On this occasion, the problem was caused due to the elephant not having any official position and not being able to enter the Imperial Palace, the elephant was given ' 広南従四位白象 (Kankan Ju Shii White elephant)' in haste and was then allowed into the Palace.
この際、象が無位無官であるため参内の資格がないとの問題が起こり、急遽「広南従四位白象」との称号を与えて参内させた。
