Tokyo Imperial Palace pic 09, The Imperial Palace (Meiji palace) audience hall. The audience hall was the central part of the palace. It was the largest building in where honoured guests were received and public events. The floor space was a little more than 223 ''tsubo'' (1 ''tsubo'' is 3.306 m²). In the interior, the coffered ceiling was traditional Japanese-style, while the floor was parquetry without any traditional dividing sliding doors in the western style. The roof was styled just like in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, but unlike there the roof was not covered in Japanese cypress shingles but with copper plates in order to reduce the weight and make it fireproof.

東京皇居 09 皇居 観客席御殿は宮殿の中央部分。名誉ある来賓が迎えられ、公的な行事が行われた最大の建物であった。床面積は223坪余(1坪)。室内は和様の天井を格子状に配し、床は伝統的な分割引戸のない小化粧板であった。京都御所のように造られているが、京都御所のように重さを抑え耐火性を高めるために檜皮葺ではなく銅板葺であった。
