Each guest writes down No. 1, 2, 3, or 5 in order of deduction by listening (because the order of listening to incense is unknown since the incense numbered 1, 2, 3 and 5 are not trial incense), and then insert the folded paper when No. 4 incense is recognized, and the guest writes 'Ayame' in the upper right to clearly show the existence of Ayame.
客は記紙に、聞き捨てた順に一、二、三、五とかく（これらは無試のため、香りの順番がわからないため）が、聞き当てる四の香を出たところに織り込み、右肩に「アヤメ」と記し、菖蒲の存在を明示する。
