Temple worship - Innohairei

Japanese: 院拝礼 - いんのはいれい

An annual Imperial Court event. One of the morning greetings held every year on the first day of the New Year at the Imperial Palace. It refers to the ceremony in which the Emperor visits the Retired Emperor's palace to offer his thanks. Another theory is that it refers to a ceremony in which officials and ministers pay homage to the Retired Emperor. It began on the first day of the New Year in 1073 (Enkyu 5), when Emperor Shirakawa visited the Retired Emperor Gosanjo's palace to offer his thanks. It is clear that it was held from then until the Genroku, Kyoho, and Kan'en eras of the 18th century. [Yamanaka Yutaka]

宮廷年中行事。毎年，正月元日に院の御所においておこなわれる朝賀の一つ。天皇が上皇の御所へ朝賀に参る儀式をいう。また，一説に百官群臣が太上天皇を拝する儀式をいうともある。1073年(延久5)正月元日，白河天皇が後三条上皇の御所へ朝賀に参ったのを，そのはじめとする。以後，18世紀の元禄，享保，寛延年間まで，おこなわれていたことが明らかである。【山中裕】
