The above example shows that a party of three guests engaged three sh�gi and one geisha, the latter having been employed during the burning of four joss-sticks (senk�). It also shows that they were supposed to have ordered three sets of �-dai (large dishes) and one set of nami-dai (small-dishes) and consumed four bottles of saké. It is superfluous to give an example of the system of book-keeping employed in hikite-jaya because it is practically the same.
