Abstract
After the Taisho enthronement, the buildings used for the ceremony were granted to various places in Kyoto.
Upon research of receivers, it is found the buildings which still exist are in shrines and temples.
This paper shows the analysis of how these buildings in shrines and temples were converted.
By seeing the conversions in shrines and temples, we can see the surroundings of social situations of shrines and temples at the beginnings of Taisho period.
Then economic situation of citizen was very bad and ideology for respecting the emperor's throne was not stabilized yet.
Therefore, in shrines and temples asked for granted buildings used at the enthronement ceremony because of economical reasons rather than memorying the solemn ceremony.
