Members of an NPO, mainly consisting of people who have passed the Kyoto Examination Level 1, have been introducing historical sites and connections to Murasaki Shikibu of the Heian period, the Aizu clan of the late Edo period, and Saigo Takamori to history fans. A commemorative lecture will be held on November 24th, and a tour is scheduled for December 1st.
