After the transfer of the capital to Tokyo, a part of the stored books in dairi was transferred to new Imperial Palace and furthermore, in the establishment of miyake (families allowed to have the status of Imperial family), some of them were allocated to them (However, all the miyake which received the allocation were discontinued later and the stored books were transferred to Imperial Household Archives or National Museum of Japanese History.)
東京奠都後、内裏の蔵書の一部は新御所の設置された皇居に移され、更に宮家創設時に分与された例もある（ただし、分与を受けた宮家は後に全て断絶してしまうこととなり、蔵書は宮内庁書陵部や国立歴史民俗博物館に移された）。
