Etched Sorrow·Rakuchū / Gosho-minami

Takenouchi Shikibu Residence Site

By tradition, this was the home of Takenouchi Shikibu, a Shinto teacher expelled from Kyoto in 1758 after teaching young court nobles to revere the emperor. An early twentieth-century marker once pointed south to his dwelling; the marker has since vanished, leaving only a trace in the street.
