It is well known for its Inari shrine, its breweries of sake but also for Ryoma-dori shopping street which name comes from Ryoma Sakamoto, the famous samurai.
In 1866, Ryoma Sakamoto was attacked by the Bakufu government force while he was at a meeting at Teradaya's Inn.
He managed to escape thanks to his Smith & Wesson revolver but also to Oryo who became later his wife.
This shop shutter art with picture of Ryoma Sakamoto has been prepared for the Fushimi +Art Festival with the collaboration of the Kyoto University of Art and Design.
