The Tenrinkaku (天臨閣) was a shoin structure at Osaka Castle. It was initially known as the Kishū Palace (紀州御殿 Kishū Goten).[1][2][3][4]

History[edit]

The Ninomaru Palace of Wakayama Castle was constructed in Genwa 7 (1621) shortly after the Momoyama period.[1]

The Honmaru Palace of Osaka Castle was destroyed by fire during the Boshin War in Keio 4 (1868).[2]

Various structures from the Wakayama Castle Ninomaru Palace such as the Hakushoin, Kuroshoin, and Tozamurai were transferred to Osaka Castle Honmaru in Meiji 18 (1885).[5] Named the Kishū Palace due to its origin, it served as the administrative centre for the army's 4th Division's administrative centre beginning in Meiji 21 (1888).[1][6]

It served as the Osaka City State Guest House. A Japanese garden was also created at that time that included the tsuru no ike (Crane Pond). Emperor Meiji stayed here.[2] Emperor Hirohito stayed there in Shōwa 7 (1932). The Kishū Palace was renamed Tenrinkaku in Shōwa 8 (1933).[1][2]

It was destroyed on September 22, Shōwa 9 (1947) in a fire.[1][2]
