Only Daimyo (Japanese Feudal Lord), or higher class people can go
inside the Haiden Oratory. Also, worshipping place was arranged by
each social status strictly. The special room was equipped on the
eastside for the Shogun. The Shogun was seated under the hollyhock,
which was put on the ceiling. He faced the big hall. The wall is made
by mosaic work, and phoenix is painted on the wainscoting. Eyes of
the phoenix have been made of imported diamond. This room is used
for worshipping by Tokugawa Family today. |
