* "Bunkyu 3", 3, 11 (April 29, 1863): Emperor Komei made an Imperial progress to Kamo-jinja. He was accompanied by the shogun, all the principal officials and many feudal lords. This was the first Imperial progress since Go-Minoo visited Nijo Castle more than 230 years before; and an Emperor had not visited Kamo since GoDaigo honored both shrines on Kemmu 1, 9, 27.
