Later, he became a professor at the same university and actively conducted classical studies. In 1943, he became a member of the Japan Art Academy, and in 1958, he was recognized as a Person of Cultural Merit. He passed away in 1967. His eldest son is the poet Shoichiro Kubota (This data was published at the time of the book's publication.)
