| Abstract | In the ancient history of Japan, it is the notable fact that the imperial palace was removed at each enthronement. Beginning with the first emperor, Jimmu (神武), to the fortieth emperor, Temmu (天武), ea...ch emperor or empress removed mainly within the Yamato (大和) region, building his or her own humble palace at various places. The ancient imperial palaces were called miya (宮) or the shrines, because there were enshrined the holy treasures which were the symbol of the imperial throne. Thus the residence of emperors there was even au appenpant factor. At his or her enthronement, the new emperor or empress removed to the newly-built palace taking the holy treasures with him or her, for the ex-emperor's death was considered to bring pollution to his old palace. The ancient parades for the palace removals found their reflection in the image of the so-called Tenson-Korin (天孫降臨) or the "descent to earth of the descendant of the Sun-Goddess." The clans of Nakatomi (中臣) and Immbe (忌部), the groups to which were assigned the religious services by the imperial family, marched immediately following Ninigino-mikoto, the grandson of the Sun Goddess, and the clan of Otomo (大伴) commanding their own men, took the duty of guarding the descendant. The imperial family, which made the removal its custom, had not its own peculiar stronghold. Possessing the ho! y treasures couuected with the religious authority of the Sun-Goddess, it could reign over the clans which held their own sphere of influence around their domicile places. This custom of the palace-removal came to an end at the close of the seventh century, when the Fujiwara-kyo (藤原京) was built imitating the city of Chang-an (長安), the capital of the Tang dynasty. Thus the imperial authority was established u po11 the basis of the Hitsuryo (律令) system, 11ot resting on the religious and magical holy treasures. The miya, in which the holy· treasures were enshrined, receded to the back and became the private Dairi (内裏). And the mag11ificent Daigokuden (大極殿) was built, symbolizing the absolute position and authority of the emperors, at the facade of the huge imperial palace.show more |
