The traditional date of his birth is 1526, and this fits with the version of his poem I found in a novel "57 nen no yume." However, more recent quotes of the poem (as internet and Rekishi Dokuhon 200.8) give "55 nen no yume," so it seems that a better manuscript has been found. But that does not make the poem any more historical. Anyway, most recent reference books (like Kojien) have "1528?".--[[User:Bethetsu|Bethetsu]] 00:21, 7 December 2006 (PST) | The traditional date of his birth is 1526, and this fits with the version of his poem I found in a novel "57 nen no yume."
