*''Japanese'': 御礼参賀 ''(orei sanga)''
''Orei sanga'' were celebratory events called by the [[Ashikaga shogunate|Ashikaga shoguns]], at which samurai, ''[[kuge]]'', monks, and others were obliged to come pay respects to the shogun, and to present him with gifts. Such events took place especially frequently during the reign of [[Ashikaga Yoshinori]] (r. [[1429]]-[[1441]]), ranging from once every few months to multiple times in a month. At each such ''orei sanga'' event, guests were obliged to present the shogun with a sword, and early on, with a horse as well.
These events marked a major shift in the gift-giving practices of the ''kuge''. Prior to this, the presentation or exchange of swords as gifts was largely a samurai practice, but beginning in the early/mid-15th century, it became quite standard for ''kuge'' to present swords to the shogun, to the [[Emperor]] or [[Retired Emperor]], and to one another.
The first such event seems to have taken place on [[1423]]/3/20. According to the ''[[Kanmon Nikki]]'', nn celebration of the accession of Shogun [[Ashikaga Yoshikazu]], courtiers and warriors were requested to appear before the shogun, and to present gifts of horses and swords, "with no one excepted." Numerous courtiers and warriors traveled to the [[Muromachi palace]] and did so in a grand audience with the shogun on that date. A number of Buddhist monks and ''[[monzeki]]'' (Imperial princes serving as temple abbots) did so later that same day, or on a later date.
