"On the front side of Atago jinja (OTOKOZAKA) the steps are long and steep. They are famous for success in life and for the legend of the junioru samura MAGAKI HEIKUROU who dared to ride his horse up the steps and succeeded in delivering a plum gift to his lord. The Shogun praised him as a great rider in Japan. Everybody knows these steps are a symbol for success in life. They are called SHUSSE no ISHIDAN."The painting is located in the shrine next to where I live. The description is taken from a sign outside the shrine.
