Ref.#13 2950~ Tokyo Imperial Palace
The Palace is built on the site of the old Edo Castle. This building sits near the East Garden. The total area including the gardens is 1.3 square miles including the extensive gardens. In the Meiji era, most structures from the Edo Castle disappeared. Some were cleared to make way for other buildings while others were destroyed by earthquakes and fire. On the night of 25 May 1945, most structures of the Imperial Palace were destroyed in the Allied firebombing raid on Tokyo.
The current designs employ traditional Japanese architecture in their exterior appearance while the interiors are an eclectic mixture of then-fashionable Japanese and European elements. The ceilings of the grand chambers were coffered with Japanese elements; however, Western chairs, tables and heavy curtains furnished the spaces. The floors of the public rooms had parquets or carpets while the residential spaces used traditional tatami mats
