[TRANS NOTE: Text line has unusual form of the word 'wakizashi' (“short sword”) namely (脇指シ) which is phonetically identical 'wakizashi'. Probably the difference in script is to signify that the sheathed short sword has been moved up and around in the belt in readiness to draw, hence brought between his body and yours. (指シ = 指し) “between two objects or persons”. It would be easy to misjudge and mis-translate a specific adaptive idiom like this, one would think it says something about the finger alongside the hilt of the sword (the jutted out index finger or the pinkie finger perhaps?) ]

計三捨六ケ条
Kei Sanroku Kajō
The Plan of Thirty (36) Articles


TRANS NOTE: This line of entry in the Japanese textbook that the record was taken from, I think it is as close as the text came to recording the subject of the 36 items that would be found at this point in the scroll. There would be some kind of listings here that number thirty six items or rather, might be a description or even a graphic depiction representing the 36 items. It's hard to be sure without seeing the actual original scroll.


THE FOLLOWING OMMISSION FROM THIS VERSION OF THE SCROLL,
PRESUMED ORIGINAL TO THE TEXT:



右奥儀御信用之手
大東流柔術熱心不淺稽古
無懈怠勝利之働依有
之今般本目録相傅侯
不疑心切磋琢磨之上必
勝之術可被相叶候依如件
The aforementioned secrets are techniques upon which one can rely, the Daito Ryu Jujutsu School considered zealous and serious minded. That old vibrant triumph of mobile activity. This current general arrangement of the mokuroku is in expectation of tradition. Doubtless polishing of a person, the topmost secrets of the polishing stone which is consequently the circumstance
of the responsa of the techniques of victory.


大東流柔術本部長武田惣角源正義

大正五年參月吉日

北海道絞別郡上湧別白滝二段

植芝盛平殿

The Daito Ryu Jujutsu School Headmaster (hombuchō) Takeda Sōkaku Minamoto Masayoshi.

Written on a lucky day March 1917 during the Taishō era.

Hokkaido island Monbetsugunjō Yūbetsu Shirataki of the Second Rank (Nidan).

Mr. Ueshiba Morihei

IMPORTANT TRANS NOTE:
These lines of entry came from Mr. Christian Flament's personal copy of the Nihon Budō Zenshū Vol 5 (Tōkyō : Jinbutsu ōraisha. Imamura, Yoshio 1966). It's based on the very late 19th and early 20th Century document, and is directly associated with both Sokaku Takeda and Morihei Ueshiba. It's a small scroll-like award certificate used to demarcate rank and station. A COPY OF THE PAGE HAS BEEN ADDED BELOW AS PROOF TEXT TO THE INCLUSION. Please note that, in keeping with the Older nature of this copy of the Hidensho, all the Shintaiji Kanji were replaced with the more appropriate Classical Kanji. The full document shown in Mr. Flament's book seems to have actually descended from the Type Two Variation we translated and posted as of April 2016. The same addendum was added to that fiile, since this was the case.
The Conclusionary remark above it is about the same as the Conclusionary remark on the previous section of the scroll, namely, the Hiden Mokuroku section, which is most usual and proper (normally the Conclusionary remark, in some form, does exist at the end of other sections of a Densho scroll after the first instance of it has occurred, quite commonly, that would be at the second section of the densho and not the first.) We simply did not have a proof text to provide as an example, until December of 2017, and so could not place the Conclusionary remark in it's proper place. The second and even third occurance of such a Conclusionary remark quite commonly shows some differencing from the first instance of its occurance in a densho scroll.
