It is built right next to the Takarayama Hall. I didn't mention its existence because I'm not very familiar with history, but he was the chief retainer of the Satsuma domain and helped Hisamitsu Shimazu's reform of the domain administration and was the central figure of the domain administration. It seems that he recommended Taisei Hokan, and I also remembered the magnificence of this statue.
