　After visiting the Nissin Peace Memorial Hall, I came to the site of the Honjin Ito residence. There is only a stone monument and an explanation board. I thought that this Ito residence was related to Hirofumi Ito, but Ito is a completely different person. This Ito family is a family that served as a bugyo (magistrate), and it seems that it is a family that serves as the main camp, which is an inn of daimyo, when the Sankin change. So it's "Honjin".

Ryoma Sakamoto fans are coming!

The wealthy merchant Ito family has been a famous family since the Kamakura period, and in the Edo period it served as the head office in the east of Shimonoseki. Ryoma Sakamoto had a close relationship with Siebold and Shoin Yoshida, and called one room in the residence "Jinendo" and called his wife, Oryu, to live. Ryoma visited Shimonoseki many times throughout his life, and he had a close relationship with Kuzo ITO (sukedayu), the head of the time, and 1867 (Keio 3 ...
