Kyoto Imperial Palace (Japan)
Shishinden hall from Syomei-mon gate view
To the sides lies a fence separating the inner areas from the general Palace Grounds, and just past this main gate is a second gate, painted in vermilion and roofed in tile, which leads to the Shishin-den, the Hall for State Ceremonies. The Shishin-den was used for such important ceremonies as the coronation of an Emperor and installation of a Crown Prince. It is 33 by 23 metres in size, and features a traditional architectural style, with a gabled and hipped roof.
