As for enterning secretly through the window, it is difficult to enter through a "light-window" because it has a door on the inner side. [However], a window that is shut every evening is good for entering because it does not have an inner door and its upper latch could be openned.

*The author uses the character for "door" in the text, but it refers to a shutter or bars.

"Light-window" is a small alongated window located in the upper section of the wall, immediately under the roof, and is designed to let light into the house during the day. However, the window usually has shutters or fixed bars attached to it, which are difficult to remove. This is a common feature in Edo period Japanese houses.

Also, there is a tool for breaking mud walls. This tool is similar in shape to the noko, with a round blade one shaku five or six sun in diameter. Turn and pull it, and cut open [the wall]. For [entering through] a fence, or live-fence, saw off the bottom of a bucket, push the bucket through the fence and pass through it. If you need to return, use this as your way out. Furthermore, if you are being chased, pull out the bucket to hide your traces and to make it difficult [for your chaser] to go through.

*Sawing off the bottom of a bucket will turn the bucket into a pipe through which one can crawl through.
