*''Japanese'': 大嘗祭 ''(daijousai)''
The ''daijôsai'' is a secret ritual performed by the [[Emperor]] immediately following his accession to the throne. Little is known about the details of the rite, but it involves the one performing ritual making his first offering of rice as Emperor, consuming rice, and becoming imbued with the spiritual power of his forebears.
