English: However, in reality, Tadazane was 22 in 1099 when his father Moromichi died suddenly and he became Sessho (Regent) at a tender age (younger than his great grandfather, who had taken on the role at 26 years), and as he had not even served as a Minister, he did not become Kampaku (Chancellor) and was confined to private audiences, and his grandfather FUJIWARA no Morozane, who was already retired, had no remaining influence to support Tadazane, leading to a decline in the power of the Sekkan-ke (family eligible to be Regents).
Japanese: だが現実の忠実は康和元年（1099年）22歳で父・師通が急死、最年少で摂政となった曽祖父藤原頼通の26歳を下回り大臣も経ていないため、関白になれず内覧にとどまった事と、既に引退していた祖父藤原師実には、忠実を支える余力が無かった事が摂関家勢力を落とす要因になった。
English: He could not make up his own mind about what to do about MINAMOTO no Yoshichika's misconduct, even the Red Robe issue involving Todai-ji Temple priests, further exposing his lack of political maturity.
Japanese: 源義親の濫行や東大寺僧の赤袈裟着用問題でも自らの判断を下すことが出来ず、政治的未熟をさらけ出した。
English: For this reason the Regent's household came to be entirely overshadowed by Insei (rule by retired emperor), and for the rest of his life Tadazane left to pursue dreams of a restoration of the "splendor" of the Regent household.
Japanese: このため、摂関家は完全に院政の風下に立つ事になり、忠実は摂関家の「栄花」を再び取り戻すという夢を生涯かけて追求する事になる。
English: Tadazane's first wife was Ninshi, daughter of MINAMOTO no Toshifusa; however, due to the premature death of a child, their marriage was dissolved.
Japanese: 忠実の最初の妻は源俊房の女・任子だったが、子の早世により婚姻関係は消滅してしまう。
English: Afterwards, MINAMOTO no Akifusa's daughter, MINAMOTO no Moroko (who was 8 years older than Tadazane), became Tadazane's legal wife and had by that stage already given birth to a child (the cloistered Imperial Prince Kakuho) by the Retired Emperor Shirakawa.
Japanese: その後正室となったのは源顕房の女・源師子で忠実より8歳年長、既に白河上皇の子・覚法法親王を産んでいた。
English: According to the historical narrative work "Ima Kagami" (The Mirror of the Present), Moroko caught Tadazane's eye from early on, made a request to her grandmother, MINAMOTO no Yoshiko, and Moroko shifted from the Retired Emperor.
Japanese: 『今鏡』によると、師子に一目惚れした忠実が祖母の源麗子（よしこ）に頼み、上皇から譲り受けたとする。
English: In 1100 he became Minister of the Right and in 1105 was appointed Emperor Horikawa's Kanpaku (Chief Adviser to the Emperor).
Japanese: 康和2年（1100年）に右大臣となり、長治2年（1105年）に堀河天皇の関白に任じられる。
English: In 1107, the greatest danger to Tadazane and the Sekkan (regent) family crisis coincided with the enthronement of Emperor Toba.
Japanese: 嘉承2年（1107年）、忠実と摂関家にとって最大の危機が鳥羽天皇の即位にと共に起こった。
English: The enthronement of Emperor Toba was assisted by FUJIWARA no Kinzane (of the Kanin House of the Fujiwara clan), who held ambitions regarding the Sekkan (regent) position based on maternal claims.
Japanese: 鳥羽天皇即位に尽力した藤原公実（閑院流）が外戚である事を理由に摂政の地位を望んだのである。
English: For a time Emperor Shirakawa also lost his focus; however, due to opposition of MINAMOTO no Toshiaki, who was the Incho Betto (the head of the Imperial agency), the ambitions were thwarted, and while also severe on Tadazane, the position of Regent was able to be preserved.
Japanese: 白河天皇も一時迷うが、院庁別当・源俊明の反対でその望みは斥けられ、忠実は辛くも摂関の地位を保持することができた。
English: In 1108, the Jimoku (process to appoint ranks and positions) was handled by TAIRA no Masamori but, along with the 'Saigebon' (lowest) rank in the nobility, many Juryo (Provincial Governor) appointments, including those of the likes of the 'key province' Inaba Province, were vassals of the Cloistered Emperor; however, the person who backed the Jimoku was no other than Tadazane himself and the Cloistered Emperor was decidedly subordinate.
Japanese: 嘉承3年（1108年）年正月の除目は、平正盛が「最下品」でありながら「第一国」である因幡国の受領となるなど法皇の近臣が多く受領に任じられたが、この除目を主催したのは他ならぬ忠実であり、法皇への従属は決定的なものとなっていた。
English: In 1113 he again involved himself as Kampaku but the position was as weak as ever, and, in perpetual petitions as head of the Fujiwara family, he had no impact in attempts to persuade Kofuku-ji Temple.
Japanese: 永久(元号)元年（1113年）には再び関白に転じるが立場の弱さは相変わらずで、永久の強訴では藤原氏長者として興福寺の説得を試みるが効果はなかった。
English: His errors were compounded when Hokumen samurai protecting him aimed to visit the capital and confronted the general public at Kofuku-ji Temple, leading to tragic bloodshed.
Japanese: 防御に向かった北面の武士が上洛を目指す興福寺大衆と衝突して流血の惨事が起こるなど失態が続いた。
English: To resolve the situation, the family of Regents formed ryo-shoen (private estates) in various regions and planned to restructure the basis of the economy, but this drew the attention of the Cloistered Emperor, who curtailed expansion of the estates.
Japanese: 事態打開のため、各地に摂関家領荘園を形成して経済基盤の建て直しを図るが、法皇の警戒を招き荘園の拡大は抑制される。
English: Around that time, according to the Cloistered Emperor there was talk of marriage between Tadazane and FUJIWARA no Shoshi (Kinzane's daughter); however, the Kanin House of the Fujiwara clan, hating Tadazane, declined and the engagement was broken off.
Japanese: この頃、法皇により忠通と公実の娘・藤原璋子の婚姻の話がもちあがるが、閑院流を憎悪する忠実は断り破談となっていた。
English: Tadazane was shocked, and in 1120 started moves to have his own daughter FUJIWARA no Taishi marry Emperor Toba.
Japanese: 忠実は衝撃を受け、保安(元号)元年（1120年）自らの娘・藤原泰子も鳥羽天皇に入内させようと工作を始めた。
English: Private audiences were used to show documents to the Emperor for his perusal, and being deprived of this duty was actuality equivalent to being dismissed as Kampaku.
Japanese: 内覧は天皇に奏上される文書を見る職務であり、この職務を剥奪されることは事実上関白を罷免される事に等しかった。
English: An astonished FUJIWARA no Munetada came running and was told by Tadazane he had 'run out of luck' (Munetada's "Chuyu-ki" chronicle).
Japanese: 驚いて駆けつけてきた藤原宗忠に、忠実はただ「運が尽きた」と語った（『中右記』）。
English: At that time, the Cloistered Emperor intended to make Tadazane's uncle, FUJIWARA no Ietada, his Kampaku, but due to opposition by FUJIWARA no Akitaka, in 1121 his eldest son FUJIWARA no Tadamichi became Kampaku.
Japanese: この時、法皇は忠実の叔父・藤原家忠を関白にするつもりだったが、藤原顕隆の反対により翌保安2年（1121年）長男藤原忠通が関白となる。
English: In 1129 Cloistered Emperor Shirakawa died and the commencement of government by Retired Emperor Toba bought with it a revival in the world of politics.
Japanese: 大治4年（1129年）に白河法皇が崩御、鳥羽院政が始まると政界に復帰を果たす。
English: By Tadazane having his own daughter Kunshi as consort to Retired Emperor Toba, his alliance with the Retired Emperor would be seen by all.
Japanese: 忠実は自らの娘・勲子を鳥羽上皇の妃として、上皇との協調を世間に示した。
English: Kunshi changed her name to Yasuko, and in exceptional circumstance as Empress; moreover, by imperial proclamation, became Koyoin (Lady Koyo).
Japanese: 勲子は泰子と改名、異例の措置で皇后となり、さらに院号宣下を受けて高陽院となる。
English: Whether it was because Tadazane's prior fall from grace was regretted or not, Retired Emperor Toba became increasingly close to his favorite consort, Tokushi, as well as his favorite vassal, Ienari, and made an effort to revive the house of Regents.
Japanese: 忠実は前回の失脚の反省からか、鳥羽上皇の寵妃・得子や寵臣・家成とも親交を深めて、摂関家の勢力回復につとめた。
English: However, as Kampaku, Tadamichi also had to deal with pride: the father-son relationship gradually deteriorated.
Japanese: しかし、忠通にも関白としての矜持があり、父子の関係は次第に悪化する事になる。
English: Tadazane singularly favored his quick-witted second son Yorinaga and feared that his heir, Tadamichi, would not produce a son.
Japanese: 忠実は才気ある次男頼長を偏愛する一方で跡継ぎである忠通に男子が生まれない事を危惧していた。
English: With this Tadazane worked towards having Tadamichi adopt Yorinaga, and Tadamichi adopted Yorinaga in 1125; however, with the birth of a son to Tadamichi in 1143, the link with Yorinaga was severed, and because of this, antagonism ensued between Tadamichi and an angry Tadazane.
Japanese: そこで忠実は忠通に頼長を養子にするように勧め、天治2年（1125年）忠通は頼長を養子とするが、康治2年（1143年）に忠通に男子が生まれると頼長との縁組を破棄したために、これに憤る忠実と忠通は対立する。
English: In particular, what disturbed Yorinaga was: when Yorinaga made efforts to have his adopted daughter (FUJIWARA no Tashi) taken as a bride by Emperor Konoe, Tadamichi as well had his adopted daughter (FUJIWARA no Teishi) married off.
Japanese: さらに頼長が養女・藤原多子を近衛天皇に入内させようとすると、忠通も養女・藤原呈子を入内させて頼長を妨害した。
English: For that reason, in 1150 Tadamichi was stripped of his role of head of the family, which was then transferred to Yorinaga.
Japanese: そのため久安6年（1150年）、氏長者を忠通から奪い、頼長に与えた。
English: In 1151, following efforts by Tadazane, Yorinaga received a command to appear at a private audience and was supposedly in the unusual situation of being Kampaku and having a private audience.
Japanese: 仁平元年（1151年）、忠実の尽力により頼長は内覧の宣旨を受け、関白と内覧が並立するという異常事態となった。
English: However, Emperor Konoe died childless in 1155 and Emperor Goshirakawa, who was supported by Tadamichi, was enthroned, leading to Yorinaga losing standing.
Japanese: しかし、久寿2年（1155年）、近衛天皇が子なく崩御し、忠通の推す後白河天皇が即位すると頼長は失脚してしまう。
English: Tadazane intervened on behalf of Koyoin (Lady Koyo), which diffused some of the Cloistered Emperor's anger, but, this ended up being a mistake when Koyoin died.
Japanese: 忠実は高陽院のとりなしで法皇の怒りを解こうとするが、高陽院の死去で失敗に終わる。
English: Yorinaga drew close to Emperor Sutoku and in 1156 the Hogen Disturbance broke out.
Japanese: 頼長は崇徳天皇に接近して、保元元年（1156年）、保元の乱が起こる。
English: After the hostilities he was charged with crimes but, due to intervention by Tadamichi, he escaped the charges and from then on led a secluded life at Chisoku-in Temple.
Japanese: 乱後、罪を問われ流罪になりかかるが忠通のとりなしで罪を免れ、以後は奈良の知足院に隠棲する。
English: However, this was also not just because of filial love: it is said that Tadamichi was fearful that the hereditary house of Regents rights held by Tadazane would be forfeited as part of the assets of a criminal.
Japanese: だが、それも親子愛からではなく、忠実が所有していた摂関家伝来の所領が罪人の財産として没収される事を忠通が恐れたからであると言われている。
English: Also, because the estates personally held by Tadazane, together with the estates of Yorinaga, had been made "mokkanryo" (territory confiscated by Kamakura bakufu for committing a crime) by decree of the warrior-counselor Shinzei, who came from the Southern House of the Fujiwara clan, various provinces were confiscated by Provincial Governors, but, as it had been a condition that Tadazane transfer all his property to Tadamichi, forfeiture was avoided.
Japanese: また、忠実個人所有の荘園は藤原南家出身の信西の命によって、頼長の荘園とともに没官領として諸国国司に接収されることとなったが、忠実が忠通に全てを譲渡することを条件に没収は回避された。
English: Whether it is because of these circumstances or not, Tadamichi's son Jien describes in "Gukansho" (The Future and the Past) that after his grandfather Tadazane passed away he became a revengeful ghost that haunted them (Tadamichi's descendants).
Japanese: そうした事情のためか、忠通の息子慈円は著書『愚管抄』の中で、祖父である忠実が死後に怨霊となって自分達（忠通の子孫）に祟りをなしていると記述している。
English: FUJIWARA no Toshinari (born 1114, died December 29, 1204) was a poet who lived from the latter part of the Heian period through the early Kamakura period.
Japanese: 藤原俊成（ふじわらのとしなり、永久(元号)2年（1114年）-元久元年11月30日(旧暦)（1204年12月29日）は平安時代後期から鎌倉時代初期の歌人。
English: Initially he was adopted by the Hamuro family and took the name Akihiro HAMURO; however, he subsequently returned to his parents' Mikohidari family home and changed his name.
Japanese: はじめ葉室家に養子に入り葉室顕広（あきひろ）を名乗ったが後に実家の御子左家に戻り改名した。
English: Influenced by the poet Saigyo becoming a priest, FUJIWARA no Toshinari himself held similar aspirations for a time, but, reflecting the fluid nature of the late Heian period, he straddled two schools of contemporary poetry: the rich lyrical poetic styles established in the traditions of the Manyoshu (Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves) and Kokin Wakashu (First Imperial Anthology of Japanese Poetry), and avant-garde literary fashions of the day given prominence amongst Rokujo-school literati.
Japanese: 西行（西行）の出家に影響され、自身も一時その願望を持つ事となったが、平安末期の無常観を反映しつつ、万葉集や古今和歌集の伝統を踏まえた抒情性の豊かな歌風を確立し、当世風の新奇性を重視した六条流の歌風と当時の歌壇を二分した。
English: As a key member of a Waka poetry group, Emperor Goshirakawa independently decreed the compilation of "Senzai Wakashu."
Japanese: 和歌所寄人をつとめ、後白河天皇の院宣で単独で『千載和歌集』を編んだ。
English: Books of poetry produced include "Korai Futeisho" (Poetic Styles from the Past) a tome presented to Imperial Princess Noriko (one of Retired Emperor Goshirakawa's ladies) as well as "Shunzei Kyo Waji Sojo" (Japanese Poetry of Shunzei) and "Kokin Mondo" (Ancient and Modern Questions and Answers).
Japanese: 歌学書には、『古来風躰抄』（後白河院の皇女である式子内親王に奉ったもの）のほか、『俊成卿和字奏状』『古今問答』。
English: As leader of the group he had a reputation and, besides directing the Kujo family in poetry matters, he produced a number of outstanding poets: commencing with his son Teika, his students included Jakuren and FUJIWARA no Ietaka etc.
Japanese: 指導者としても定評があり、九条家の歌の指導をおこなうほか、息子定家をはじめとして、門下に寂蓮、藤原家隆など優秀な歌人を多数輩出した。
English: In "Heike Monogatari" (The Tale of the Heike) he even paints a word picture of an episode involving one of his students, TAIRA no Tadanori, in: 'Tadanori miyako ochi' (Tadanori's Flight from the Capital).
Japanese: 『平家物語』「忠度都落」にも門下のひとり平忠度とのエピソードが描かれる。
English: (Details mentioned later) Also, he was also famous for the curious habit of holding onto a brazier made of Paulownia wood when composing poems.
Japanese: （詳細は後述）また桐火桶を抱えながら歌を作る癖をからかわれていた事も有名である。
English: Even in the Northern House, the most senior court rank of Gon Dainagon (a provisional councilor of state) was held by the collateral family line FUJIWARA no Nagaie school, and his father died early, which greatly delayed his promotion, but for those times he lived an extraordinary long life and advanced as far as Kotaigo gu no daibu (Master of the Empress Dowager's Household) with a court rank of Shosanmi (Senior Third Rank).
Japanese: 北家でも、権大納言を極官とした傍系の藤原長家流で、父と早く死別した事もあって出世は大きく遅れたが、当時としては異例の長寿を保ち、皇太后宮大夫正三位にまで進んだ。
English: In his son FUJIWARA no Teika's "Ogura Hyakunin Isshu" (Ogura's Sequence of One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets), Toshinari is engaged as Kotaigo gu no daibu, but with him there was an intensification of political/economic contradictions in society, a shift to the middle ages where the warrior families took back political control; the period was marked by upheaval and the Mikohidari family cemented its name as poets.
Japanese: 息子藤原定家の『小倉百人一首』には皇太后宮大夫俊成として採られるが、彼とともに社会が政治・経済的矛盾が深まる中、武家が政権を奪取する中世へ移行する、時代の激動期を生き抜き、歌の家としての御子左家の名を確立した。
English: The first episode involving Toshinari that comes to mind occurred during the Genpei-gassen (Battle of the Minamoto and Taira clans), also known as the Jisho Juei no ran (Jisho/Juei era War), when Toshinari and TAIRA no Tadanori reunited.
Japanese: 俊成に関するエピソードで第一に思い浮かぶのが源平合戦（治承・寿永の乱）の最中の平忠度との再会であろう。
English: Whilst his martial prowess was outstanding, even as a poet he looked up to Toshinari; in July 1183, when the entire Taira clan fled Kyoto, TAIRA no Tadanori (the outstanding genius Kiyomori's youngest brother) handed over the capital and visited Toshinari's estate.
Japanese: 武勇も優れていたが、歌人としても俊成に師事し、才能に優れていた平清盛末弟の平忠度は1183年（寿永2）7月(旧暦)の平氏一門都落ちの際、都に引き返し、俊成の邸を訪れた。
English: Careful not to upset his already agitated family members, Tadanori met with Toshinari and requested that if an Imperial Anthology of Japanese Poems was compiled that he wanted on of his poems included.
Japanese: 動揺する家人達にかまわず会った俊成に忠度が頼んだのはもし勅撰和歌集が作られるのなら、自分の歌を一首入れてほしい。
English: Presently Tadanori died in the Battle of Ichinotani, but Toshinari had insights from the Imperial Court and had the "Senzai shu" (Millennium) Anthology author noted as anonymous.
Japanese: まもなく忠度は一ノ谷の戦いで戦死したが、俊成は朝廷への配慮から詠み人知らずとして『千載集』に載せた。
English: Furthermore, 4 months before he passed away, political power was grasped and shifted to the Taira clan; the Genji clan, who had built the Kamakura bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun), and the previous Shogun MINAMOTO no Yoriie lost their lives in power struggles with gokenin (an immediate vassal of the shogun in the Kamakura and Muromachi periods) and, seeing this, the autocratic monarch Retired Emperor Gotoba took back the reigns of government from the Imperial Court.
Japanese: なお、薨去の4ヶ月前には平氏に代わって政権を握り、鎌倉幕府を建てた源氏も前将軍源頼家が御家人の勢力争いの中命を落とし、それを見ていた専制的君主後鳥羽上皇が政治の主導権を朝廷に取り戻そうとしていた。
English: Since early on, Toshinari had aspirations to join the Buddhist priesthood, but it is possible he considered the shifting uncertainties of the world at large.
Japanese: 早くから出家願望があった俊成だったが、改めて世の無常をかみ締めていたのかもしれない。
English: With the death of his father Toshitada in 1123, becomes the adopted son of FUJIWARA no Akiyori and takes the name Akihiro.
Japanese: 1123年（保安(元号)4）、父俊忠薨去により、藤原顕頼の養子となり、顕広と名乗る。
English: On November 26, 1155: promoted to the court rank of Jushiinojo (Junior Fourth Rank, Upper Grade) and retained his position as Sakyo no gon no daibu.
Japanese: 1155年（久寿2）10月23日、従四位上に昇叙し、左京権大夫如元。
English: On December 2, 1157: promoted to court rank of Shoshiinoge (Senior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade) and retained his position as Sakyo no gon no daibu.
Japanese: 1157年（保元2）10月22日、正四位下に昇叙し、左京権大夫如元。
English: On September 15, 1170: concurrently holds the role of Kogogu daibu (Master of the Empress's Household) (Goshirakawa's Empress FUJIWARA no Kinshi).
Japanese: 1170年（嘉暦2）7月26日、皇后宮大夫（後白河の皇后藤原忻子）を兼任。
English: On March 13, 1172: because the Empress became Dowager Empress, his position changed from Kogogu daibu to Kotaigo gu no daibu.
Japanese: 1172年（承安(日本)2）2月10日、皇后が皇太后となったため、皇后宮大夫から皇太后宮大夫に異動。
English: Shizuka Gozen (dates of birth and death unknown) was a women who lived at the end of the Heian period and the initial part of the Kamakura period.
Japanese: 静御前（しずかごぜん、生没年不詳）は、平安時代末期、鎌倉時代初期の女性。
English: When Yoshitsune, who had a conflict with his half-brother MINAMOTO no Yoritomo, left Kyoto and headed for Kyushu after the end of the Jisho Juei Rebellion, Shizuka Gozen also accompanied him, but his fleet was forced back to the shore by a storm.
Japanese: 治承・寿永の乱後、兄の源頼朝と対立した義経が京を落ちて九州へ向かう際に同行するが、義経の船団は嵐に遭難して岸へ戻される。
English: She parted from Yoshitsune in the mountains of Yoshino and decided to return to Kyoto, but since the attendants assigned to guard Shizuka stole all her belongings and abandoned her in the mountains, she didn't know which way to go and wandered astray in the mountain.
Japanese: 吉野で義経と別れ京へ戻るが、途中で従者に持ち物を奪われ山中をさまよった。
English: She was then sent to Kamakura, together with her mother Iso no Zenji, in March 1186.
Japanese: そして文治2年（1186年）3月に母の磯禅師とともに鎌倉に送られる。
English: That made Yoritomo extremely angry, but his wife, Masako HOJO, supported the feelings of Shizuka by saying, "If I were she, I would have sung a song in the same way" and spared her life.
Japanese: と義経を慕う歌を唄い、頼朝を激怒させるが、妻の北条政子が「私が御前の立場であっても、あの様に謡うでしょう」と取り成して命を助けた。
English: According to "Azuma Kagami," a history book of the Kamakura period, the scene of Shizuka's dancing is extolled: "It was a splendid scene in a shrine; her performance moved everybody there."
Japanese: 『吾妻鏡』では、静の舞の場面を「誠にこれ社壇の壮観、梁塵（りょうじん）ほとんど動くべし、上下みな興感を催す。」と絶賛している。
English: At this time, she was pregnant with Yoshitsune's child, but Yoritomo ordered that the baby be saved if a girl but killed if a boy.
Japanese: この時、静は義経の子を身ごもっており、頼朝は女子なら助けるが、男子なら殺すと命じる。
English: Yoshitsune and his group, who escaped from Kyoto, set sail from Daimotsuhama, today's Amagasaki City, for Kyushu on December 6, 1185, but their ship wrecked and the group members were separated.
Japanese: 文治元年11月6日（1185年12月15日）都落ちした義経の一行が九州へ渡るべく大物浜（尼崎市）から乗船するが、暴風雨によって難破し一行は離散。
English: Yoshitsune found himself with only MINAMOTO no Aritsuna, Kagemitsu HORI, Musashibo Benkei, and his concubine Shizuka.
Japanese: 義経に従っていたのは源有綱・堀景光・武蔵坊弁慶並びに妾の静のみであった。
English: On December 17, as the rumor said, Yoshitsune hid himself in Mount Yoshino, Yamato Province, as senior monk soldiers of Mt. Yoshino searched him in vain.
Japanese: 11月17日義経が大和国吉野山に隠れているとの噂があるので、吉野山の執行（修行）僧兵によって捜索するも見つからなかった。
English: She looked suspicious, and the monks caught and took her to the temple's administrative office to interrogate her.
Japanese: その姿がいかにも怪しいので衆徒達はこれを見咎め、執行坊に連れてきて詳細を問う。
English: Iyo no kami stayed in the mountain for five days, but after he heard a rumor of monks rising in revolt, he dressed in yamabushi (mountain priest) clothes and ran away.
Japanese: 5日間逗留しましたが、衆徒蜂起の噂を聞いて、伊豫守は山伏の姿を借りて逐電してしまいました。
English: He gave me a lot of valuables and sent me back to Kyoto with attendants.
Japanese: その時数多くの金銀類をわたくしに与え、雑色男たちを付けて京に送ろうとされました。
English: But the attendants robbed me of the treasure and abandoned me deep in the snowy mountain, and that's how I got here astray."
Japanese: しかし彼らは財宝を奪い取り、深い峯雪の中に捨て置いて行ってしまったので、このように迷って来たのです。」
English: On December 18, Yoshino's monks went into the snowy woods in search for Yoshitsune according to what Shizuka said.
Japanese: 11月18日静の証言によって義経を探す為、吉野の大衆はまた雪を踏み分け山を捜索する。
English: Yoshino Shugyo felt very sorry for her, had her rest to heal her body, and sent her to Kamakura.
Japanese: 吉野執行は静を大変気の毒に思い、充分労ってから鎌倉へ差し出す事になった。
English: "I was with Yoshu as he left Kyoto to head for the western part of Japan, and together we arrived at Daimotsuhama.
Japanese: 「豫州が都を出て西海へ赴いた明け方、一緒に連れ立って大物浜に到着しました。
English: He told me to stay here for a few days as he promised to send someone to pick me up, but if nobody came on the promised date, I was suggested to immediately leave the temple.
Japanese: 迎えを寄越すので一両日の間ここで待つように約束し、ただし約束の日を過ぎたらすぐさま立ち去るように言われました。
English: After a while, men with horses appeared at the temple, and although I was not told where we would go, I travelled on horseback for a few days and arrived at Mt. Yoshino.
Japanese: しばらく待っていると、馬を送ってきたのでこれに乗り、どこへ行くかわからないまま三日目に吉野山に着きました。
English: I walked through the snow in the mountain trails and finally got to Zaodo, but then I was arrested by Yoshino's monks."
Japanese: 私は深山の雪を凌ぎ、やっとのことで蔵王堂に着いたところ、吉野執行に捕らえられました。」
English: Tokimasa HOJO was ordered to send Shizuka to Kamakura so that she could be interrogated further.
Japanese: さらに問いただしたい事があるので、静を差し出すように北条時政に伝えられる。
English: On April 4, although Shizuka had already been interrogated by Tokimasa in Kyoto, she was again asked about the whereabouts of Yoshitsune by officials of the Monchujo (Court of Justice in the Kamakura period).
Japanese: 3月6日すでに京都で時政に調べられたが、はなはだ信用できないとして再び問注所の役人に義経の行方を問われる。
English: Yoshitsune heard about the uprising of monks of Yoshino, was dressed in a mountain priest's clothes, and went up into the mountain to enter Omine as monks saw him off.
Japanese: しかし山の大衆蜂起の事を聞いて、そこから（義経は）山伏の姿になり、大峰に入ると言って僧に送られて山に入りました。
English: I followed him and reached Ichi no torii (first torii), but as one monk bashed me and said women were not allowed to enter Omine, I had no choice but to head for Kyoto.
Japanese: 自分もまた跡を慕って一の鳥居の辺りまで行ったが、その僧に女人は大峰に入るべからずと叱られたので、やむなく都の方へ向かった。
English: But the attendants who accompanied me took away my treasure and ran away, and that was how I wandered off into Zaodo".
Japanese: ところが同行していた雑色達が財宝を奪って逃げてしまい、蔵王堂に迷い着きました。
English: What she said in Kyoto is somewhat different from what she just said; she said Yoshitsune's group went into Omine, but word had it that they went toward Tanomine and laid low, which means she must have lied, and that was why they were ordered to interrogate her again.
Japanese: およそ京都での申し立てと今の言葉といささか違っているし、大峰に入ったと言っているが、多武峯に向かったあと隠れたとの噂があるので、それらにきっと虚偽があるだろうから重ねて取り調べるよう命じられる。
English: On April 20, Shizuka was again asked about more information but just answered that she didn't know where Yoshitsune had gone.
Japanese: 3月22日静再び子細を尋ねられるも、義経の行方は知らないというだけであった。
