Significance
The Charter Oath, released the day before the Five Public Notices, is only shown to kugy? and daimy? and set in the public journal of daij? -kan sold in the cities. In contrast, Five Public Notices are published for almost all countries. The content of the notification continued the Tokugawa shogunate system, including such policies as observing loyalty to monarchs and one's family head, and the prohibition of forming factions and on the "evil religion of Christianity". On the other hand, since the Meiji government is already in the process of ordering the removal of the feudal notice board system, the Five Public Notices symbolize the reach of new government authorities. For example, since the Notice was not prepared in provinces allied to "uetsu Reppan D? Mei", they were void at the same time as the war broke out. In addition, the Notice is also not posted in other daimyo regions and their followers are allies of the shogun.
On February 24, 1873, the feudal system for posting the announcement on the bulletin board was abolished by Proclamation No. 68 the 6th year of Meiji and with that, the Five Public Notices are effectively revoked.
