onari goten　御成御殿

KEY WORD :　architecture / aristocratic dwellings

A generic term used from the Muromachi through the Edo periods to indicate facilities provided for the visit of a shogun 将軍 to a retainer's residence. The arrangement of facilities varied from period to period. For example, the Hosokawa 細川 mansion (1524) in Kyoto had a relatively simple unroofed double-door gate (*heijuumon 塀重門) and a *shinden 寝殿 style residence. The residence (1698) of the daimyou 大名 of Owari 尾張 (Aichi prefecture) had an official building (omotegoten 表御殿) that included provision for the shogun, women's quarters (okugoten 奥御殿), a stage for Noh drama (*noubutai 能舞台), and a regents' gate (onarimon 御成門).
