This paper shows that in the ceremonial section of the Meiji Palace, the grandiose interior was designed in relation to its use. The public part of the Meiji Palace was clearly divided into the ceremonial section and the daily-work section by means of building planning and interior design. In the ceremonial section, the ornaments were designed selecting the motifs and the colours to show the image of each ceremony (the audience and the party). The patterns of ornaments were derived from the ancient tresures in Japan, and the most of the ornaments were manufactured applying modern techniques.
