It is a gratitude and reminder of a Prominent female imperial loyalist at the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868). A daughter of Sakyo Tsuzaki, she Tadahiro Konoe, closely associated herself with such people as the priest Gessho and Takamori Saigo. She contributed to the movement Meiji Restoration by serving as a liaison between aristocrats and imperial loyalists. For her involvement, she was arrested twice and was sent to Edo (Tokyo). Later, coming back to Kyoto, she reconstructed the Jikishian Temple and lived on its grounds for the remainder of her life. A bronze statue in her honor was erected in Kyoto's Kameyama-koen Park.
