If you bow and go through the torii gate, you will 膺 the remains of a private cram school and a memorial hall.
At the end of the Edo period, Kunito Nakanishi, a national scholar, established a private cram school in the precincts and recited the king.
膺 School is a private cram school where a man from Nakamura who was opening a school in Kyoto at the end of the Edo period was taught by Ryozo Nakanuma, a samurai from Nakamura, who returned home on fire as a son-in-law, cooperated with his adoptive father, Nakanishi Awasai, as a lecturer, and taught the way of Bunmu to gather young people on the island and protect the Oki country from the outside.
