Before the Meiji era, until the end of the Edo period, specific businesses authorized to receive orders directly from the imperial palace (called “goyo”) and supply goods were called “kinri goyo.” For merchants and artisans, serving the palace's orders was a great honor. From the Meiji era, the designation changed from kinri goyo to “Imperial Household Ministry purveyor.” #word
