January
- New
Year’s Day
Yoshino's family visited the shrine in his village and visited their family Buddhist temple, which was called Nakadera. Villagers greeted each other a happy New Year.
From the 2nd of January, people visited their relatives and acquaintances for New Year greetings. Those lasted until the end of January.

The meeting for O-shishigari started
on the 7th of January. He went to the local office which was 5km away, and he
visited there again with his seal. The letter which required him to dispatch
farmers to O-shishigari was circulated on the 27th.

- Gatherings and trips
- Gatherings and trips
They started farming on the 11th
which means they had a 10-day New Year’s holiday from 1st of January.
We Japanese did not have Sunday as a rest day. I think it would have been
precious relaxation for them.
Young men gathered at night on the 9th,
they stayed together and waited for sunrise. They might have enjoyed the party
with sake (rice wine).
Another gathering to worship the Benten
god was held at night of the 23rd.
Two people who were given a donation
from Kou-group departed for Ueno, which is 20km away, in order to join Benten-Kou.
It must be a big fun for them to go to Edo with his friend.
His father who was a retiree left on the 25th and went to Edo. It was a half-day trip. He returned on the 28th. I am sure he enjoyed entertainment in Edo for 3 days. He visited Edo frequently this year.

・1月（その２：集いとミニ旅行）
お鹿狩りがあるこの年も日々の暮らしは、例年の如く行われ、11日は田畑の耕し始めになっている。元旦からの10日間は骨休めである。土曜日曜がないこのころ、ゆっくりできたものだろう。

その2日前、9日には、若者たちが夜に集まって、夜を過ごして朝を待つ、「日待真似」を楽しんでいる、騒いだはずだ。23日には夜に辨天様を祭る巳待講（巳の日に行う）が開かれている。27日には、20km離れた上野辨天講に出立する2人に講金が託されている。二人での旅立ちは楽しい。
父親が、25日に出府し、28日に戻る。用事は記載されていないが江戸までは、半日の旅であり、大都会を楽しんだであろう。父は、その後も頻繁に出府する。

Studying
It is very cold in this area. The high temperature doesn’t s go over 10 degree Celsius and low temperature is less than 0 degree Celsius sometimes in February.
I am surprised that the private school started Tenarai or lessons on the 7th of February. It’s too late! Tenarai consisted of reading, writing and calculating. It was effective system, so it is said that 50% of men and 20% of women could read in this time. In Edo, 90% of people could read. All samurais could read and write of course. The literacy of Japan was more than the UK’s during this time probably.
-Peaceful daily lives continued in Shibasaki.

-Peaceful daily lives continued in Shibasaki.
They had a party called Mujin. They
enjoyed lottery in that party. The master Tuneemon stayed in Shigesaburo’s
house because Benten-Kou, which was the party for worshiping Benten-god, was
held. I think they enjoyed talking, eating and drinking.
Futon mattress repairmen who made
futon softer by treating cotton inside futon came to the village.
Visitors came from Koyasan which is
more than 600km away. They asked donations for building a monument in Koyasan. I
understand the reason why there are so many buildings in Koyasan. They walked
across Japan in order to gather donations, that's why.
・2月（手習い）
寒い時期である。鹿狩りの準備は続けられる。
驚いたのは、手習い稽古始が、7日、遅くないか。
手習いは江戸時代から続く、教育システム。おかげで、幕末期の日本人庶民の識字率は、男子で50%、女子で20%、江戸市中では90%だったと言う。
専門職の綿打ちが来たり、無盡があったり、日々の暮らしは続いていく。
お泊りは、22日、辨天講で重三郎の家に。
高野山北室から、牌を立てるための勧請も来ている。高野山は600km以上離れている。そんな遠いところからも来るなんて。日本の社寺は立派なはずである。
