Seto Bridge

Sadaaki, a child at the time of Aki, was the person who built the heyday of Hojo Kanazawa.
At the age of 25, he was selected for the Rokuhara Exploration, and at the age of 32, he returned to Kamakura for more than a year, and stayed in Kyoto for a long time until the age of 37.

It is presumed that the permanent Kanazawabunko was built during the time of Sadaaki.
