*''Date: 8/1''
*''Japanese'': 八朔 ''(hassaku)''
''Hassaku'' was an annual festival of first fruits, observed on the 1st day of the 8th month of the [[Japanese calendar|lunar calendar]], at the end of summer and beginning of autumn harvest. It was also a traditional occasion for samurai and [[kuge|courtiers]] to give gifts to those who have shown them favor, i.e. their lords or superiors. ''Hassaku'' was, during the [[Edo period]] at least, one of two annual festivals during which ''daimyô'' presented swords, as a show of fealty, to the [[shogun]]. The [[Tokugawa shogunate]] claimed the date to be in commemoration of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Tokugawa Ieyasu's]] first entry into the [[Kanto|Kantô]] in [[1590]].<ref>Anne Walthall, “Hiding the Shoguns.” In ''The Culture of Secrecy in Japanese Religion'', ed.
