"Akemaro, the name which I use to sign the waka poems, was chosen for the following reason: the Crown Prince´s birthday is on December 23th, 1933, and the day and the month of his birth is the same as mine. I will never forget that, on December 23th of 1933, due to the members wish, I celebrated my birthday for the first time since I was born. As such, to celebrate the prince´s name which was announced as Akihito, I chose the name Akemaro."
Let´s see, therefore, the poems which the Master has signed using this name:
Konpon Reiti - Koomyo Dai - Primordial Ground - Koomyo Dai
