the retinue. The ceremony began at
dusk and lasted until just before mid
night.
About one hour after the ceremony
at the Yuki shrine similar ceremony
was performed at the Suki shrine,
when the emperor personally offered
the sacred rice, sake wine and other
food offerings before the spirits of the
deities of earth. The ceremony lasted
until early morning. Its successful
termination was held to forecast the
prosperity and everlasting tranquility
of the reign and the new sovereign, the
Emperor of TaiSho.
Rite of Selecting Rice Field.
One of the most picturesque of all
the coronation rites were those con-
nected with the planting, growth and
serving of the rice to be offered by the
emperor to the spirits of the imperial
ancestors and the deities of heaven and
earth. The regulations concerning the
planting take account of certain forms
of divinatiun.
The fields to be honored with the
planting and growth of the sacred rice
were selected from the region to the
southwest of Kioto, called the Yuki
district. and others in the northwest
ern district of Kioto known as the
Suki region. In making the choice the
officials concerned rely upon the find
ing of the OWNERS, who, taking the
thinnest part of a deer's shoulder
blade and a branch of the habaka, a
species of cherry tree. place the latter
in fire and then apply the burning
splits with the heat The direction of
the split decides the fields to be Sc
lected. The bone has been used from
the earliest times, but latterly the use
of the bone was replaced by a piece of
polished tortoise shell, which is sub
jected to the same proceedings.
The ceremonies for deciding the fields
for the planting and growth of the
sacred rice for the present coronation
were held before the imperial ances-
tors shrine of the imperial palace in
Toxic.
sacred fire was made and two
pieces of polished tortoise she'll, one
for the Yuki district and the other for
the Suki. were held up over the flames
of the burning habaka tree. When the
tortoise shells cracked with the heat
they were handed to the chief of the
coronation committee. The ceremony
was conducted amid the most profound
silence.
One koku, or about five bushels of
rice, was taken from each field. Ex-
traordinary care was observed in the
cultivation. The area used for the cul-
tivatiop of the plant was about an
acre or more in each field. and each
plantation was inclosed with a row of
thirty-three trees garlanded with
ropes of straw.
The rice sprouts were planted by vir-
gins in fulfillment of sacred traditions,
The fields were guarded day and night
The men who weeded the fields and
drove away hungry birds during the
growth and ripening of the plants were
purified daily.
