The Shunkoden building was constructed in 1915 for the Enthronement Ceremony of Emperor Taisho to house the Divine Mirror, one of the Three Imperial Regalia. The mirror had been brought from the Kashikodokoro Sanctuary at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Imperial succession ceremonies, such as the Kashikodokoro-oomae-no-gi, the ceremony to announce the accession to the throne to the Imperial ancestors, were held here.
