...However, according to the entries for December 15 and 18, 1160, in the Sangaiki, the appointment of falconers was said to have been made by a letter from the Kuranosho, and in fact, letters addressed to Kinno in Kawachi Province in 1218 (Kenpo 6) and 1248 (Hoji 2) appointing Shimogono Yoshitake and Takesada to falconers were preserved in the Choshi documents, which show that appointment by letter rather than letter was the norm.
