User:Immanuelle/Shogun senge

Should be redirected to Feng Shan Japanese section

Shogun senge [ja] was the ritual by which the Emperor of Japan gave the Shogun their position. It was accompanied by the ritual of the Festival of the Deva and Naraka [ja] which was seen as the Japanese equivalent of Feng Shan and dedicated to Dongyue Dadi.

The term "将軍宣下" (shogun senge) refers to the ceremony in which the Emperor of Japan appoints the leader of the military government, who exercises supreme authority over Japan, to the position of "Seii Taishogun" (literally "Commander-in-Chief for the Subjugation of the Barbarians"). The appointment also recognizes the right to exercise public authority, as these leaders were also appointed to court ranks of third rank or higher.

The leader of the military government secured power through military strength and implemented feudal land ownership and legal rule. However, the legitimacy of this power and recognition of their noble status were only established through the "shogun senge" by the Emperor, who still held a central authoritative position.

During the Kamakura period, it is generally believed that the "shogun senge" was not performed. This is because there were no examples of such appointments being made outside Kyoto, and the successive shoguns of the Kamakura shogunate, starting with Minamoto no Yoritomo, were appointed through another method called "jemoku." However, it is notable that the shogun appointed by the Hojo regents from Kyoto received the "shogun senge".
