭を剪って揃えさせる者も時々いる。

【五官正】
国中でただ三種類の人が皆僧のように髪を剃る。一つは医官で五官正と名付けられる者。一つは王宮で茶を供する役目の者で宗叟と名付けられ、また御茶湯と呼ばれる六人。またその他に庭園の水やりを司る六人がいて、皆完全に髪を剃り、黒色の六つの稜がある幔頂で広い縁の帽子を戴く。これを片帽と名付ける。衣服の外には多く短掛一領を着る。大衣より大体二、三尺ほど短く、黒色である。この二種類の人は皆いつ呼び出されるか分からない役目に就いており、髪を櫛で梳く時間があると時事に差し支えるおそれがあるので、皆簡素にするために（髪を剃る）と言う。

英語訳

There are also occasionally those who trim and arrange the mustache on the upper lip.

【Five Officials Chief (Gokan-sei)】
In the country, only three types of people all shave their hair like monks. One is the medical official called Gokan-sei (Five Officials Chief). One is those who serve tea in the royal palace, called Sōsō and also called Ochayu (御茶湯), numbering six people. There are also six people who manage garden irrigation, all of whom completely shave their hair and wear black six-ridged curtain-topped hats with wide brims, called kata-bōshi (one-sided hats). Over their clothing they often wear a short outer garment called tan-gake. This is about two to three shaku shorter than the great robe and is black in color. These two types of people all serve in roles where they may be summoned at any time, and if they spend time combing their hair, it might interfere with urgent matters, so they all adopt this simplified approach (of shaving their hair).
