Welcome to the Aikido Sangenkai Gallery

Names of contributors to the construction of the Kami-Shirataki Shrine (1913). Note the name "Morihei Ueshiba". 

It's not that clear from the picture, but all of the other names have place names in addition to the person's name. In addition, there are no contributions from Shirataki or Kami-Shirataki. It appears that this is because Morihei Ueshiba was acting as representative for those two districts.
