When sometimes a passport has not been previously given on the road, the Daimio to give to the keeper of the government inn his seal and a paper to this effect. Some officers travel free on the road, and their expenses become a tax upon the people living in villages along the road, and who are supposed to benefit by the travelers. Of such are Daimios coming to pay respects to a new Shiogoon upon his accession. In 1861 the Ooyay no mia, or High-priest of Yedo, traveled with 250 followers. He was about nineteen years of age. The walls of the inns at which he stopped were newly papered, and new clean mats put on the floors. For this the villages paid, he paying one boo--_i.e._, 1s. 6d.; and on leaving, his servants tore the paper off and cut the mats, that they might not be used again. As to the Shoshidai, or envoy of the Shiogoon, when traveling. As to the governors of the castles of Osaka, Soonpu, or Miako, or the guards of these castles. Governors of places held of the Shiogoon, but at great distances from Yedo, as Nagasaki and Hakodadi. As to Koongays and such high officers when traveling. As to Ray kayshi, or messengers sent annually to Nikko by the Emperor. As to carriage of ingredients for making gunpowder. The Daikwangs, who look after the government farms and woods. All of their men and goods are carried along the public roads at the expense of the villages. By this office the ceremonial due to high officers upon the road is arranged. If a Daimio in his norimono meet a high Koongay--one of the Sekkay or Monzekke--his porters must not walk on, but must stop till the high officer has passed, but he need not get out. The same respect is to be paid to the otchatsubo, or jars containing the tea for the use of the Shiogoon. A Byshing--_i.e._, one of the higher retinue of a Daimio--must leave his norimono and kneel down, taking off his hat. The same respect is to be shown by these Daimios and Byshings to anything bearing the red seal of the Shiogoon, to the great guards bringing up muskets, to the governors of the castles at Miako, Soonpu, and Osaka, and to the Shoshidai. When a Daimio meets the Tenso, his norimono is to be carried slowly, and on one side of the road. A Byshing must kneel and take off his hat. Porters can be obtained from 4 A.M. to 8 P.M., but not at any later hour. Koongay and Monzekke are to be provided at the public expense with 35 horses and 50 porters. If they require more, they must defray the expense themselves.
