Regarding the Joint Deity-welcoming Festival of Jilong's Qing'an Temple, Chenghuang Temple, and Dianji Temple, at two in the afternoon on the 11th, a serious meeting was held at the Qing'an Temple with Mayor Kawahara, Vice Mayor Yamashita, Ōmi Tokigorō, Xu Zisang, Wang Tusheng, and a number of other officials and citizens in attendance. After the end of the festival they held a discussion before the spirits and decided next year's luzhu [NB: the term "luzhu" applied to a lay leader at Taiwanese temples] and lead families...Vice Mayor Yamashita gave thanks on behalf of the invited guests, and expressed the hope that Denryōkō, Takigawa machi, Hama machi, and Meiji machi [NB: most of these districts had sizable Japanese populations] would all welcome the spirits independently. Next year's joint festival will be a great collective event in the city, by reducing wasteful spending and conserving the people's energy.
