Abstract: When the Daigakuryo, where the Confucian ceremony of Sekiten was held, was destroyed in the Great Fire of Angen, the venue was moved to the Dajokancyo. Naturally, the spatial characteristics and composition differ between the Daigakuryo, a place of learning, and the Dajokancyo, a ceremonial venue for governmental rituals. This study examines the changes in the content of the Sekiten ceremony resulting from this spatial transition and clarifies the architectural space of the Dajokancyo by analyzing the movement patterns of the individuals involved in the Sekiten ritual.
