In the ancient Japanese government, nairan (内覧) was the inspection of documents submitted to the tennō (emperor), or the position held by those who performed the inspection.[1]

The tennō usually gave a nairan-no-senji (内覧の宣旨, an imperial edict of inspection) to the regent (either a sesshō or kampaku).
