1941, 田畑修一郎, 医師高間房一氏, 青空文庫:
- 田舎町の習慣として、婚礼とか祭礼とか、葬式、法要などが盛んで、狭い町中がお互ひの家の奥向きの様子など手にとる如く知り合つてゐるほど交際が密であつたから、家ごとに何かあるといつも同じやうな顔ぶれ、つまり殆ど町中の人が時期と場所を変へただけで寄り集ることが多かつた。

- As customs of a rural town, weddings, festivals, funerals, and Buddhist services were frequent, and the relationships between the people of the small town were so close-knit that they knew the inner parts of each other’s homes like the backs of their hands, so every time there was an event at one of their houses, there would always be the same faces present, that is, often almost everyone in the town would gather together, just at a different time and location on each occasion.
