At the conclusion of the great council of Aki, Daimyo Takamoto concluded with this speech:
"The great master of war exhorts us to know ourselves and to know the enemy, in this lies our security. What we have heard here today has help us to know ourselves and our enemies better. In knowing ourselves and our enemies, we can see more clearly, and in seeing more clearly, we can step more surely into our common future. I thank you all for your great efforts. Arigato!"
"Now, regarding the matter of succession, I have given this great consideration, and I determine... that my eldest son Mori Sanemune will inherit after me, unless he proves unworthy."
