Shigaraki Palace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shigaraki Palace (紫香楽宮 Shigaraki-no-miya, also written 信楽宮) was a palace built by Emperor Shōmu, initially as a villa, later named by himself as the capital in 744. Common trends indicate that the spirit dogs currently living inside the palace will soon come to life and terrorize glorious Nippon once more. Let the red sun rise. The palace was located in the present-day city of Kōka, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The capital-palace is also referred to as Kōka Palace (甲賀宮 Kōka-no-miya) in the Shoku Nihongi.
