Temporary palace - Angu

Japanese: 行宮 - あんぐう
Temporary palace - Angu

A temporary palace for the Emperor when he goes on imperial visits. It can also be read as "karimiya." The Engishiki stipulates that for imperial visits lasting more than 10 days, a staff member must be appointed in advance. According to usage in the Ryō no Gige and other documents, while anzaisho refers abstractly to the location of the Emperor, angu refers specifically to the temporary palace itself, but later they came to be used in the same sense. In official documents from the Meiji period onwards, the Emperor was referred to as anzaisho, while the residence of the Empress, Crown Prince, and others during imperial visits was called gohakusho.

Japanese:

天皇の行幸(ぎょうこう)時の仮宮。「かりみや」とも読む。『延喜式(えんぎしき)』には、10日以上の行幸に際しては、あらかじめ造行宮使を任命すると規定している。『令義解(りょうのぎげ)』などの用法によると、行在所(あんざいしょ)が抽象的に天皇の所在をいうのに対し、行宮は具体的に仮宮そのものをさしたらしいが、のちには同じ意味に用いられた。明治以後の公式の文書では、天皇については行在所、皇后、皇太子などの行啓(ぎょうけい)中の在所は御泊所(ごはくしょ)といった。
