The transition of the regulation at the beginning (From October, 1867 to May, 1876) of the Meiji era can be divided into following three stages: 1. In the first stage (From October, 1867 to July, 1870), in Tokyo, the regulation of the official residence was groped relating to the process of arranging the land and building of an old shogunate era. The regulation was gradually formed through this stage. 2. In the second stage (From August, 1870 to May, 1872), the regulation of the official residence was groped for to become 'General regulation' relating to the process that the rule of government extends to all over the country. As a result, two famous regulation was enacted at May 24, 1872. 3. In the third stage (From June, 1872 to May,1876), the former regulation was groped again against the background of an unstable state of each ministry and prefecture. After some gropes, at last,'Kansya Taito Kisoku' was enacted at May 15, 1876. And for about 70 years after that, this regulation had controlled the way of supplying and management of the official residence.
