The food gifts presented by relatives and used as offerings for Confucian seasonal rites and occasional rites, which were mainly organized by Shunsui Rai (1746-1816), a Confucian of the Hiroshima feudal clan in the later Edo era, were investigated. The relatives consisted of Shunsui's two brothers, an uncle, a son, and five marriage-relatives. The two brothers, Shunpû and Kyôhei, presented the most, with tade-zushi ( sushi prepared with water pepper) and yokan ( azuki bean jelly) respectively being habitually presented. Kyôhei, his wife and children often helped arrange for the rites one day before. The subsequent generation of Shunpû and Kyôhei each presented the habitual food, and began to help in arrangements from childhood. Those who lived far from Hiroshima sent food offerings by sea that could be preserved for some time: the son of Shunsui, Sanyô, presented sake and sweets from Kyoto, and dried turnips were sent from the parents' house of Baishi, the wife of Shunsui, in Osaka. Hikosuke Shindô and Kazuma Komai, the respective husbands of Shunsui's daughter and niece, presented the most among the marriage-relatives and they continued to present food offerings even after the death of their wives.
