After the re-establishment, the office was limited to two people with a salary of 2,000 koku, and was appointed as Jugōigeshodaibu (Jugōigeshodaibu) of the Fifth Rank and was under the control of the Wakadoshiyori. Their duties included the construction and repair of Honmaru, Nishimaru, Ooku, Ninomaru, Sanmaru, Hama Goten, Momijiyama Toshogu Shrine, its mausoleum, Kan'ei-ji Temple, Zojoji Temple, Shinagawa Tokai-ji Temple, Ikegami Honmonji Temple, and Denso-yashiki, and they were divided into Motokata, who were responsible for procuring the necessary items, and Haraikata, who were responsible for receiving and distributing the procured items.
