Arakinomiya - Funeral Palace

Japanese: 殯宮 - あらきのみや
Arakinomiya - Funeral Palace
In ancient times, it was a place where the body of a nobleman was laid to rest for a while before being buried. It was also called "Mogari no Miya". Until the funeral, breakfast and dinner were offered to the deceased, just as they had done when they were alive, and magical singing and dancing were performed to calm the soul. It declined due to the 646 edict on simple funerals and the influence of Buddhist funeral rites and cremation, and was not built after Emperor Genmei.

Japanese:
古代,貴人の遺体を葬る前にしばらくの間安置しておく場所
「もがりのみや」ともいう。葬祭までは生前と同じく朝夕の食膳を供え,呪術的歌舞を行って霊魂をしずめた。646年の薄葬令や仏教の葬送儀礼・火葬の影響で衰え,元明天皇以後造られなくなった。
