Shin-Nishizakai-cho Stone (Koki 2601)

新西境町石碑(皇紀二千六百一年)

Central (Rakuchū)|京都駅

A small stone incised with "Koki 2601" — the imperial year 1941. It is whispered to be a remnant of the wartime celebrations of the 2,600th year of the imperial line, though no firm provenance survives. Unclaimed and unremoved, it lingers at the roadside. (Tradition; accounts vary)
