If it is not too late, perhaps a formof the "cap" ceremony, where a young male of the buke took the formal headgear of adulthood, and if I remember correctly, assumed his adult name, would be a good starting point for Japanese knighting? Receipt of a tachi and rolls of fabric for his new role in society from some lord or sponsor...
I believe that it is the closest approximation in Japanese society to knighting. The NHK Yoshitsune drama has a fairly simple version of the ceremony which nevertheless is fairly impressive,in my humble opinion. Others may be able to suggest better, more elaborate, or easier to find portayals.

Noble Cousins! Greetings from Solveig! If it is not too late, perhaps a formof the "cap" ceremony, where a young male of the buke took the formal headgear of adulthood, and if I remember correctly, assumed his adult name, would be a good starting point for Japanese knighting? I do not recommend this approach. There are plenty of opportunities to receive promotions and appointments during one's career in Japan. There is a book (in my office) which deals with oaths and such things in pre-modern Japan. Swords, Oaths, And Prophetic Visions: Authoring Warrior Rule in Medieval Japan

Is there something wrong with Stanford? If nothing else you can check the author's bibliography for original Japanese texts if this, admittedly English, book isn't good enough.

This was in response to your citation of "a book (in my office)." Given my location, finding the book at Stanford is much more convenient than making a pilgrimage to your office. Although the UHP edition you cited was checked out, I was able to lay my hands on the original dissertation the next day. I didn't read it all, but I did find it exceptionally readable for a dissertation. I also had the pleasure of discovering that a good friend of mine was on the reading committee.
