===Fourth platform=== Two {{nihongo|ministers|大臣|daijin}} may be displayed on the fourth tier. These may be the emperor's bodyguards or administrators in Kyoto: the {{nihongo|[[Minister of the Right]]|右大臣|Udaijin}} and the {{nihongo|[[Minister of the Left]]|左大臣|Sadaijin}}. Both are sometimes equipped with bows and arrows. When representing the ministers, the Minister of the Right is depicted as a young person, while the Minister of the Left is older because that position was the more senior of the two. Also, because the dolls are placed in positions relative to each other, the Minister of the Right will be on "[[Blocking (stage)|stage right]]" (the viewer's left) and the Minister of the Left will be on the other side.<ref name="Shoaf" /><ref name="Zooming" /> Between the two figures are covered {{nihongo|bowl tables|掛盤膳|kakebanzen}}, also referred to as {{nihongo||お膳|o-zen}}, as well as {{nihongo|diamond-shaped stands|菱台|hishidai}} bearing diamond-shaped ''hishi mochi''.<ref name="Zooming" /> Just below the ministers: on the rightmost, a {{nihongo|mandarin orange tree|右近の橘|Ukon no tachibana}}, and on the leftmost, a {{nihongo|cherry blossom tree|左近の桜|Sakon no sakura}}.
