I wish him the best of luck.
The former president is called the "father of Taiwan's democratization" because he promoted democratization such as direct presidential elections in Taiwan's politics, where he continued to have power.
The former president also helped promote friendly relations between Japan and Taiwan.
I knew that the former president had learned from Kyoto Imperial University, but on the front page of the Kyoto Shimbun, which is the local news paper, on August 1, the former president often took a walk in the "K-ON!" sacred place. I was surprised to learn that
I often walked around famous historic sites such as Ichijoji Sagarimatsu (Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City) famous for Miyamoto Musashi-I told the interview of this paper 17 years ago
Kyoto Shimbun Morning Edition August 1, "Bongo"
The image below is the intersection of Ichijoji Sagarimatsu (the point where Shirakawa-dori and Manshuin-do intersect) that appears in the opening of "K-ON!"

In addition, a bus stop modeled after the bus stop "Ichijoji Sagarimatsu" will also appear in the second episode of the first period.

Of course, it was before World War II that the former president visited when he was a student, so I think that the atmosphere around Ichijoji Sagarimatsu Matsu has changed dramatically.
However, some things will not change.
Shisendo Temple and Hachidai Shrine, which were built in the Edo period(1903-1867), still convey their appearance to the ground of Ichijoji.
And the photo below is a memorial of the duel of Ichijoji Sagarimatsu, Downing Pine.
It is a famous duel that Musashi Miyamoto fought against Swordsman Yoshioka group.
A monument to commemorate this was erected in the Taisho era(1914-1926）.
The former president must have seen at a young age.
I passed by this stone monument today on August 2nd, and I was deeply moved by it.
