A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Not technically, but you might as well, since it's the only card you can legally take into your hand from the effect and he can call a judge to verify that you did so if you don't show him.
Update:
A new Rule has been added to the CR deal with this issue, so as not to necessitate the involvement of judges.
Search: "If an effect searches for a specific card (such as "Ring of Water") or card-type (such as "a Ring"), the player must show it if he chooses to retrieve it, to verify that he has retrieved the appropriate card or type, even if the search effect does not specify it is shown.
