Sono stata a Tokyo un paio di volte e uno dei miei posti preferiti in tutta la città sono i giardini imperiali nell’area di Chiyoda. Ogni volta che sono in città, trovo sempre un momento (a volte anche più di uno) per visitare questo incredibile posto, un cuore verde a Tokyo, pieno di storia e tradizione ma circondato dalla modernità di questa frenetica città.

Il Palazzo Imperiale di Tokyo (皇居 Kōkyo, letteralmente “Residenza Imperiale”) è la residenza principale dell’Imperatore del Giappone. Con i suoi grandi parchi si trova nel cuore del quartiere di Chiyoda e contiene edifici tra cui il palazzo principale (宮殿 Kyūden), le residenze private della famiglia imperiale, un archivio, musei e uffici amministrativi.
L’attuale palazzo è costruito sul sito del vecchio castello Edo costruito dallo shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu e l’area totale, compresi i giardini, è di 1,15 chilometri quadrati.

La storia

Castello di Edo

Costruito da Tokugawa Ieyasu e assegnato come residenza della famiglia Tokugawa, dopo la fine dello shogunato e la restaurazione Meiji, l’imperatore lasciò il palazzo imperiale di Kyoto e si trasferì nel castello di Edo. Questa divenne la sua nuova residenza e fu ribattezzata con il nome di Castello di Tōkei (東京城 Tōkei-jō), nello stesso periodo, anche Tōkyō era stata chiamata Tōkei.

Il 5 maggio 1873, il palazzo Nishinomaru (precedentemente residenza dello shogun) fu distrutto da un incendio e nel 1888 fu costruito il nuovo Palazzo Imperiale (宮城 Kyūjō).
L’organizzazione no-profit “Rebuilding Edo-jo Association” (NPO 法人 江戸城再建) fondata nel 2004 ha l’obiettivo di una ricostruzione storicamente corretta almeno del principale mastio. Questo gruppo progetta di raccogliere donazioni e firme su una petizione a sostegno della ricostruzione della torre del vecchio castello in modo che la capitale possa avere un edificio simbolico.

Il vecchio palazzo

Nell’era Meiji, la maggior parte delle strutture del castello di Edo scomparve. Alcuni sono stati rimossi per far posto ad altri edifici mentre altri sono stati distrutti da terremoti e incendi.
In questo caso, i ponti doppi di legno (二重橋 Nijūbashi) sopra il fossato furono sostituiti con ponti di pietra e ferro mentre gli edifici del Palazzo Imperiale costruiti nell’era Meiji erano fatti di legno.
Quando ti trovi per la prima volta il Palazzo Imperiale, vieni improvvisamente trasportato nell’architettura giapponese classica e tradizionale, ma se avete la possibilità di camminare in quelle sale coprirete che all’interno, il palazzo è un misto della moda giapponese di allora ed elementi europei. Sedie occidentali, tavoli e tende pesanti arredano gli spazi, i pavimenti delle sale comuni hanno parquets o tappeti mentre gli spazi residenziali usavano tatami tradizionali.

Gli ospiti erano ricevuti nella sala delle udienze principale, che era la parte centrale del palazzo. Il suo spazio era più di 223 tsubo (circa 737,25 m2) e il soffitto era in tradizionale stile giapponese, mentre il pavimento era fatto di parquet. Per il tetto, è stato mantenuto uno stile simile al Palazzo Imperiale di Kyoto, tuttavia fu coperto con lastre di rame ignifugato piuttosto che le tradizionali lastre di cipresso giapponesi.
Altri edifici in cemento furono aggiunti nel tardo periodo Taishō e all’inizio del periodo Shōwa, come il quartier generale del Ministero della casa imperiale e il Consiglio privato.

Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, la notte del 25 maggio 1945, la maggior parte delle strutture del palazzo imperiale furono distrutte durante il bombardamento incendiario di Tokyo da parte delle forze alleate. A causa di ciò, una nuova sala principale del palazzo (宮殿 Kyūden) e le residenze furono costruite nella parte occidentale del sito negli anni ’60 e questa zona fu ribattezzata Residenza Imperiale (皇居 Kōkyo) mentre la parte orientale fu ribattezzata East Garden (東 御苑 Higashi -Gyoen) e divenne un parco pubblico nel 1968.

Il palazzo imperiale oggi

Dopo essere sopravvissuto alla definizione del momento storico, il moderno palazzo Kyūden (宮殿) fu progettato per varie funzioni giudiziarie imperiali e la reception si trova nella vecchia sezione Nishinomaru del palazzo.
Ad oggi, la residenza dell’attuale imperatore e imperatrice si trova nei giardini Fukiage ed è ora su una scala molto più modesta, rispetto a quella che era originariamente.

Ad eccezione dell’Imperial Household Agency e dei Giardini Imperiali, il palazzo è generalmente chiuso al pubblico, ad eccezione di visite guidate riservate da martedì a sabato. Ogni anno nuovo (2 gennaio) e al compleanno dell’imperatore, al pubblico è permesso di entrare attraverso il Nakamon (porta interna) dove si riuniscono nella Piazza Kyote Totei davanti alla Sala Chowaden. In questa occasione, la Famiglia Imperiale appare sul balcone davanti alla folla e l’Imperatore di solito fa un breve discorso di saluto, ringrazia gli ospiti e augura loro buona salute e benedizioni.

I giardini

 

Fukiage Garden

Questo è probabilmente il giardino più antico del complesso. Il giardino Fukiage ha portato questo nome sin dal periodo Edo ed è qui che vive la famiglia imperiale.
Il Fukiage Ōmiya Palace (吹 上 大 宮 御所 Fukiage Ōmiya-gosho) nella parte settentrionale era originariamente la residenza dell’imperatore Showa e dell’imperatrice Kōjun e si chiamava Fukiage Palace. Dopo la morte dell’imperatore nel 1989, il palazzo fu ribattezzato Palazzo Fukiage Ōmiya e fu la residenza dell’Imperatrice Dowager fino alla sua morte nel 2000.
Qui potete anche trovare i Tre Santuari del Palazzo (宮中三殿 Kyūchū-sanden), parti delle Regalie Imperiali del Giappone e il santuario svolge un ruolo religioso nelle incoronazioni e matrimoni imperiali.

Tōkagakudō (Music Hall)

Il Tōkagakudō (桃華楽堂, Peach Blossom Music Hall) si trova ad est dell’ex mastio principale del castello di Edo nella zona Honmaru ed è stato costruito per commemorare il sessantesimo compleanno dell’imperatrice Kōjun il 6 marzo 1963. L’edificio di in ferro e cemento copre un’area totale di 1.254 m2 e ognuna delle sue otto pareti esterne è decorata con tessere di mosaico diversamente progettate.

Giardino Ninomaru

Se volete dare una rapida occhiata all’intera vegetazione giapponese, è qui che dovreste andare, dato che gli alberi simbolici che rappresentano ogni prefettura sono piantati nell’angolo nord-occidentale della cinta di Ninomaru. Tali alberi sono stati donati da ogni prefettura e ci sono in totale 260 alberi, coprendo 30 varietà.

 

Kitanomaru

Situato nella parte settentrionale del castello di Edo, questo parco pubblico è famoso per essere la casa del Nippon Budokan Hall, uno dei più grandi siti per concerti, eventi sportivi e altro ancora.
Qui potete anche trovare un monumento in bronzo dedicato al principe Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa (親王白川宮能久親王 Kitashirakawa-no-miya Yoshihisa-shinnō)

East Garden

Ultimo ma non meno importante, gli East Gardens, i più famosi di questo complesso. Qui si trova la maggior parte degli edifici amministrativi del palazzo e comprende le ex zone di Honaro e Ninomaru del castello di Edo, per un totale di 210.000 m2. Situato sul terreno dell’East Garden troviamo l’Imperial Tokagakudo Music Hall, il Music Department of the Board of Ceremonies of the Imperial Household, Archives and Mausolea Department Imperial Household Agency, strutture per le guardie come il dojo Saineikan e il Museo delle collezioni imperiali.

I lavori di costruzione iniziarono nel 1961 con un nuovo laghetto nel Ninomaru, così come la riparazione e il restauro di vari edifici e strutture del periodo Edo. Il 30 maggio 1963, l’area fu dichiarata dal governo giapponese una “reliquia storica speciale” ai sensi della legge sulla protezione delle proprietà culturali.

 

Questo è in realtà il mio preferito e ogni volta che vengo a Tokyo, cerco sempre di passare un pomeriggio qui. È uno dei posti più visitati della città, è vero, ma nonostante tutti i turisti che passeggiano, c’è questa magica atmosfera di tranquillità nell’aria ed è il posto perfetto per sedersi, leggere un libro, scrivere sul vostro quaderno tutte le avventure che avete avuto in questa incredibile città e assaporare tutta la storia che questo luogo ha vissuto.

Accesso

I’ve been to Tokyo a few times now and one of my favourite spot in the whole city are the Imperial East Gardens in the Chiyoda area. Whenever I’m in the city, I always find a moment (sometimes even more than one) to visit this amazing place, a green heart in Tokyo, full of history and tradition but surrounded by the modernity of this frantic city.

The Tokyo Imperial Palace (皇居 Kōkyo, literally “Imperial Residence”) is the primary residence of the Emperor of Japan. With its large parks it is located in the heart of the Chiyoda ward and contains buildings including the main palace (宮殿 Kyūden), the private residences of the Imperial Family, an archive, museums and administrative offices.
The current palace is built on the site of the old Edo Castle built by the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and the total area including the gardens is 1.15 square kilometres.

The history

Edo castle

Built by Tokugawa Ieyasu and assigned it to be the residence of the Tokugawa family, after the end of the shogunate and the Meiji Restoration, the Emperor left the Kyoto Imperial palace and moved to Edo Castle. This became his new residence and it was renamed to Tōkei Castle (東京城 Tōkei-jō), at this time, Tōkyō had also been called Tōkei.

On 5th May 1873, the Nishinomaru Palace (formerly the shōgun’s residence) was destroyed by a fire, and the new imperial Palace Castle (宮城 Kyūjō) was constructed on the site in 1888.
The non-profit organisation “Rebuilding Edo-jo Association” (NPO法人 江戸城再建) founded in 2004 has the aim of a historically correct reconstruction of at least the main donjon. This group plans to collect donations and signatures on a petition in support of rebuilding the tower of the old castle so that the capital city can have a symbolic building.

The Old palace

In the Meiji era, most structures from the Edo Castle disappeared. Some were cleared to make way for other buildings while others were destroyed by earthquakes and fire.
In this case, the wooden double bridges (二重橋 Nijūbashi) over the moat were replaced with stone and iron bridges while the buildings of the Imperial Palace constructed in the Meiji era were made of wood.
When you first face the Imperial Palace you are suddenly transported into the classical and traditional Japanese architecture, but if you have the chance to walk those halls you’ll discover that on the inside, the palace is a mixture of then-fashionable Japanese and European elements. Western chairs, tables and heavy curtains furnish the spaces, the floors of the public rooms have parquets or carpets while the residential spaces us traditional tatami mats.

Guests were received in the main audience hall, which was the central part of the palace. Its floor space was more than 223 tsubo (approximately 737.25 m2 – 7,935.7 sq ft) and the interior the ceiling was in traditional Japanese-Style, while the floor was made out of parquet. For the roof, a style similar to the Kyoto Imperial Palace was maintained, however it was covered with fireproof coppered plates rather than the traditional Japanese cypress shingles.
More concrete buildings were added in the late Taishō and early Shōwa period, such as the headquarters of the Imperial Household Ministry and the Privy Council.

During the Second World War, on the night of 25th May 1945, most structures of the Imperial Palace were destroyed in the Allied firebombing raid on Tokyo. Due to this, a new main palace hall (宮殿 Kyūden) and residences were constructed on the western portion of the site in the 1960s and this area was renamed Imperial Residence (皇居 Kōkyo) while the eastern part was renamed East Garden (東御苑 Higashi-Gyoen) and became a public park in 1968.
