Disturbed by this, the Emperor Gosai and the Emperor Reigen asked court nobles or temples and shrines in Kyoto to accurately copy waka (a traditional Japanese poem of thirty-one syllables), stories, diaries, records, Yusoku kojitsu (court and samurai rules of ceremony and etiquette), documents on kuji (public duties) and shrines and temples and so on, and furthermore, made the precious books and documents copied to be the duplicates and stored them in the other places in order to prevent the loss.
これを憂慮した後西天皇・霊元天皇は、京都の公家や寺社に要請して和歌・物語・日記・記録・有職故実・公事関連書・社寺文書類などの精度の高い写本を作成し、更に貴重な典籍を謄写して副本を作成を作成して別の場所に置くことによって亡失を防ごうとした。
