THE RED LANTERN ERL Fifty-one years ago, al civil officials above the fifth grade of the central and.. local Governments were required to report to an authority named "Benji," their ar rivals in Tokyo and their departures there from, and their stay over night out of Tokyo during their sojourn in the Imperial capital. Early in the following year, that in to say, in 1870, all the prefectures and † clans, for clans were not fully abolished Lyst were notified that they should not tie lanterns with red marks the paper or any, design likely to be mistaken for the official lantern mark adopted by the cen tral authorities. Three months later n Turther notice was issued to the effect that' the previous instructions applied only to lanterns, carried in hand or in the belt. and that the official marks should not be Of course, put on any other lanterns.
red did not mean anything dangerous or Bolsherik in those days.
WHAT TO DO AFTER A BIRT Dated June 17th the same year, the Government officials of the chokunin or Imperially appointed class were instructed to proceed to the Palace, in the event, of a fire in the neighbourhood, to pay their resprets to his Majesty (or as a token of Those of the sogin or their sympathy),
next lower class were to do likewise by appearing in their respective offices. When the officials were dispatched to a distant) locality, they were granted one to three days off a their return. For more than 100 ri, a three days' holiday; for between 50 and 100 ri, a day's vacation. This was, of course, in pre railway days. In October the local-government offices were ordered to display camp-curtains and lanterna beating the Imperial crest, at the gates and the entrances. In December the afficina were instructed to sign their names. in the order of official position, family name and individual name, while the re tired oficials sad people of court rank were also to write their ranks first. Pres viously to this instruction, the famis name proceeded the official position, without thei individual name at all-e.g.. Hara Sori-! daijin. On the next day after this in- struation omission of this formality became permissible in everyday official correspon- dence, though the individual name bad to be added in the ease of two officials haring the same rank and family name.
Written inquiries or requests were to. be sent to the Government offices in dupli cate, This implied that answer, com pinner or perarission was to be written in the original document. If the original was voluminous, however, and the matter required hurry, the duplicate might be sent in afterwards. Official letters were to be accompanied by a receipt book, in which the topic of each letter should be indicated The receipt seni was to be put under the topic.
TRIMMING THE TEMPLES.
A notification dated June 20th, 1871, reiterated a former instruction and strictly forbade all the Buddhist temples, except two, to put up a notice board in their ground asking visitors to dismount or to quit their palanquins on a specified spot. You may still see this notice in the grounds of Bhideti shrines of high rank. It is a form of doing. homage to the Imperial ancestors. A proclamation is sued four months later pointed to demo orary, it seems, for it eliminated the use of high-sounding ancient clan names. in official documents. The usage is still re tained in the annual poetic contest in the Imperial Palace, for which writers of both sexes and of all classes sond in their 31 syllable" taka on the subject chosen by His Majesty. On this occasion every poet who can trace his or her ancestry to one of the few classical names, signs as a Fujiwara" or a Minamoto.
