...in Japanese 坂本龍馬 (1836-1867) was one of the leading figures of the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate period and a visionary of the new Japan that would come after feudalism. And apparently, he liked curry a lot: the box in the picture is "Ryoma Curry" (龍馬カレー), from his birthplace, Kochi (高知) in Shikoku Island. And the picture on the box is Ryoma himself.
