In December 1901, the fifteenth owner of Sumitomo, Kimisumi SUMITOMO, who was the real brother of Kinmochi SAIONJI, donated 1,500 yen, reserved land and a school building located in Hirokoji-dori Kawaramachi, Kamigyo-ku, (410 Nakagoryocho), Kyoto-City, and moved there.
そこで1901年12月、西園寺公望の実弟で第15代住友家当主・住友公純から1,500円の寄付を得るなどして上京区広小路通(京都市)河原町（中御霊町410番地）に校地と学舎を確保し移転した。
