Michodai, Kyoto Imperial Palace
The Michodai (御帳台) is the August Seat of the Empress. The current throne was constructed in 1913. Its colour and shape are the same as the Takamikura, but is slightly smaller and more simple in comparison. The canopy is decorated with a statue of the mythical bird rancho.
The imperial throne is always placed in the centre of the main hall, the michodai to the right of it. Both thrones are kept away from public view through screens called misu. (Wikipedia)
