中庭の鎮守神の台石は、古く平安宮大極殿の礎石の一つであります。
平安建都1100年を記念して、その旧址に石碑が建てられることになり、京都市参事会のもとめにより、大師流の書を能くした当家11代、山田永年が揮毫。その返礼として贈られたものです。

The stone pedestal of the guardian deity in the courtyard is an ancient foundation stone from the Daigokuden (Imperial Audience Hall) of the Heian Palace.To commemorate the 1100th anniversary of the founding of Heian-kyō (Kyoto), a monument was erected on the former site of the Daigokuden. At the request of the Kyoto City Council, the inscription on the monument was written by Yamada Einen, the 11th head of our family, who was well-versed in the Daishi-ryu school of calligraphy.This foundation stone was presented to our family in gratitude for his contribution.
