Located at the center between the convenience hall and audience hall in the Royal Palace, the Royal Throne called Eojwa was a seat occupied by the king when he accepted an official’s felicitations, held court assembly, and handled state affairs. It was also called Okjwa(a jade seat) or Bojwa(a treasure seat). Behind the throne lays the Folding Screen of the Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks, representing the divinity and dignity of the king.
