He was the leader of the domain at the end of the Edo period.

Original Text

Instead of Yomei scholar and Roju Katsushizu Itakura, who was in Edo, he taught the confusion at the end of the Edo period. As the Lord fought against Hakodate as the Shogunate side, he obeyed the new government side. Therefore, it seems that he replaced the feudal lord here. But you're the one who has made a lot of financial results in education.

Reform of Songshan in preparation

It is in front of the taxi stand in front of Bicchu Takahashi Station. When I arrived at the station, I didn't know what kind of person it was. Later, I learned that he was a great man who made a major reform of the Bicchu Matsuyama domain at the end of the Edo period around Bicchu Matsuyama Castle, samurai residences, local museums, etc. I was convinced that the statue was erected in front of the station.

Original Text

There was a statue at the taxi stand in front of the station. He was a person who rebuilt the Bicchu Matsuyama domain, which had been a serious financial difficulty, and reformed the domain administration. Katsushizu Itakura, the feudal lord who took over Yamada Kataya, was the leader of the roju under Yoshinobu Tokugawa, and it seems that he moved to Hakodate as a shogunate army even in the Boshin War. I learned about these two for the first time on this visit, but I thought they might be better known.
