Bishop's seat - cathedra

Japanese: 司教座 - しきょうざ(英語表記)cathedra
Bishop's seat - cathedra
The chair of the bishop in a cathedral. In early Christian times, it was placed at the head of the apse behind the altar, but from the Carolingian period onwards it came to be placed in front of the altar on the Gospel side of the altar (to the left of the entrance). In the Early Middle Ages, it was often richly decorated with carvings, such as the ivory work known as the Chair of Maximian (mid-6th century, Ravenna Archbishop's Museum).
