*Idiotiuc robotic voice got you thumbs down* So how many Jap mansions ..have paintings going back 600 years like Buckingham Palace size is not the issue it is the way the place is furnished
Exquisite and beautiful architecture. Japanese culture has always attracted me, so many commonsense designs and reasons for everything. I just love seeing the ancient with the new. The single-story residences would be very comfortable for the elderly or ill, probably no lifts in those days.
i imagine royalty as not being "rich" in the usual way i imagine just having a huge bank account...isn'tit more like they live within an ongoing budget managed by others to fllfil a lot of functions and appearances. i'm sure they have input to make slight changes to suit their prefernces but nothing like going nuts with a hobby or throwing money around like a drunken sailor, or buying elections for social media 🙂 though royalty are probably accutely aware revoltution...
The Akasaka Palace looks grand from the outside, but none of the rooms match the elegance and richness of Buckingham Palace. Japan was never able to amass the amount of wealth of the British Empire. The central staircase and banquet room are impressive, but that's about it. Notice that there's no furniture in it. It's not set up for anything. The halls are all very plain. A comparison of the enthronement of the emperor in its stark venue and that of Charles III illustrates this point even further. It's true, however, that the gardens are magnificent. If anything, it's a case of apples and oranges, or quinces and persimmons if you prefer... In October I went to Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. Now THAT's money and power! The library alone took my breath away. Unlike these Imperial properties, you are not allowed to visit or roam. Getting into the Imperial Villa in Kyoto for autumn leaves is literally a lottery, though foreigners have a slight edge over Japanese nationals. I suspect the entry postcards are sorted by Japanese character names and Romanized alphabet. The villa up in Nikko is easy to visit, but of course, you have to travel up to Nikko to do so.
Japanese palace life tragically destroyed the mental health of two very intelligent and independently spirited women Empress Michiko and Empress Masako (the current empress and her mother-in-law). We've also seen quite a few princesses in the past two generations (especially now) say "no thank you" and renounce all royal titles and money, to leave the system and marry commoners. I love traditional Japanese art, architecture - so many things about Japanese culture. I hope to move to Japan some day. However, there is clearly something really wrong with court life for all of these women. Money and tradition aren't always a good thing.
Everything is strictly and minutely controlled by the Imperial Household Agency. Japan is a land of rules, seen and unseen. Be careful what you wish for trying to come here to live, which is nearly impossible. There are illegal "aliens" here, and they literally "jumped ship" and overstayed their visas. BTW the same fate fell upon Diana, Wallis Simpson, Fergie, Meghan, etc.
COMMENT: Which of our these “royal residences” is your favorite?

Unlike the Brits and other Europeans, the Japanese appreciate their royal family and support them without reservation.

The last one was my favorite.
The difference between Japanese imperial homes and Shoguns, is that they do not fill the home with furniture like those in Europe.

It’s not a “competition for wealth”…..
