English: Both the Jimyoin family and the Bomon family had collateral branches; however, during the Muromachi period, the Bomon family and its collateral families Shirakawa, Takakura, and Rokkaku were cut off, and only the Matsunoki family, and the Jimyoin family and its collateral families including the Sono family, prevailed.
Japanese: 庶家としては、持明院家の庶家と坊門家の庶家が存在するが、坊門家及びその庶流である白河・高倉・六角の庶家は室町時代には断絶し、松木家・持明院家及び園家をはじめとする持明院家の庶家のみが後世に伝承した。

English: The Ichijo family which had strong tie with the Kamakura government being related to MINAMOTO no Yoritomo (different from the Ichijo family of regent families) was a collateral family of the Jimyoin family, too.

English: The Matsunoki family (also known as the Nakamikado family) was a dojoke (a family whose members were allowed to visit the Imperial Palace) that belonged to the main branch of the Nakamikado line of the Northern House of the Fujiwara family.
Japanese: 松木家（まつのきけ・中御門家（なかみかどけ））は、藤原北家中御門流本宗の堂上家。
English: The family was named 'Nakamikado' because Toshiie's heir, FUJIWARA no Munetoshi (who held the position of Dainagon, a chief councilor of state), had a mansion in Nakamikado.
Japanese: 俊家の嫡男大納言藤原宗俊が中御門に邸宅を持っていたことから「中御門」と号した。
English: Munetada wrote a diary called "Chuyuki" (an abbreviation for "Nakamikado Udaijin Nikki," literally meaning the diary of Nakamikado, Minister of the Right), and Munesuke became known as 'Hachikai no Otodo' (the Beekeeper Minister of State) due to his obsession with bees.
Japanese: 宗忠は日記『中右記』（「中御門右大臣日記」の意味）を著し、宗輔は「蜂飼大臣」の故事で知られている。
English: It is believed, however, that the family adopted Nakamikado as their official family name because Muneie's great-grandsons, Munemasa NAKAMIKADO and Munezane NAKAMIKADO (who were brothers), changed their family name to Nakamikado out of respect for Munetoshi's talent and fame in playing the sho and the Japanese flute.
Japanese: しかし、正式に中御門を家名としたのは、宗家の曾孫にあたる中御門宗雅・中御門宗実兄弟が宗俊の笙・笛の才能と名声を慕って付けたものと言われている。
English: The title afforded them a special status in that the family was entitled to promotion both as Urinke and meika (an upper rank of kuge, or court noble), enabling family members to be promoted from the position of Konoe no Jisho (vice-minister of the Palace Guards) to that of benkan (official of the dajokan, or Grand Council of State), and still hold an additional post such as that of sangi (councilor).
Japanese: 近衛次将から弁官に昇進して参議を兼ねるという羽林家と名家(公家)の昇進過程を併せ持つ特殊な家であった。
English: An extreme example of this was Muneshige NAKAMIKADO (a grandson of Munemasa), who lived during the period of Northern and Southern Courts (Japan).

Japanese: 中納言もしくは参議を極位極官とし、公卿に至らずに没する当主も少なからずいた。

Japanese: 室町時代の松木宗量（松木宗宣・宗重の孫）の代に家名を「松木」と改める。
English: Munetsugu's son, Munetsuna MATSUNOKI, was promoted to the rank of Juichii (Junior First Rank) and the position of Jun-daijin (Vice Minister) because he had the trust of the seii taishogun (literally, "great general who subdues the barbarians") of that time, Yoshitane ASHIKAGA of the Muromachi bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun).
Japanese: またその子松木宗綱は室町幕府征夷大将軍足利義稙の信任を受けて従一位准大臣となった。

Japanese: それでも、外戚となったことで家領は江戸時代初期の191石余から幕末には341石余に増加している。
English: Once the Sengoku Period (Japan's Warring States period) began, the family relocated to Echigo Province, strengthening their involvement in local politics in Echigo through such means as arranging to have Ryumatsu HACHIJO adopted by Fusayoshi UESUGI; in the process, however, they came into conflict with Echigo's Shugodai (deputy governor) family, the Nagao clan.
Japanese: 戦国時代(日本)になると越後国に下り、八条龍松を上杉房能の養子とするなどして越後への政治的介入を強めたが、その過程で越後守護代長尾氏と対立するようになる。
English: The antagonism between the two families broke out into the open in 1506 after Yoshikage NAGAO died in battle in Ecchu and was succeeded by Tamekage NAGAO; the Hachijo Uesugi family suffered a major blow in Echigo's Eisho War, during which Ryumatsu HACHIJO, the governor of Owari, and his son, as well as Narisada UESUGI, were driven to take their own lives.
Japanese: 永正3年（1506年）に長尾能景が越中で戦死し跡を長尾為景が継ぐと両者の対立は表面化し、越後永正の乱では八条尾張守・龍松父子や上杉成定が自害に追い込まれるなどして大きな打撃を受けた。
English: Research in recent years suggests that the Biwajima clan, which appeared during the Sengoku Period, may be none other than the Hachijo Uesugi clan.
Japanese: 近年の研究では、戦国時代に現れる琵琶島氏は八条上杉氏とみられている。

Japanese: この粟飯原次郎は、桓武平氏千葉氏から分出して千葉氏被官となった粟飯原氏の一族である。
English: Kiyotane AIHARA, who seems to be a descendant of Rokuhara bugyonin (magistrate in Rokuhara,) worked as "Mandokoro Shitsuji" (chief of Mandokoro, the Administrative Board) and "hikitsukebugyo" (a magistrate for court of justice) in the Muromachi bakuhu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun.)

Japanese: ただし、狭義においては戦国時代(日本)の平田職定（職国12代目の子孫）の子平田職清及びその養子平田職忠の系統を指す。
English: From the end of the Heian period, the heads of this family line were appointed secretary called 'suino' at the Bureau of Archives for generations--though sometimes intercepted by other families; from the latter half of the Muromachi period, the post became hereditary within this family line.
Japanese: この系統は平安時代末期より代々の当主は蔵人所出納に任じられ、途中他氏が任じられることがあったものの、室町時代後期以後は世襲となっていった。

Japanese: また、内蔵寮年預や右近衛府庁頭を兼ね、人物によっては内豎所年預や院庁の主典代も兼ねた。
English: Suino' was originally in charge of taking managing money and materials exclusively for the Bureau of Archives; however, as the Imperial Court was losing authority and accordingly the court offices stopped their functions during the warring period, 'suino' began to provide the service for other imperial offices.
Japanese: 出納は本来は蔵人所のみの金品の出納を担当していたが、戦乱期の朝廷機構の衰退に伴って諸官司が機能停止していく中で、その職掌は朝廷各部門の出納業務へと拡大の方向に向かっていった。
English: Mototada HIRATA (1580-1660) entered the service of the Bureau of Archives while quite young, and studied the precedents of customs and practices in the imperial court and their rules under Hidekata FUNABASHI.
Japanese: 平田職忠（天正8年（1580年）－万治3年（1660年））は、幼くして蔵人所に出仕して、舟橋秀賢に有職故実を学んだ。
English: Emperor Goyozei was pleased with Mototada's ability and granted Mototada permission to enter the ex-emperor's palace--which was an extraordinary privilege for low ranked officials; then, Mototada was raised from Jugoinoge (Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade), the Lieutenant of the Headquarters of the Inner Palace Guards to Shoshiinojo (Senior Fourth Rank, Upper Grade), the Treasury Commissioner in the Office of the Treasury.
Japanese: 後陽成天皇にその才能を寵愛され、地下官人では異例の院昇殿が認められ、従五位下近衛府から正四位上大蔵省に至った。
English: The Edo bakufu intended to control the Imperial Court by taking part in reestablishing the order of the Imperial Court; on the other hand, the Imperial Court desired to restore Court ceremonies--as intentions of both sides matched, restructuring of the lower ranking officials was carried out.
Japanese: 江戸幕府は朝廷秩序の回復に関与することで朝廷の統制を行うことを意図しており、朝廷儀式の再興を望む朝廷側との思惑の合致に伴い、地下官人制度の再編が行われた。
English: It was decided that the head secretary of the Council of State Secretaries 'kyokumu,' the Oshinokoji family; the head secretary of the Senior Recorder of the Left 'kanmu,' the Mibu family; and a secretary of the Bureau of Archives 'suino,' the Hirata family were to lead the lower ranking officials in respective offices to carry out clerical work and miscellaneous business for the ceremonies under the command of commissioners and court officials (according to "Kinchu shosei shoshi to shoji").
Japanese: その結果、局務押小路家が外記方、官務壬生家が官方、そして出納平田家が蔵人方の地下官人を統率して奉行・職事の指示に従って傘下の地下官人を率いて儀式のために必要な事務・雑務を行うことになった（「禁中諸政諸司等作法事」）。
English: Consequently, the lower ranking officials not only in the Bureau of Archives, but also in the Bureau of the Library, Water Office, Palace Storehouse Bureau were placed under the control of suino.
Japanese: この結果、蔵人所は勿論のこと、図書寮や主水司、内蔵寮などの地下官人は出納の支配下に置かれることになった。
English: Following the restructuring, the fief income of the Hirata family was raised to more than thirty-one koku and the Hirata family ranked third among the lower ranking court official families.
Japanese: また、これに伴い平田家の知行高が31石余りに引き上げられて、地下家第3位の地位に上昇した。
English: Those treatment provoked antipathy of the Oshinokoji family and the Mibu family, both of which controlled over the lower ranking court officials, being called 'the two major offices' and 'the heads of the lower ranking officials' for a long period.
Japanese: これは、長年「両局」「地下官人之棟梁」と称せられ、地下官人の支配を一手に引き受けてきた押小路家・壬生家の反感を招いた。
English: Especially, the Mibu family reacted sharply because their former subordinate officials, including those of the Palace Storehouse Bureau, were taken over by the Hirata family, which culminated in the dispute between 'suino' Mototada HIRATA and 'kanmu' Takasuke MIBU in 1634.
Japanese: 特に内蔵寮など自己に属していた官人の多くを失った壬生家の反発は強く、寛永11年（1634年）に出納平田職忠と官務壬生孝亮との間の相論に発展した。
English: In the dispute, Takasuke MIBU stated that 'suino' carried out imperial offerings to shrines and 'suino' was present at the conference of the court nobles in those days, which violated 'the old rules,' and besides, 'suino' obtained too much income, wore formal attire and daily attire in the imperial court, and behaved equivalent to 'the two major offices' in spite of its humble origin, all of which disturbed the order.
Japanese: 壬生孝亮はこの中で近年出納が諸社に対する官幣を行い、陣儀に参仕していることは「旧儀」に反すること、出納は本来凡卑の家柄であるにも関わらず身分不相応の知行を得て、衣冠束帯を身に付けており、両局と並肩しているのは「違乱」であると主張した。
English: Against that opinion, Morotada stated that the task and treatment of 'suino' were under 'the new rules' made during the Keicho era, but were stipulated by Ieyasu TOKUGAWA for restoring the Imperial court; therefore, 'kyokumu' and 'kanmu' had to comply with it.
Japanese: これに対して職忠は現在の出納の職掌・待遇は慶長年間の「新儀」であることは認めた上で、これは東照大権現（徳川家康）が朝廷再興のために定めたものであり、局務や官務はこれに従うべきであると反論した。
English: Those including the regent Akiyoshi ICHIJO and the shogun's deputy for Kyoto, Shigemune ITAKURA examined the dispute, but the examination ended leaving the dispute unsettled when an illegal official rank selling of Takasuke MIBU was discovered and Takasuke was dismissed and expelled from the court.
Japanese: この相論は摂政一条兼遐や京都所司代板倉重宗らによって審議されたが、途中で壬生孝亮による売官問題が発覚、孝亮は解官・追放となったために有耶無耶に終わり、問題は先送りとされた。
English: When the Imperial Court was losing authority during the Sengoku Period (Japan), a large number of the lower ranking officials lost jobs; when peace was restored under the control of Nobunaga ODA and then Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, the offices of 'kyokumu' and 'kanmu' recruited the lower ranking court officials due to shortages and formed a strong master-servant relationship with them even by using money in some cases.
Japanese: 戦国時代(日本)の皇室衰微期に多くの地下官人が没落し、織豊政権による平和回復によって地下官人の不足を補うために両局が替わりになる地下官人を取立て強力な支配関係を結び、場合によっては金銭的な動きも存在した。
English: The Edo bakufu and the high ranking Imperial court officials might have been worried about such activities of the two offices and managed to suppress them by granting authority corresponding to those two offices to 'suino' in order to reestablish order in the Imperial court and streamline imperial court operations.
Japanese: 江戸幕府と朝廷上層部は朝廷秩序の回復と運営の効率化の実現の観点から両局のこうした動きを警戒し、出納に官務・局務に准じる権限を与えて両局を掣肘しようと図ったものであったとされている。
English: Trusted by Emperor Goyozei and enjoying a relationship with the Edo shogunate through the Buddhist monk Tenkai, Mototada HIRATA was the right person to play the role, which led the rise of the Suino Hirata family.
Japanese: 後陽成天皇の信任が厚く、しかも天海を通じて江戸幕府とも関係があった平田職忠はまさにその役目に適した人物であり、それが出納平田家の上昇にもつながったのである。
English: Even after the order of the Imperial court was reestablished, the Suino Hirata family kept control over about sixty families of the lower ranking officials at the Bureau of Archives, and remained in charge of the administration of the Imperial ceremonies as 'kyokumu' and 'kanmu.'
Japanese: 結果的にその後も出納平田家による蔵人方（約60家）支配はそのまま継続され、両局と同様に朝廷儀式における実務を担当した。
English: The lower ranking officials during the Edo period were divided into three offices 'Kyokumu,' 'Kanmu,' and 'Suino' with a hierarchy of the class controlling over the lower ranking officials; the class consisting of the general lower ranking officials; and the class in charge of chore which could be attained by townsmen and farmers through purchasing stock.
Japanese: 江戸時代の地下官人制度は局務・官務・出納からなり地下官人を統率する催官人と一般の地下官人である並官人、その下で雑用を担当し株の売買によって町人や農民でも身分を獲得することが可能であった下官人の3層構造体制で構成されていた。
English: The Suino Hirata family was in the controlling class equivalent to the Kyokumu Oshinokoji family and the Kanmu Mibu family; yet in the traditional court noble society, Suino was regarded as people of humble origin as stated by Takasuke MIBU.
Japanese: 出納平田家は催官人であり職掌面では局務押小路家・官務壬生家と同格であったが、伝統的な公家社会では壬生孝亮が唱えたように出納を「凡卑」と捉える考え方は依然と強かった。
English: Kyokumu' and 'kanmu' were still recognized as 'the heads of the lower ranking officials' (according to "Shotoku kuge ran"), whereas the Hirata family was regarded as lower than the two families.
Japanese: 両局は依然として「地下官人之棟梁」として認識され（『正徳公家鑑』）、平田家はそれより下位と看做されていた。
English: According to 'Kanni Osadame' issued in 1750 by the Retired Emperor Sakuramachi and Kaneyoshi ICHIJO, the Oshinokoji family and the Mibu family were allowed to rise to Jusanmi (Junior Third Rank), but members of the Hirata family could be appointed Jushiinojo (Junior Fourth Rank, Upper Grade) at the age of seventy or older, being not allowed to rise to Shoshiinoge (Senior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade) unless special services were recognized in particular.
Japanese: 桜町上皇と一条兼香が定めた寛延3年（1750年）の「官位御定」では、押小路家・壬生家が従三位に昇ることが可能であったのに対して、平田家は従四位上叙任を70歳以上とし、特別な功労がない限りは正四位下には昇進できないとしている。
English: That rule was taken over after the Meiji Restoration: The Oshinokoji family and the Mibu family were conferred the title of Viscount, but the Hirata family was treated as a family of samurai descendants like the general lower ranking officials.
Japanese: その制約は明治維新後も続き、押小路家・壬生家は男爵に叙せられたのに対して、平田家は並官人と同様の士族として扱われた。
English: In "Unjo benran taizen" in 1868, after descriptions of 'Kyokumu' and 'Kanmu,' a sentence was added meaning that the Oshinokoji family, the Mibu family, and the Hirata family were collectively called 'Sansai.'
Japanese: ただし、慶応4年（明治元年/1868年）の『雲上大全便覧』には、両局の説明後に「蔵人方出納此三家合三催云」という一文が付け加えられ、押小路家・壬生家・平田家をもって「三催」と称している。
English: When today's historians refer to the Imperial Court and the lower ranking officials during the Edo period in their research, they customarily adopt the definition of 'the heads of the lower ranking officials = Sansa,' instead of 'the heads of the low ranked officials = Kyokumu and Kanmu,' adopted in the traditional court noble directories, to place the actual conditions first.
Japanese: 今日の歴史学界において、江戸時代の朝廷及び地下官人の研究を行う際には、その実態を重視して伝統的な公家名鑑類において定義付けられた「地下官人之棟梁」＝両局という図式は採用せず、「地下官人之棟梁」＝三催という位置付けで行われるようになっている。
English: From the end of the Heian period, the Hirata family served as secretary 'suino' at the Bureau of Archives for generations; the successive heads of the family recorded things including knowledge necessary for political affairs, public affairs, and ceremonies in a diary to hand down to their descendants.
Japanese: 平田家は平安時代末期より代々蔵人所出納を務め、後には世襲してきたが、政務や公事、儀式に必要な知識などを歴代当主が日記の形式で書き残して子孫へと伝えていった。
English: Fragments of the diaries of Motomori and Motosada HIRATA during the Sengoku Period exist, but only the diary of Mototada HIRATA of 1588 remains in complete form.
Japanese: 戦国時代(日本)の平田職盛・平田職定の日記が残闕は存在しているものの、現存するまとまった形式の日記としては平田職忠が書いた天正11年（1588年）の日記となる。
English: After that date to 1868, the first year of the Meiji period, the diary remains almost in the original form, although intermittently lost; especially for a little less than 200 years after 1674, the diary mostly survived with only about ten years lost.
Japanese: 以後断続的ながら明治元年までの日記がほぼ原本のまま残され、特に延宝2年（1674年）以後の200年弱のうち欠失は10余年分と高い残存率を残している。
English: Records remaining other than the diaries include: hereditary documents of ceremonies and precedents of customs and practices in the imperial court and their rules; drawings; and 32 volumes of 'Hiratake nikki burui' in which only the records 'bekki' on important ceremonies are compiled separately from the diaries.
Japanese: これに家伝の儀式・有職書や図面、重要な儀式について日記とは別個に記した記録「別記」のみを編纂した「平田家日記部類」32冊などが残されている。
English: The Archives and Mausolea Department of the Imperial Household Agency keeps these records as 'Hiratake kiroku' after the records were presented to the Imperial Household Ministry in 1901.
Japanese: これらは明治34年（1901年）に宮内省に献上され、今日も「平田家記録」として宮内庁書陵部が所蔵している。
English: Because of the official status of the Hirata family, the records contain few descriptions about important political events; instead, they contain details of the Imperial Court ceremonies, daily life in the imperial court, and the lower ranking official system during the Edo period, providing movements of the secretaries which cannot be seen in the court nobles' diaries and records.
Japanese: 政治的な重要事件に関する記述は役目の地位の問題から多くはないが、その代わり江戸時代の宮中儀式のあり方や日常の宮廷の状況、地下官人制度についての記録は詳細であり、公卿の日記・記録類では多くを見ることが出来ない事務方の動向について知ることが可能である。
English: Nikki no Ie (Houses with Diaries) is a nickname used to describe noble houses whose members kept diaries recording events relating to their families, and who passed these diaries down from generation to generation.
Japanese: 日記の家（にっきのいえ/にきのいえ・日記之家）とは、先祖代々の手による家の日記（家記）を伝蔵した公家の呼称。
