In last year I guessed that the plans of the Imperial Audience Hall of State Compound were made by the bureau of astrology, calendar and divination ONMYOU-RYOU. On this paper I guessed the design concept and the thought with three enigmatic findings in the Imperial Audience Hall of State Compound. In the Fujiwara Palace, lotus pattern on the round eaves tiles compare the cosmos, and intertwining floral pattern on the flat eaves tiles express divinations outlook on the world. In Nara Palace, the ornament tile of the earthen wall with brick tiles on the former imperial Audience Hall of state compound express the brilliant sunshine, which is an auspicious sign .In Naniwa Palace, the concentric circle design on the round eaves tiles compare the cosmos just like the astronomical chat of mural of Kitora Tomb, and its reverse figure right express the secure of peace on the world. The other flat eaves tiles compare the cosmos, its figure + express the center of the eccentric circle (ecliptic).
I think that the meanings of these findings are related to ONMYOU-RYOU and the ideology of the Rituryo state that conjecture was justified by this study on the findings in the Imperial Audience Hall of State Compound.
