Suminokura Ryôi was a prominent Kyoto-based merchant of the late [[Azuchi-Momoyama period]] and early [[Edo period]]. One of the wealthiest merchants in Kyoto, and active in the [[red seal ships]] trade with Southeast Asia, he is perhaps most known today for his part in the construction of the [[Takasegawa canal]] which still cuts through Kyoto today.
