Imperial Bedroom
Overview
His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince (later Emperor Taisho) stayed here in August 1911, followed by the Imperial Regent (later Emperor Showa) in July 1922. In October 1989, the Emperor and Empress rested here while traveling around Hokkaido.
Floor
The floor is carpeted, and there is rectangular parquetry beside the walls.
Walls
The walls and ceiling of the Imperial rooms are adorned with wallpaper. Art nouveau plant patterns are printed on four types of imported wallpaper. Three types out of the four wallpaper are used in the Imperial Bedroom and the Imperial Chamber.
Bed
This American semi-double bed features brass piping, a luxury at that time. It was completed with Japanese bedding for the Crown Prince’s visit in 1911.
Makeup chest
The chest is equipped with a drawer at the bottom part and a mirror on top.
Fireplace and mantelpiece
Just like the Imperial Chamber, the fireplace has green and brown tiles on its floor, but the engravings and the flowers on the hearth tiles are different. The mirror and mantelpiece also have a different design from those in the Imperial Chamber.
