It is said that Shinroku Koike, the eldest son of Kasuke Yamanaka, a loyal retainer of the amago family, started the brewing business in Itami. Shinroku was blessed with many children, and the lineage of the eighth son who ran a money changer became a wealthy merchant representing the Edo period by lending daimyo. Currently, there are only stone plates, but it would be interesting if there was something to know how big a mansion was.

It was a place that was not listed in the guidebook at hand, and it was on a map that guided the famous places and historic sites of the area just outside the Kitahama subway station, so I came. It was the place as shown on the map, but I didn't notice it immediately after seeing only the monument. However, I realized that this area has been the commercial center of Osaka for a long time.
