English: In early December, leading 40,000 men including the armies of Kato, Tachibana and Nabeshima, Josui moved the troops to defeat Shimazu, who was the last enemy force remaining in Kyushu, but, on December 17 when his army advanced toward Minamata, Higo Province, he received a cease-fire order issued as a result of a reconsiliation agreement reached between Ieyasu TOKUGAWA and Shimazu whereby he returned to his castle and his army was dismissed.
Japanese: そして11月に入り加藤、立花、鍋島勢を加えた4万の軍勢で九州最後の敵勢力である島津討伐に向かったが11月12日に肥後の水俣まで進軍したとき、徳川家康と島津との和議成立による停戦命令を受け居城に戻り、軍を解散した。
English: It is said that Josui's ultimate objective was to take on Ieyasu for supremacy by putting Kyushu under his command to lead its military might to east.
Japanese: 如水のねらいは九州を統一し、その兵力を率いて東上し家康に決戦を挑んで天下を取ることにあったとも言われる。
English: There is irony in that his son Nagamasa's successful performance contributed to ending the Battle of Sekigahara in a short period of time.
Japanese: 息子の長政の活躍により、関ヶ原の合戦が短期に終結したのは皮肉な巡り合わせと言えるかも知れない。
English: If, however, Josui was indeed serious about seizing supreme power, it would have required a thorough consultation with his son Nagamasa and, considering Josui's finess, it seems more puzzling than being dismissed as an oversight.
Japanese: しかし、本気で天下を取ろうとしたのであれば息子の長政と綿密な打ち合わせが必要であり、それをしなかったのは如水の手腕を考えれば手落ちというより不審である。
English: In light of the above, some argue that it was cunning calculation to put pressure on Ieyasu by acting as if he had ambition for supremacy to ensure that Ieyasu appreciated the Kuroda family's capability and the fidelity of Josui's son Nagamasa; because, Ieyasu would treat the Kuroda family accordingly, and this would lead to the continued existence and ultimate prosperity of the Kuroda family.
Japanese: そのため、天下を狙う野望を持っていたというのは見せかけで如水は家康に脅威を感じさせ、一方で息子の長政が家康に忠誠を尽くすことにより黒田家の存続と繁栄を狙った深謀遠慮であるという説もある。
English: After the Battle of Sekigahara, when Nagamasa came home and proudly said, 'Esquire Ieyasu took my right hand and praised my work,' Josui said to his son, 'What was your left hand doing then (Why didn't you kill Ieyasu with the other hand)?'
Japanese: 関ヶ原の戦いの後、帰郷した長政が「家康殿は右手を取って功労を褒めてくれた」と自慢したのに対し、如水は「その時、お前の左手は何をしていた（何故空いている手で家康を殺さなかったのか）」と言った。
English: Conversely, in view of the fact that this sort of anecdote was in public circulation, it seems even more unlikely that Josui was seriously pursuing supreme power (since, if he was, he would have kept it in the strictest secrecy).
Japanese: このような逸話が広く世間に流布していた事実からは、逆に本気で天下を狙っていたとは考えにくい（本気だったならば固く秘密にしたであろう）。
English: Rather, it seems that this anecdote served to emphasize Nagamasa's fidelity to Ieyasu by contrasting with the scheming Josui.
Japanese: むしろ陰謀家の如水に対比することで、長政の家康に対する忠誠を強調した逸話と考えることができる。
English: After the Battle of Sekigahara, Nagamasa was awarded the territory of Chikuzen Najima (Fukuoka) with 523,000 koku in recognition of the top deed of valor by Ieyasu.
Japanese: 関ヶ原の合戦の後、長政は家康から勲功第一として筑前名島（福岡）で52万3000石を与えられた。
English: Josui also moved from Nakatsu-jo Castle to Fukuoka-jo Castle and thereafter lived in retirement completely outside politics.
Japanese: 如水も中津城から福岡城に移り、そこでその後は政治に関与することなく隠居生活を送った。
English: With respect to the career of Yoshitaka, it is said that there are many exaggerations in military epics written in the Edo period in order to glamorize military strategists in action.
Japanese: 一般に伝えられる孝高の活躍については、軍師の活躍をよりきらびやかに描こうとする江戸時代の軍記物などで誇張された部分も多いと言われる。
English: He and Shigeharu TAKENAKA (Hanbei TAKENAKA) were referred to as the twin jewels of Hideyoshi and were called the Double Hanbei or the Two Hanbei.
Japanese: 竹中重治（半兵衛）と共に秀吉の双璧と謳われ、「両兵衛」・「二兵衛」と称された。
English: Although he was portrayed to be ambitious aiming to grab supreme power, Yoshitaka never once betrayed his lord.
Japanese: 虎視眈々と天下を狙う野心家として描かれることが多いが、実際には主君を裏切ったことは一度もない。
English: And, with respect to Ieyasu TOKUGAWA during the Battle of Sekigahara, both Yoshitaka and Masamoto were vassals under the Toyotomi family with no master-servant relationship between them, belonging to the East as allies.
Japanese: また、関ヶ原の合戦の際の徳川家康に関しても2人は同じ豊臣家の家臣であって主従ではなく建前上は同じ東軍であったから、敵対すらしていない。
English: Ango SAKAGUCHI said of Yoshitaka, 'Although he was brilliant, he was nothing more than a warmonger with a second rate aspiration.'
Japanese: 坂口安吾は「天才ではあるが、ただの戦争マニアであって野心は二流」と評している。
English: It is said that, when Nobunaga died during the Incident at Honno-ji Temple, Yoshitaka said to Hideyoshi, 'Your lucky opportunity has arrived, hasn't it?'
Japanese: 本能寺の変で織田信長が死去したとき、孝高は秀吉に対して「御運が開かれる機会が参りましたな」と言った。
English: It has been said that the fact that Hideyoshi awarded Yoshitaka, who had numerous achievelents, with the territory of Nakatsu in the Buzen Province far away from Osaka with only 120,000 koku (which seems like a stingy package in comparison to what Hideyoshi gave to the other daimyo such as Kiyosama KATO or Masanori FUKUSHIMA, who had always been with Hideyoshi) proves this.
Japanese: 秀吉が多くの功績を立てた孝高に対して、大坂から遠く離れた豊前の中津でわずか12万石しか与えなかった（加藤清正・福島正則ら他の子飼い大名と比べると小封と言える）のも、それを示していると言われる。
English: That scarred-head KURODA cannot be trusted with any matters' (Meisho Genkoroku).
Japanese: 「黒田の瘡天窓は何にとも心を許し難きものなりと言はれしとぞ」（名将言行録）。」
English: Yoshitaka was 44 when he transferred the headship of the family to Nagamasa and it is said that he retired in his prime to secure his personal safety knowing that Hideyoshi was apprehensive about him.
Japanese: 孝高が長政に家督を譲って隠居したのは44歳のときであるが、働き盛りの年齢で隠居したのは秀吉に恐れられていることを知って身の安全を図ったためと言われる。
English: The vassals mentioned Ieyasu TOKUGAWA and Toshiie MAEDA but Hideyoshi mentioned Kanbei KURODA (Yoshitaka) and said, 'If Kanbei so decides, he will assume supremacy while I am still around.'
Japanese: 家臣たちは徳川家康や前田利家の名前を挙げたが秀吉は黒田官兵衛（孝高）を挙げ、「官兵衛がその気になれば、わしが生きている間にも天下を取るだろう」と言った。
English: His close aide asked Hideyoshi, 'But my lord, Esquire Kanbei is a daimyo with only 100,000 koku,' and Hideyoshi said as follows:
Japanese: 側近は「官兵衛殿は10万石程度の大名に過ぎませんが」と聞き返したところ、秀吉は次のように言った。
English: It seems that he deliberately circulated information about his retirement to see how the people around him would react.
Japanese: これはわざと情報を流すことで周囲の反応を見ようとしたものと思われる。
English: It is said that he was cold towards his retainers on purpose so that they would not kill themselves on the death of Kanbei, or so that his retainers would devote their fidelity to Nagamasa who was the head of the Kuroda clan at that time.
Japanese: これは殉死者を出さないためとも、当主の長政に家臣団の忠誠を向けさせるためとも言われている。
English: When Murashige rose in revolt, Yoshitaka was sent to persuade him to reconsider but, with Yoshitaka not returning for a prolonged period of time, Nobunaga jumped to the conclusion that Yoshitaka had defected to the Murashige side and ordered to kill Nagamasa who was left with Nobunaga as a hostage.
Japanese: 村重謀反のとき、信長は翻意するよう説得に向かった孝高が帰ってこないのは村重に寝返ったからだと判断し、人質として預けられていた長政を殺害するように命じた。
English: To remember their gratitude towards Shigeharu, the Kuroda family consequently adopted the family crest of the Takenaka family as theirs (this family crest refers to Kuromochi. Kuromochi is a family crest to hope for an increase in the amount of koku).
Japanese: このため、重治への感謝の気持を忘れないために黒田家は家紋に竹中家の家紋を用いた（この家紋とは黒餅の事を指す。黒餅とは石高の加増を願う家紋である）。
English: Kojuro NAKAGAWA (February 18, 1866 - October 7, 1944) is a former member of the House of Peers, official of the Ministry of Education, and the founder of Kyoto Hosei School (present Ritsumeikan University).
Japanese: 中川小十郎（なかがわこじゅうろう、慶応2年1月4日(旧暦)（1866年2月18日）-1944年10月7日）は、元貴族院議員、文部省官僚で、京都法政学校（現在の立命館大学）創立者。

Japanese: 東京に出た中川小十郎は、西園寺公望の知遇を得て、東京神田の西園寺邸に出入りするようになった。
English: The close relationship between Supreme Order Prince SAIONJI and Kojuro was due to the following facts: since his adoptive father Buheita NAKAGAWA and Rokuzaemon NAKAGAWA served on active duty for Kinmochi SAIONJI in the Boshin Civil War, the Saionji family and the Nakagawa family had a master-subordinate relationship; and his uncle Kenjiro NAKAGAWA enjoyed a close association with Kinmochi SAIONJI since the initial year of the Meiji Period to the Taisho Period.
Japanese: 中川の養父・中川武平太、実父・中川禄左衛門が戊辰戦争で西園寺に従軍して以来、西園寺と中川家が主従関係にあったこと、叔父・中川謙二郎が明治初年から大正期にかけて西園寺公望と親しくしていたことが西園寺公と小十郎の親密な関係の礎となった。
English: When he was a student at the Imperial University, he wanted to enter the (Japanese) Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce.
Japanese: 帝大時代の小十郎は、卒業後は農商務省(日本)に進みたいと考えていた。
English: However, at the job interview, he became angry with the vice minister' manner, and although he was admitted to the Ministry, he turned down the offer.
Japanese: ところが就職面接での次官の態度に憤慨し、入省を認められたもののこれを断ってしまった。
English: Then he talked to his mentor Hiroji KINOSHITA, and upon being recommended to the Ministry of Education, on July 27, 1893, he entered the Ministry of education.
Japanese: そこで恩師の木下廣次に相談したところ、文部省ではどうかと勧められ、1893年7月27日、一転して文部省に入ることとなった。
English: On August 27, 1895, only two years after entering the Ministry, he was appointed with unprecedented speed to be the Executive Secretary to the Minister of Education, Kinmochi SAIONJI.
Japanese: 入省からわずか二年後の1895年8月27日、小十郎は異例の早さで西園寺公望文部大臣秘書官に任命される。
English: This was an exceptional promotion that was due to SAIONJI owing a special favor to him.
Japanese: この異例の大抜擢は、西園寺から特別に目をかけられていたからに他ならない。
English: During the period of the Executive Secretaries to the Ministry of Education, he was involved in the foundation of Kyoto Imperial University (present Kyoto University) as SAIONJI's right hand, and was assigned as the first executive secretary to Kyoto University.
Japanese: 文相秘書官時代の中川は、西園寺の右腕として京都帝国大学（現在の京都大学）創設に関わり、京都大学初代事務局長に取り立てられている。
English: In addition, when SAIONJI took charge of the promoter to establish the Japan Women's University, he took the post as chief secretary of the foundation preparatory secretariat of the university with Yasuie TOGAWA and Shozo ASO, and made efforts to establish a higher educational institute as a government official of the Ministry of Education.

English: Kojuro NAKAGAWA's philosophy on education was to place the importance on women's education and this seems to have been largely influenced by his uncle Kenjiro NAKAGAWA, who was the principle of Ochanomizu University.
Japanese: 中川小十郎の教育理念は特に女子教育を重要視するもので、これはお茶の水女子大学・校長だった叔父・中川謙二郎の影響を大きく受けたものと思われる。
English: NAKAGAWA's strong passion toward the enhancement of women's education can be traced through his activities at that time, such as his participation in the 'The Vernacular Movement' from the earlier stage of the movement, and involvement in the establishment of Japan Women's University promoted by Jinzo NARUSE.
Japanese: 「言文一致運動」に早い段階から参加していたことや、成瀬仁蔵による日本女子大学設立への参与など、当時の動静から女子教育強化に対する中川の情熱を窺うことができる。
English: In 1888, while still a student, Kojuro presented an article titled 'The method to establish the common writing style between men and women' with Naohiko (Masahiko) MASAKI, who was his close friend and later became the principal of Tokyo Fine Arts School (present Tokyo University of Arts) in the educational journals "Dainihon Kyoikukai Zasshi "(Vols. 73 and 74: March and April) and "Kyoshi no Tomo" (Vols. 10 and 11: March and April).
Japanese: 1888年、当時まだ学生だった小十郎は、「大日本教育会雑誌（第73・74号3・4月号）」および「教師之友（第10・11号3・4月号）」に、親友でのちに東京美術学校（現在の東京芸術大学）校長となる正木直彦（政彦）と連盟で「男女ノ文体ヲ一ニスル方法」という論文を発表している。
English: They applied the article to a prize essay contest organized by Dainippon Kyoiku Kai (Great Japan Education Society) and won 'first' prize while Arinori MORI was the Minister of Education.
Japanese: これは、森有礼文部大臣当時、大日本教育会が懸賞論文を募集したものに応募したもので、見事「一等」に選ばれている。
English: In this article, NAKAGAWA advocated his theory that if a uniformed writing style could be adopted to elaborate on texts, 'this would lead to the disappearance between difference in men and women's writing styles,' and his theory attracted people's attention as a unique opinion for its time.
Japanese: この中で中川は、文体一致を教科書編纂にも採用すれば「正ニコレ男女文体ノ差ノ消滅スル」という持論を展開し、当時としては先駆的な意見として注目された。
English: In later years, he recalled 'Although nowadays the colloquial style is widely practiced, at that time this idea did not gain approval by the public in general.' ('Hakuun sanso zakki' (Miscellaneous record at Hakuun sanso villa) in "Ritsumeikan Gakkai-shi" (Ritsumeikan University Bureau) Vol. 9: March, 1917).
Japanese: 後年中川は、「今日でこそ口語体は広く行はれて来たけれども当時に至つては中々一般の賛成を得るには至らなかつた」と述べている（「白雲山荘雑記」『立命館学誌』九1917年・大正6年3月）。」

Japanese: 1935年、立命館出版部より刊行された「美妙選集（上巻）」巻頭で中川は次のように述べ、「女子教育」と「国家の開化」には密接な関係があることを説いている。
English: There is no doubt that the process and the contents of women's education largely relate to a nation's culture, and I believe that no one can be opposed to this.'
Japanese: 「女子教育の過程およびその性質如何は大に一国の文化に関係すること更に疑ひを容れざる所にして、想ふに一人も異論を唱ふるものなかるべし。」
English: In general, women's education and a nation's development affect each other, and therefore, the perfect education for women can not be achieved if society does not have a higher level of culture, and without achieving what could be considered a satisfactory education for women, real development can not be expected.'
Japanese: 「蓋し女の教育と一国の開化とは互に相影響するものにして、文化の進みたる社会にあらざれば完全なる女子の教育を望むべからず、女子の教育宜しきを得るにあらざれば真正なる開化を望むばからず。」
English: ('Concept of the publication of Iratsume,' "Iratsume" Vol.1 (July 1887: Publishing Department of Ritsumeikan Foundation).
Japanese: （「いらつめ発行の趣旨」『以良都女』第一号（1887年7月、立命館出版部））
English: While he was an officer of the Ministry of Education, NAKAGAWA also associated with Jinzo NARUSE, who established Japan Women's University.
Japanese: 文部官僚時代の中川は、日本女子大学を設立した成瀬仁蔵とも交流があった。
English: About his relation with NARUSE, he said that 'when I was serving as the executive secretary at Ministry of Education, at my house I was often visited by a person called Jinzo NARUSE, who scrambled to establish a women's university at today's Mejiro, and a person called Shozo ASO' which was representative of the fact that NARUSE and another person visited NAKAGAWA to discuss an idea to establish a school ('Nakagawa Socho Kowa (II)' (Nakagawa Headmaster's talk), "Nakagawa-ke Bunsho" (Document of the Nakagawa Family).
Japanese: 成瀬との関係について中川は、「吾輩が文部省で秘書官をしていた時分、現在の目白にある女子大学を創立しやうとして色々奔走していた成瀬仁蔵といふ人と麻生正蔵といふ人とが吾輩の家に寄寓していた」と述べており、成瀬らが中川を訪れ学校設立について具体的に協議を行っていたことを窺わせる（「中川総長講話（二）」『中川家文書』）。
English: As an official of the Ministry of Education, NAKAGAWA served as the executive secretary of the foundation secretariat of the Japan Women's University on non-regular bases, and supported Kinmochi SAIONJI who actively backed the establishment of the university.

English: In 1929, he made a speech titled 'The enhancement of women's education.'
Japanese: 1929年（昭和4年）に「女子教育の拡充」と題する演説を行っている。
English: The draft handwritten by himself had as many as 31 pages, and he advocated the necessity to take 'the wise decision to totally eradicate state-regulated prostitutes.'
Japanese: 手書きによる演説草稿は三十一枚にのぼり、「公娼全廃の英断」の必要性を説いている。
English: He said that the introduction of 'the women's suffrage system' was too early, saying that '[s]till there is no women's education, and women in general lack consciousness as citizens,' and insisted that the enhancement of women's education was a top priority.
Japanese: また「婦選制度」の導入については時期尚早とした上で，「女子教育が不在であり一般女子に公民としての自覚が乏しい」とし、まずは女子教育の充実が先決と主張。
English: Moreover, he declared that 'the biggest objective in the Showa new administration' was to enhance women's higher education, and developed his theory of absolute equality of the sexes, insisting the 'equal right of men and women' was the highest ideal of the cultured nation.
Japanese: さらに「昭和新政の最も大なる眼目」は、女子に対する高等教育の拡充にあると断じ、「男女同権」こそが「文化社会の最高理想」という徹底的な両性平等論を展開した（『中川家文書』）。
English: In January 11, 1897, he was appointed to be the Councilor for the Ministry of Education under the Minister of Education Mochiaki HACHISUKA (The second Matsukata Cabinet).
Japanese: 1897年1月11日、蜂須賀茂韶文部大臣（第二次松方内閣）のもと、文部省参事官に就任する。

Japanese: 実業界に転じ、加島屋（現在の大同生命）の再興に尽力したほか、大阪堂島米穀取引所監査役、朝日生命保険株式会社副社長を勤めるなど活躍した。
English: However, when he noticed the restricted reality that Kyoto Imperial University, in the establishment of which he himself was involved as an official of the Ministry of Education, was unable to accept other than those who graduated from the old-education-system high schools as its system and that it was far from the educational ideal advocated by Kinmochi SAIONJI, that is, 'the nation should offer the opportunities to those who have ability and will,' he decided to establish a private school by himself.
Japanese: しかし文部官僚時代、創設の中心に関わった京都帝国大学が制度上旧制高等学校卒業生しか受け入れることができず、西園寺公望が提唱した「能力と意欲のある人に国として（教育の）機会を与えるべき」という教育理念からもかけ離れている実態に限界を感じ、自ら私学を興すことを思い立つ。
English: NAKAGAWA also consulted with Hiroji KINOSHITA, about the establishment of Kyoto Housei School, who was his teacher and the first president of Kyoto Imperial University.
Japanese: 中川は、恩師で京都帝大初代総長だった木下廣次にも京都法政学校設立の相談をしている。
English: According to him, KINOSHITA liked this plan very much and said that ' as a fundamental principle, Kyoto Housei School should have a sense of oneness with Kyoto Imperial University.'
Japanese: 木下はこの計画を大変に気に入り、京都法政学校は京都帝国大学と「同心一体たるべきことを根本条件とすべき」と言われたと述べている。
English: In the provision for the 'act of endowment' of the 'Ritsumeikan Foundation,' the entity established with Kyoto Housei School as its parent organization, there was a clause that clearly mentioned that when the foundation would be dissolved, all properties would be donated to Kyoto Imperial University, and this clause was representative of a certain connection with 'the sense of oneness' towards Kyoto Imperial University which KINOSHITA indicated.
Japanese: のちに京都法政学校を母体にして設立する「財団法人立命館」の「寄付行為」には、財団解散時には所有財産の全てが京都帝国大学に寄付されると明記されていたが、これは木下の示唆した京都帝大との「同心一体」につながるものである。
English: On May 4, 1900, 'Request for establishment of private Kyoto Housei School (Kyoto law and politics technical school)' was submitted to the Kyoto governor.
Japanese: 1900年5月4日、京都府知事に対し「私立京都法政学校設立認可申請書」を提出。
English: On May 19, 1900, the establishment was successfully admitted, and the inauguration ceremony of the school was held on June 5 of the same year.
Japanese: 同年5月19日、晴れて設置が認可され、同6月5日に開校式典を開いた。

Japanese: 1908年7月4日、西園寺内閣が総辞職すると樺太庁事務官として樺太に出向。
English: It seems that SAIONJI wanted to fend off the army's intent of virtually establishing a military regime by placing a military administrator in Karafuto, and sent Nakagawa, a faithful person to him, to Karafuto in order to block the army's plan.
Japanese: そこに軍人長官を置いて実質的な軍政を敷こうとする陸軍の要求をかわしたい西園寺が、これを阻止すべく自分の息のかかった中川を樺太に送った人事と見られる。
English: In September 1911, Kojuro NAKAGAWA, far from the capital, had been smoothly promoted to 2nd senior official and then to imperial appointee, and practically reached the top as civilian personnel.

Japanese: 1912年9月11日、中川は文部省を依願退職し、台湾銀行副頭取に就任する。
English: This is known as 'Amakudari,' and at the time it was a post that all retired government officials wanted to be placed in.
Japanese: これはいわゆる「天下り」で、当時は誰にとっても羨望の天下りポストであった。
English: This year, he was granted the rank 'Jushii' (Junior Fourth Rank) and also received 'the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette.'

English: As vice president of the Bank of Taiwan, he worked actively, setting up branch offices in the eastern areas of Taiwan and New York, and in 1919, he took charge as adviser for 'Hua Nan Bank' and 'Nanyo Soko' (The South Seas Warehousing Company), and the following year he became 'the president' of the Bank of Taiwan.
Japanese: 台湾銀行副頭取として、南方方面やニューヨークに出張所を創設するなど精力的に活動したほか、1919年に設立した「華南銀行」、「南洋倉庫」の顧問にも就任し、翌年には台湾銀行「頭取」となっている。
English: While he was the president of Bank of Taiwan, as he had more spare time, he associated more frequently with upper management in political and financial society, and backed by Kinmochi SAIONJI, he gradually set foot into the world of politics.
Japanese: 台湾銀行時代の中川は、時間的に余裕ができたこともあり、政財界上層部との付き合いが増え、西園寺公望からの後援を受けて次第に政治の世界へと足を踏み入れるようになっていった。
English: In July 1916, Hisoka INOUE, who was the Mayor of Kyoto City and also NAKAGAWA's friend (professor at Kyoto Imperial University and the assistant principal of Kyoto Hosei School) resigned in order to receive treatement for his illness.
