　Eiichi Shibusawa was published by the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry as "The Business Who Created Japan".

"In that era when Japan was still in its infancy, Eiichi Shibusawa, the first president of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry (then the Chamber of Commerce and Industry) was aiming for a business nation Japan to lead the Japanese economy to prosperity. It was the business people at the time.　Eiichi Shibusawa, who is said to be the father of capitalism, founded as 500 companies, was a front runner with a foresight. "

The Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia, edited by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, contains easy-to-understand and concise descriptions of companies related to Eiichi Shibusawa.

　There is a representative company in Kabuto-cho that Eiichi Shibusawa was involved.　One of them remains a monument as the birthplace of the bank.　In the Edo period, currency exchange merchants played the role of banks, but after the Meiji Restoration, many bankrupt currency merchants continued.　In 1872, the government enacted the National Bank Ordinance in 1872 (1872) to establish a national bank under national control in order to stabilize the confused financial markets.　In 1873 (1873), eight people, including Hachiroemon Mitsui and Zensuke Ono, cooperated to establish Daiichi National Bank on the north side of the Shipping Bridge.　The building designed and constructed by the second generation Kisuke Shimizu is a five-story (including a tower) Japanese-Western eclectic style, and is said to have been highly evaluated both domestically and internationally after completion.

Daiichi National Bank subsequently transitioned to Imperial Bank, Daiichi Bank, Daiichi Kangyo Bank, and Mizuho Bank.

At present, a copper plate stating "the birthplace of the bank" is embedded in the wall in front of the Mizuho Bank Kabuto-cho branch.

On the west outer wall, there are explanatory panels for the "Birthplace of Bank", the first building, the second building (designed by Kingo Tatsuno), and the third building (designed by Koji Nishimura).　The fourth generation is the current building.
