noun
Obsolete term for a gift or present, especially one offered to a superior or in a formal context. Not used in modern Japanese; replaced by words like 贈り物 or プレゼント.
江戸時代の文書には、殿様への進上物の記録が残っている。
Records of gifts presented to the feudal lord remain in documents from the Edo period.
Common loanword for a gift, often implying a more casual or personal present.
The verb or noun meaning 'presenting to a superior'; 進上物 is the object being presented.
Compound of 進上 (shinjō, 'presenting to a superior') + 物 (mono, 'thing'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term follows a common pattern for naming objects associated with an action.
