Origin of Akuo name

AKUO is a name of Japanese origins, whose orthography has been modified: Hakuhoo.

It refers to 2 different things:

• A mythic bird rising from its own ashes (The Chinese Phoenix)
• A Japanese imperial period (672-686 AC) that signalled the end of the dark

Kamakura era and the start of the Heian era. It was a period rich in renewal in all areas of the Japanese society : spiritual, political, aesthetic, moral, social and artistic, best embodied in the famous Budhic Triad sculptures from the Yakushiji temple in Nara.
