Question

Now, in the days of the daimios, it was the custom, when their lord passed by, for

all the loyal people to shut up their high windows. They even pasted them fast

with a slip of paper, so as not to commit the impertinence of looking down on his

lordship. All the people along the road would fall upon their hands and knees and

remain prostrate until the procession passed by. The train drew near. One tall,

competent man marched ahead, crying out to the people by the way, “Get down

on your knees! Get down on your knees!” And everyone kneeled down while the

procession was passing. (5)

(i) What was the custom of the Daimio’s?
