On the grounds of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, there is a monument to Mrs. Takeko Kujo.
"Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" edited by Chuo-ku Tourism Association describes Mrs. Takeko Kujo as follows.
Takeko Kujo (1887-1928) was born in Kyoto as the second daughter of Koson Otani, the master of Nishi Honganji Temple. At the age of 21, he married Baron Yoshimune Kujo.
She accompanied her husband to study abroad at the University of Cambridge in the UK, but returned to Japan two years later. After that, he stayed at U.K. for 11 years, including working at the London branch of Yokohama Shokin Bank, so he lived separately for nearly 10 years. In the meantime, Takeko refined her various talents, such as learning waka from Nobutsuna Sasaki, painting from Shoen Uemura, and ikebana from Nishikawa Ikusatei, leaving works such as the songbooks "Kinsu", "Kaosen", and the essay "Muyuka". . When he was at Tsukiji Honganji Temple, he encountered the Great Kanto Earthquake and worked hard on the earthquake reconstruction project. There is a song monument on the precincts, saying, "I'm going to be drawn after a great thing."
For a while, I didn't have the opportunity to explore Mrs.'s achievements.
Mrs. Takeko Kujo 
found a photograph of the people affected by the Great Kanto Earthquake in front of Hibiya Park, etc. on the first floor of the Reconstruction Memorial Hall in Yokoami 2-chome, Sumida-ku.
Although the photo was published in the newspaper, I thought it would be rude to introduce the precious face of noble people, so I will introduce only the explanation.
