akiteru had his will to return to the post of kurodo after the recuperation , so he tendered his letter of resignation over consultation with his biological father , toshiaki bojo; although he secretly hoped that his resignation would not be accepted or would be given a chance to come back to the position , he was dismissed and he wrote ' all i can do is to sigh and lament over the past ' in his diary (the section of twelfth and thirteenth of october , the fourth year of koka era of " akiteru diary " ). ただし、顕彰自身は蔵人の仕事自体には意欲を持ち、静養の後に復職したいという希望はもっていたらしく、実父の坊城俊明と相談して一旦蔵人の辞表を提出したものの、そのまま解任となり、「仰天嘆息之外無之者也」（『顕彰日記』弘化4年10月12・13日条）と書き記している。
