Poet. Also known as "Lady Takeko Kujo," she was a daughter of Abbot Myonyo and is noted for her social work. She labored vigorously for women's causes and founded the Fujinkai movement. During the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 she engaged in rescue efforts, building the Asoka Hospital as a representative of the spirit of King Asoka of ancient India. The intensity of her efforts seemed to undermine her health and led to her early death.
