Kuroki Palace

Japanese: 黒木御所 - くろきごしょ

A shabby residence for the emperor made from timber that had not been peeled. When Emperor Go-Daigo was exiled to Oki during the Genkō Rebellion, a story appears in the Taiheiki that he built a Kuroki palace there and used it as the imperial palace. It is also called "Kuroki no Yako", and the Jikkunsho contains a story about Emperor Tenchi building a Kuroki palace out of logs in Asakura, Kamiza County, Chikuzen Province. Kuroki no Yako was sometimes used to refer to the palace of a nun (Goyudono Jounal). White wood/black wood [Iikura Harutake]

皮を削らないままの材木でつくられた粗末な天皇の住居。後醍醐天皇が元弘の乱で隠岐に流されたとき，そこに黒木の御所をつくって皇居としたという話が《太平記》にみえる。〈黒木の屋〉ということもあり，《十訓抄》に天智天皇が筑前国上座郡朝倉に丸木で黒木の屋をつくった話が載っている。黒木御所は尼御所のことをいう場合もあった(《御湯殿上日記》)。白木･黒木【飯倉晴武】
