| Besides this, on May 5 (lunar calender) each year preceding the 'komahiki' event, there was another ceremony where horses to be used in horseback archery and horse racing that had been presented to the emperor by princes and nobles were displayed in front of the Emperor. |
なお、これとは別に毎年5月5日_(旧暦)の節会に先立って、騎射・競馬の儀式の際に用いられる馬を親王・公卿ら及び畿内周辺諸国から献上された馬を天皇の御前に披露する駒牽の儀式もあった。 |
