The explanation on the roof of the Takashimaya Main Building is as follows.

"In 1954 (Showa 29), Nihonbashi Takashimaya was expanded under the design of architect Fujigo Murano. At that time, it is said that "Kasamori Inari", which was located at the site of the extension, was relocated to the rooftop. Kasamori Inari was loved in the Nihonbashi area as a branch of Kasamori Inari Shrine in Settsu Kunishima Kami-gun (currently Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture). The nameplate of Kasamori Inari is a book by Shinichi Iida, who served as President Takashimaya. At the time of renovation in March 2019, the entire shrine was newly built, but some of the nails and the hardware on the door were reused as they were when the roof was relocated. "
