Ibunto Bookstore 彙文堂書店 and Naitō Konan 内藤湖南

Before arriving in Japan in May 28, 2017, I happened to pick up a Chinese book on Kyoto bookstores 京都古书店风景 written by Su Zhenshu 苏枕书, which has a nice chapter on Ibunto Bookstore 彙文堂書店. I followed the instruction and visited the bookstore after I arrived in Kyoto. It was famous because Naitō Torajirō (Japanese: 内藤 虎次郎, August 27, 1866 – June 26, 1934), commonly known as Naitō Konan (内藤 湖南), wrote the plaque for the bookstore.
