Toryanse (Pass You May)」「As you will know, Tokyo is the capital of Japan. It is situated a little to the east of the」、三十九頁に「central part of Honshu, and faces the Pacific Ocean. "Toryanse" is a song which has long been sung by the children of Tokyo while they play in the wintertime the game explained below.」「Two children stand facing each other and form an arch with their arms stretched upward. The rest of the children pass under the arch one by one, singing the song of "Toryanse". The two children who make the arch exchange questions and answers in the form of a song with each child who is going to pass under their arms.」「The words of the song go something like this: " 'Pass you may. Pass you may.' 'Where does this narrow lane lead?' 'It reaches to the Tenjin Shrine.' 'Please let me pass.' 'No, you cannot unless you have a good reason.' 'Well, I should like to visit the Tenjin Shrine to celebrate the seventh birthday of my child.' 'All right, then, pass you may, but we can't tell what may happen to you on your way back.' 'You frighten me, but I must go come what may.' " While singing like this, the child hurriedly passes through the arch.」「The Tokugawa Shogunate founded in 1603 established a law that all local daimyo (feudal lords) should leave their wives in Edo, the present Tokyo, as hostages. This was to ensure that the husbands would not revolt against the government. In addition, checkpoints were established on all highways leading to Edo to examine strictly all who passed through - a precaution aimed at preventing the smuggling in of guns and also at preventing the daimyo's wives running away from Edo. Anyone who wanted to pass a checkpoint was required to show a pass, and it was simply impossible to go through without one. People in those days therefore abhored these checkpoints, and their fear naturally made itself felt among children. Hence the appearance of the games similar to "Toranse" all over the country.」「Coming back to the subject of the game itself, when a child trying to hurry through the arch is caught, he (she) is swung back and forth in the arms of the two children making the arch, and is finally thrown back in the direction opposite to the one in which he (she) wants to go.」と記載。雑資料「JAPANESE NURSERY & CHILDREN'S SONGS」四十頁に通りゃんせの絵図あり。
