noun
moving houses (of a nobleman, emperor, etc.)
Obsolete honorific term for the relocation of a high-ranking person's residence. Used in historical contexts.
古文書には、帝の移徙が記されている。
The ancient document records the emperor's moving of residence.
noun
taking out a mikoshi (for a festival, etc.)
Obsolete term for the ceremonial removal of a portable shrine. Now expressed with modern vocabulary.
祭礼の際の神輿の渡座は、古い記録にのみ見られる。
The taking out of the mikoshi during festivals is only seen in old records.
The historical derivation is uncertain. The kanji 移徙 literally suggest 'moving' and 'migration,' while 渡座 implies 'crossing' and 'seat/shrine,' reflecting the two obsolete senses.
