He expressed his congratulations on the fact that construction of the main hall will begin next spring.If it was Nishi Honganji, it was addressed to Junnyo Kosho, and if it was Higashi Honganji, it was addressed to Kyonyo Koju.The date ranges from 1606, when Takatora became the governor of Izumi, to 1630, when he died.
