*''Japanese'': 入内 ''(judai)''

The ceremony in which a new principal imperial consort (''nyôgo''<!--女御-->) entered the Imperial Court was known as ''judai''. This ceremony dates back at least as far as the reign of [[Emperor Daigo]] (r. [[885]]-[[930]]), and though it declined in the 14th century, it was revived, and practiced through the entry of [[Ichijo Haruko|Ichijô Haruko]] (the future Empress Dowager Shôken) into the Court of the [[Meiji Emperor]]. Their son, Crown Prince Yoshihito (the future [[Taisho Emperor|Taishô Emperor]]) would be the first Japanese [[emperor]] to have a formal religious wedding ceremony.
