Imperial Dining Room 御食堂

This was a spare room when the Old Public Hall was first built. It served as a dining room when the Crown Prince’s visit in 1911. During Renovations in the Showa era (1980-1982), researchers confirmed the wallpaper was extremely expensive.

Wallpaper

This room originally had the same floral wallpaper as the Imperial changing room, but it was lost. At present, a similar wall paper is chosen to approximate the original.

Curtains (restoration)

These curtains were restored during Renovations in the Showa era (1980-1982). The curtain boxes here are unadorned, unlike those in the VIP Room and Large Dining Room on the first floor. Each room has curtain holdbacks with different decorations.

Lighting (original)

These old lighting apparatuses were left unused until research conducted during Renovations in the Showa era (1980-1982) revealed they were the original fixtures at the time of the Old Public Hall’s construction.
