This paper aims at explicating the shape and style of the sculptures of Seiden, the State chamber of Shuri Castle, from a design point of view.Basic shapes as well as details of Seiden's design are in Chinese and Zen Buddhist styles, but certain parts of Seiden are arranged in a unique way.The construction of the platform and the fence of the stairs as well as the design of the dragon and lion sculptures are basically in Chinese Style, Whereas Zen Buddhist influence can be seen in the accessory stones of the fence.But the fan-shaped stairway and the dragon pillars of the fence are in a style unique to Seiden. This arrangement occupies a very important position as a manifestation of the aesthetic consciousness of the Ryukyu Dynasty.For the roof of the building the Japanese archtectural styles Irimoyazukuri and Karahahu have been used, where as the design is in Zen Buddhist style. The design of the dragons on the roof is in a style often seen in China, but here their form is integrated with the whole building, thus creating an original effect.So far Shuri Castle Seiden has been considered largely as Chinese architecture. This study however seeks to show that although Seiden has Chinese style as its base, this style was fused with Japanese elements and in important ways transformed into a unique Ryukyuan design. I presume that this unique style and form, Which with time got lost, were expressions of an aesthetic consciousness peculiar to the Ryukyu Dynasty.This paper explicates and compares the design and arrangements of sculptures at Seiden with the styles of other historical buildings in Japan. It is however not a study of the lion statues in and around Shuri Castle ; a subject that in the light of its fascination for the people of Okinawa calls for further investigation.

本文旨在从设计的角度来阐述首里城国宫塞登的雕塑造型和风格。Seiden的基本形状和细节设计都是中国和禅宗风格，但Seiden的某些部分以独特的方式排列。楼梯的平台和栅栏的构造以及龙狮雕塑的设计基本上都是中国风格的，而栅栏的附属石头则可以看出禅宗的影响。但扇形的楼梯和栅栏的龙柱是塞登独有的风格。这种布局作为琉球王朝审美意识的体现，占有十分重要的地位。建筑的屋顶采用了日本建筑风格的Irimoyazukuri和Karahahu，其中设计是禅宗佛教风格。屋顶上龙的设计风格在中国很常见，但在这里，它们的形式与整个建筑融为一体，从而创造了一种原创的效果。到目前为止，斋登守里城堡主要被认为是中国建筑。然而，本研究试图表明，虽然赛登以中国风格为基础，但这种风格融合了日本元素，并在重要方面转化为独特的琉球设计。我认为这种独特的风格和形式，随着时间的流逝而消失，是琉球王朝特有的审美意识的表达。本文阐述并比较了斋登雕塑的设计和布置与日本其他历史建筑的风格。然而，这并不是对首里城堡及其周围的狮子雕像的研究；鉴于它对冲绳人民的吸引力，这个问题需要进一步调查。
