Sakura-no-ma
At the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, dignitaries are shown to one of three special waiting rooms called Shodaibu-no-ma. This one is called the Sakura-no-ma or Cherry Waiting Room for the beautiful cherry tree branches on the screens. The current Imperial Palace was reconstructed in 1855 after it had burnt down and been moved around Kyoto many times over the centuries. It was the residence of the Imperial Family until 1868 when the capitol was moved from Kyoto to Tokyo.
