Ms. Takamiko Reizumi Mr. Toru Yagi
Kyoto’s cultural heritage is famous for its shrines and temples, such as Heian Jingu Shrine and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, but we must never forget that the common people living in Kyoto cherish the shrines and Mr./Ms. in each town. It is the Shunseisha that enshrines Fujiwara Toshinari. The Mr./Ms. of the Machikado gods and the Buddha Mr./Ms. are small and nameless, but they have a history of being protected by the townspeople for generations. Isn’t this the underlying strength of Kyoto’s culture?
