(Continued from previous page) — communicated via Den'uemon.
Note: As there will be no escort attendant from this year, one additional ladies' palanquin has been added, making eight palanquins in total, with four palanquin bearers and two hip-side attendants (koshizoe). The matter of obtaining clearance at the kitte gate was communicated to Den'uemon.
One item: As one palanquin attendant (okago-tsuki) alone would be insufficient for making inquiries, the addition of one more palanquin attendant to enter within the castle grounds was communicated in the same manner as above.
One item: 14th Day of the Third Month
Concerning the matter of gifts to the ladies-in-waiting attached to the Dainagon, whereas until last year the gifts had been presented on the occasion of the visit to the Nishi-maru (Western Citadel), from this year they are to be presented on the occasion of the visit to the Hon-maru (Main Citadel). Notification of this was made by sending the caretaker official (o-rusuii), Katō Chōuemon (Masatoshi), as a messenger to the duty elder (go-yōban), Matsudaira Ukon-no-shōgen (Takemoto), and also to the senior councilor assigned to the Dainagon, Akimoto Tajima-no-kami (Suzutomo).
Note: As the senior ladies-in-waiting (otoshiyori) had previously communicated informally that they wished henceforth for the gifts to the ladies attached to the Dainagon to be presented on the occasion of visits to the Hon-maru, we had inquired discreetly of Senior Councilor Hotta Sagami-no-kami, who gave his assent, and it was communicated to us that we should relay his instructions to the duty elder and the senior councilors of the Nishi-maru accordingly.
One item: 15th Day of the Same Month (at the Hour of the Boar [approx. 10 a.m.]) — For the first time since succeeding to the headship of the house, [Ogimaru] visited the Ōoku (Great Interior) of the Hon-maru — (continued on next page)
