I will discuss in this chapter, the arrangement of painted walls in the palace for the abdicated emperor, taking the same method as the preceding chapter. The summary is as follows : During Edo Period, fourteen palaces in all, were built for abdicated emperors. In six of these paraces, they applied painted Kokabe, though only one of them had their Kokabe painted in all edifices which composed the palace. In other palaces, they used either painted Kokabe or white plastered Kokabe, according to the function of the edifice itself. In every palace, they used white plastered Kokabe for the formal edifices and painted Kokabe for the informal edifices. Though, in early times, the painted Kokabe was applied in the palace under the influence of the Shogunate residences, it settled as the interior design of the palace for the abdicated emperor in the middle of Edo Period.
