✓Niijima Old Residence

On the way to the Kyoto Imperial Palace, I unexpectedly saw a residence that was open to the public. It was the residence of Niijima Yoshiro, the founder of Doshisha University, and his wife. It was a beautiful old western-style building. The apricot trees in the courtyard were full of fruits, which must have tasted sour and sweet.

Niijima Yoshiro's handwriting was very beautiful, showing his calligraphy. Although it was written in Japanese, it looked like cursive script. The most beautiful part of the whole house was the study, which was indeed a residence for literati.
