高知市神田の和霊神社は、脱藩を決意した坂本龍馬が立ち寄り成就を祈ったと言われています。その後の龍馬の活躍はご存知のとおり。日本の夜明けをつくった龍馬がその第一歩を印します。
文久2年（1862）3月24日、28歳の龍馬は「吉野に花見に行く」と言い残して同志・沢村惣之丞とともに土佐を脱藩しました。この「吉野」とは現在、高知市神田字才谷山にある、和霊神社がある辺りのことで当時は桜の名所だったそうです。龍馬はこの和霊神社に立ち寄り、水盃をしたと伝えられています。無事に目的を達することができるようにとお祈りしたのでしょうか。
脱藩後の龍馬は、33歳で亡くなるまで幕末維新の志士として「日本で初めての商社亀山社中計画設立・薩長連合成立・大政奉還の基案船中八策」等、日本の夜明け、明治維新の改革に大きく活躍しました。
今の時代、坂本龍馬の「龍馬精神」「人を愛し平和を愛し平和求める心」をしっかりと受け継ぎ、自らの手で世界に目を向けた希望あふれる元気な社会を構築しようとする人材を必要としています。
現在、日本を思う龍馬を尊敬し師と仰ぐ全国の龍馬会からなる「龍馬社中」に、世界で第207番目（国内191、海外１6）となるタイ・カンチャブリ龍馬会が発足となっております。
龍馬精神は日本を始め世界各地へ勢いを持って伝播されております。
全国龍馬社中の目的は、龍馬精神である「自忘他利」を受け継ぎ、次の時代に共有・拡大・継承し、「龍馬Ｗｏｒｌｄ（＝龍馬の世界）」を広く学び行動し、たくさんの世界の皆様と交流を深めていきたいと考えています。

Message from the president
The Warei Shrine in Kanda, Kochi City is said to be where Ryoma Sakamoto, who had decided to leave his domain, stopped by to pray for his success.
We all know about Ryoma's subsequent activities. Ryoma, who created the dawn of Japan, marked the first step.
On March 24, 1862, at the age of 28, Ryoma left Tosa with his comrade Sawamura Sonojo, saying, "I am going to Yoshino to see the cherry blossoms. "Yoshino” refers to the area where the Warei Shrine is located in Kouda-Aza Saitaniyama, Kochi City, which was famous for its cherry blossoms at that time. It is said that Ryoma stopped by this shrine to drink a cup of water, perhaps praying that he would be able to reach his goal safely.
After his escape from the clan, Ryoma played an active role in the Meiji Restoration, the dawn of Japan, as an ambitious leader until his death at the age of 33.
Today, we need people who will inherit Ryoma Sakamoto's "Ryoma spirit" and "love people, love peace, and seek peace", and who will try to build a vibrant society full of hope with their own hands.
At present, the "Ryoma Shachu," which consists of Ryoma associations throughout Japan that respect Ryoma and look up to him as their mentor, has inaugurated the 207th Ryoma Association in the world (191 in Japan and 16 overseas) in Kanchaburi, Thailand.
The spirit of Ryoma is spreading vigorously throughout Japan and the world.
The purpose of the Zenkoku Ryoma Shachu is to inherit the Ryoma spirit of "self-forgetting, others-for-advancement," to share, expand, and pass it on to the next generation, to learn and act widely in the "Ryoma World", and to deepen exchanges with many people around the world.
