【Omote Goten】

In contrast to the popular image of the medieval castles of Europe, which were residences as well as strongholds, the daimyo of Japanese castles typically lived in luxurious quarters that were separate from the main keep. These buildings are referred to as goten. Beginning in the mid-sixteenth century, a castle’s goten served dual purposes as both the residence of the local lord and the public office for administrative and bureaucratic matters. These two purposes were clearly delineated into two areas: “back” (oku) residential area, and the “front” (omote) administrative area. The goten at Hikone Castle comprises some 30 buildings from between 1615 and 1622. During this time the lord of the castle, Ii Naotaka (1590–1659), lived in separate quarters in the main bailey.

Hikone Castle’s goten was demolished in the late nineteenth century, but in the 1980s the grounds were excavated, and the building was rebuilt as the site of the Hikone Castle Museum. The building’s exhibit space and archives were reconstructed using reinforced concrete, but the residential areas and exterior were restored using traditional wood-joining techniques and period-accurate materials.

Omote Goten Noh Stage

When a daimyo met with visiting officials or other samurai, he did so in the omote goten, which commonly had a number of tearooms for conducting these meetings. Some omote goten, including the one at Hikone, contained a Noh stage that could be used when hosting eminent guests or for the entertainment of the daimyo. The stage in the center of the museum was built in 1800 by Ii Naonaka (1766–1831), who purportedly loved Noh theater and had several private Noh performers hired on his behalf. This is the only surviving Noh stage to have been built inside a daimyo’s residence. It was relocated repeatedly after the goten’s destruction in the late nineteenth century, and in 1987 it was finally returned to its original location in the restored building. The stage is still used regularly.

彥根城表御殿與能樂舞台

表御殿

與歐洲中世紀既是堡壘又是住宅的城堡不同，日本的大名通常不住在「本丸」（主城）內，而是居住在名為「御殿」的豪華宮殿內。16世紀中葉以來，御殿既是藩主的住所，也是處理政務的辦公場所。這兩大功能有明確的區域劃分，「表御殿」（前殿）是辦公區、「裡御殿」（後殿）是居住區。彥根城的御殿大約由30棟建築組成，建於1615年至1622年之間。御殿修建期間，藩主井伊直孝（1590-1659）居住在本丸內的另一區域。

彥根城御殿雖然在19世紀後半葉被拆毀，但在1980年代透過遺跡挖掘得以重建，現為彥根城博物館。博物館的展廳和收藏館雖然採用鋼筋混凝土建造，但居住區和外飾均為傳統的榫卯結構，用當時的材料成功重現了彥根城御殿昔日的風采。

表御殿的能樂舞台

表御殿是藩主接見訪客或其他武士的場所。表御殿內有多處用於會談的茶室。包括彥根城的表御殿在內，很多御殿內設有能樂舞台，用於接待重要客人或其他大名。美術館中央的能樂舞台，是由井伊直中（1766-1831）於1800年所修建，他熱愛能樂，並為此聘雇專屬能樂師為其表演。該舞台是現存唯一設在大名住所內的能樂舞台。19世紀後半葉，御殿被拆後，舞台曾多次遷移，直到1987年才最終回到表御殿內原先的位置。至今，這個能樂舞台仍然定期舉辦演出。

表御殿

欧洲中世纪的城堡一般既是防御堡垒又是城主住所，但日本有所不同。日本的大名通常不住在“本丸”（主城）内，而是居住在名为“御殿”的豪华宫殿中。自16世纪中叶起，御殿具备了居住及持政的两大功能，分为用以行政办公的“表御殿”（前殿）和藩主私人居所“里御殿”（后殿）。彦根城的御殿大约由30栋建筑组成，建于1615年至1622年之间。御殿修建期间，藩主井伊直孝（1590-1659）居住在本丸内的另一区域。

彦根城御殿虽然在19世纪后半叶被拆毁，但在1980年代通过遗迹发掘得以重建，现为彦根城博物馆。博物馆的展厅和收藏馆虽然采用钢筋混凝土建造，但居住区和外饰均为传统的榫卯结构，用当时的材料成功再现了彦根城御殿昔日的风采。
