By the Sovereign Grandchild’s command, it is reported before the Imperial Great Kami that, according to precedent, the great sanctuary has been rebuilt after twenty years. Fifty-four kinds of divine vestments and furnishings and twenty-one kinds of sacred treasures have been prepared, purified, and entrusted to the appointed official for reverent presentation. The same formula is used for Toyouke no Miya.
