On the second floor of Shurijo Castle is the king's seat inside the Seiden.
His seat was restored from pictures and references during the King Sho Shin reign (1477 to 1526).
This area was reserved for three reasons.
Ufugui. To be used daily by the queen and high-ranking maids.
Osenmikocha. A small room behind the Usasuka used for praying. Every morning, the king and his attendants would pray for peace and safety of the castle as well as prosperity of the royal descendants.
Usasuka. Many ceremonies and celebrations were held in front of the king's seat. The high ceilings symbolize the king’s status. In front of the seat is a small room facing the garden. The king sat in his seat and watched his officials in the garden during New Year's ceremonies and other events.
Encased in glass is a replica of the king's crown and some other artifacts.
The castle also showcases a model of the Seiden.
And here is the view from the second story window.
