recommendation to the throne
Archaic term for formally recommending someone to the emperor or imperial court. Not used in modern Japanese outside historical contexts.
平安時代の貴族は、有能な人材を奏薦することがあった。

Compound of 奏 (report to the throne) and 薦 (recommend). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the spelling is conventionally associated with the meaning of an official recommendation to the emperor.
