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 Togo Murano. At that time, it is said that Kasamori Inari, which was located at the planned extension site, 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 (now Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture). The nameplate of Kasamori Inari is a book by Shinichi Iida, President of Takashimaya. At the time of renovation in March 2019 (Heisei 31), the entire shrine was newly built, but some nails and hardware on the door were reused as they were when the rooftop was relocated. "
