Chosokabe Motochika Statue

Chosokabe Motochika was the 21st head of the Chosokabe clan. He grew from a Tosa local to a feudal lord during Japan's Warring States period. He is renowned for unifying Tosa, and nearly the whole of Shikoku. Before heading to war, he prayed for victory at Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine. The statue was erected there at the suggestion of a local volunteer group in 1999, marking 400 years since his death.
