English: In 1597, the Twenty-six Martyrs of Japan had their earlobes slashed off upon their death, and Organtino received the earlobes from a subordinate of the magistrate of Osaka.
Japanese: 1597年には日本二十六聖人の殉教に際して、京都で彼らの耳たぶが切り落とされると、それを大坂奉行の部下から受け取っている。
English: After spending half of his life in Japan devoting himself to his missionary work, late in his life he fell ill in Nagasaki and died in 1609 at the age of 76.
Japanese: 半生を日本宣教に捧げたオルガンティノは最晩年、長崎で病床につき、1609年、76歳で没した。
English: His mother worked as a hashita mono (lower-ranked court lady) for Nijo no Omiya (Imperial Princess Reishi); her family background is not known.
Japanese: 母は二条大宮（令子内親王）の半物（はしたもの、下仕えの女房）をしていた女性（氏素性は未詳）。
English: He had one brother, TAIRA no Chikamune, and sisters TAIRA no Tokiko (Kiyomori's wife), TAIRA no Shigeko (Kenshunmonin), Reizei no Tsubone (a court lady for Kenshunmonin), Kiyoko (Munemori's wife), Bomon-dono (Shigemori's wife; she may have been Koremori's mother), wife of FUJIWARA no Chikataka (mother of gon shosozu (Junior lesser prelate), Zenshin), and Sochi no Tsubone (court lady for Kenreimonin); his wife was FUJIWARA no Muneko; and, he had sons, TAIRA no Tokizane, TAIRA no Tokiie, Tokimune, and Tokisada, and daughters, Noriko (later, tenji (a maid of honor of the first rank) to the Emperor Gotoba), MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune's concubine, and Tadachika NAKAYAMA's wife.
Japanese: 兄弟に平親宗、姉妹に平時子（清盛の室）・平滋子（建春門院）・冷泉局（建春門院女房）・清子（宗盛の室）・坊門殿（重盛の室、維盛母の可能性あり）・藤原親隆の室（権少僧都・全真の母）・帥局（建礼門院女房）、室に藤原領子（むねこ）、子に平時実、平時家、時宗、時定、宣子（後鳥羽天皇の典侍）、源義経の側室、中山忠親の室らがいる。
English: With respect to Tokitada's mother, it is recorded in the article for July 18, 1181 in "Kikki" (Tsunefusa YOSHIDA's diary) that she was a hashita mono who served Nijo no Omiya (Imperial Princess Reishi).
Japanese: 時忠の母については『吉記』治承5年（1181年）5月28日条に、二条大宮（令子内親王）に仕えた半物であったことが記されている。
English: In course of time their relationship became alienated and she remarried FUJIWARA no Akinori, Ushoben (Minor Controller of the Right) and gave birth to Noen, the shugyo (chief priest) of Hossho-ji Temple.
Japanese: やがて時信との関係は疎遠となり、右少弁・藤原顕憲と再婚して法勝寺執行・能円を産む。
English: With respect to ages of Tokitada and Tokiko, an article on Kiyomori's becoming a priest for March 29, 1168 in "Heihanki" (TAIRA no Nobumori's diary) reads, 'this year, the shokoku (prime minister) is 51 years old and the nihon (second ranked) is 43 years old...,' and therefore Tokiko must have been born in 1126.
Japanese: 時忠と時子の年齢については、『兵範記』仁安3年（1168年）2月11日条の清盛出家の記事の中に「相国今年五十一、二品四十三云々」とあるので、時子は大治元年（1126年）生まれとなる。
English: Counting backward from "Kugyo bunin" (a personnel directory of the court nobles), Tokitada must have been born in 1130.
Japanese: 時忠は『公卿補任』から逆算すれば、大治5年（1130年）生まれである。
English: However, in the article for March 30, 1189 in "Azuma Kagami" (Mirror of East), it is recorded that, when Yoritomo heard about Tokitada's death, he asked people around him about Tokitada's age, and the reply was 62 year old.
Japanese: しかし『吾妻鏡』文治5年（1189年）3月5日条には、時忠の死去を聞いた頼朝が周囲の者に年齢を尋ねたところ、62歳という返事があったと記されている。
English: In "Horyakukanki" (a history book of 14th century Japan), it is written that 'Taira no Dainagon Tokitada is the younger brother of Kita no kata, Niidono (the second ranked), of the dajonyudo (prime minister who became a priest))' and, therefore, it seems sure that Tokitada was the younger brother of Tokiko.
Japanese: 『保暦間記』にも「平大納言時忠ト申ハ、太政入道ノ北方二位殿ノ弟也」とあり、時忠が時子の弟であることは間違いないと思われる。
English: In April 1146, he was appointed the position of hikurodo (trainee in the Kurodo-dokoro, or the Imperial Secretariat) at the age of 17 years old and in February the next year, he was appointed the position of rokui kurodo (kurodo (Chamberlain) of the Sixth Rank).
Japanese: 久安2年（1146年）3月、17歳で非蔵人、翌年正月に六位蔵人となる。
English: It was normal for a person of the rank of hikurodo to rokui kurodo to finish his life at this level.
Japanese: 非蔵人から六位蔵人となる階層の人物は、その階層で生涯を終えるのが通例だった。
English: As his father, Tokinobu, had stopped at goi (Fifth Rank) and his mother's status was also low, Tokitada could not expect promotion to higher rank.
Japanese: 父の時信が五位止まりで、母の身分も低いことから、時忠も本来ならそれ以上の昇進は望めなかった。
English: On September 24, 1154, Tokitada attended a Buddhist religious service for new building for temple and enshrinement of Buddhist image held by Cloistered Emperor Toba, together with Kiyomori, as inshi (officials of Imperial Agency) ("Heihanki").
Japanese: 仁平4年（1154年）8月8日の鳥羽法皇による新御堂法会・仏像安置の儀式に、時忠は清盛と共に院司として列席している（『兵範記』）。
English: In May 1160, after the Heiji War was settled and Kiyomori's influence had remarkably increased, Tokitada was picked out for promotion to kebiishi Uemon Gon no suke (provisional assistant captain of police and judicial chief of the Right Division of Outer Palace Guards).
Japanese: 平治の乱が終わり清盛の発言力が著しく高まった永暦元年（1160年）4月、時忠は検非違使右衛門権佐に抜擢された。
English: In February of the next year, Kiyomori was installed as Kebiishi no betto (Superintendent of the Imperial Police) and put in charge of maintaining public order in Kyoto, and Tokitada took command in the field under Kiyomori's control.
Japanese: 翌年正月には清盛が検非違使別当に就任して京都の治安維持の責任者となり、時忠は清盛の下で現場の指揮に当たった。
English: The Takamune branch of the Taira clan was a family line to work as officials for practical matters, but a large number of benkan who were in charge of office work of the Dajokan (Great Minister of the Council of State) were mainly from another line, offspring of TAIRA no Tokinori, and people from the line to which Tokitada belonged worked mainly as keishi (officials of the agency of imperial family, noble, etc.) of In (retired emperors) and Sekkan-ke (the families which produced regents.
Japanese: 高棟流平氏は実務官人の家系だったが、太政官の事務を処理する弁官を輩出していたのは別系統の平時範の子孫であり、時忠の系統は主に院や摂関家の家司として活動していた。
English: The supposed reasons for Tokitada's appointment to benkan were not only backup by Kiyomori but also Tokitada's capability for practical matters.
Japanese: 時忠が弁官に任じられた要因としては、清盛の後押しのみならず、時忠本人の実務能力の高さも大きく作用したと考えられる。
English: After the Heiji War, while the retired Emperor Goshirakawa and Emperor Nijo keenly confronted each other, on September 30, 1161, Tokitada's younger sister, Shigeko, gave birth to the seventh Imperial Prince (Norihito, later, Emperor Takakura) of Goshirakawa.
Japanese: 平治の乱の後、政治の主導権を巡って後白河上皇と二条天皇が激しく対立する中で、応保元年（1161年）9月3日、妹の滋子が後白河の第七皇子（憲仁、後の高倉天皇）を出産した。
English: Soon after that, on October 12, Tokitada was dismissed by Nijo together with TAIRA no Norimori, Kiyomori's younger brother.
Japanese: その直後の15日、時忠は清盛の弟・平教盛とともに二条により解官された。
English: Although the contents of their statement are not known, there is a strong possibility that they made a statement about official investiture of their nephew, Norihito, to Crown Prince.
Japanese: その内容は定かでないが、甥である憲仁の立太子を公言した可能性が高い。
English: In July the next year, MINAMOTO no Sukekata, who was an In no kinshin (close aide of Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa), was dismissed for putting a curse on Nijo at Kamo-sha Shrine, and Tokitada was also sentenced to exile in Izumo Province on August 12 for taking part in this conspiracy.
Japanese: 翌年6月、院近臣・源資賢が二条を賀茂社で呪詛したとして解官されるが、時忠も陰謀に関わったとして23日に出雲国に配流された。
English: Although Norimori was remitted a short time later, Tokitada's punishment was very heavy and we can infer that the Nijo shinsei (direct administration by Emperor Nijo) group was strongly cautious about Tokitada.
Japanese: 教盛が短期間で赦免されたのに対してはるかに重い処罰であり、二条親政派が時忠を強く警戒していたことがうかがわれる。
English: In this case, Kiyomori too showed a stance to support Nijo and he did not help Tokitada.
Japanese: この事件で清盛は二条支持の立場をとり、時忠に手を差し伸べることはなかった。
English: In August 1165, when Nijo died, Tokitada was called back (October 27).
Japanese: 永万元年（1165年）7月に二条が崩御すると、時忠は召還される（9月14日）。
English: After being restored to his original status in April 1166, he was appointed Sashoben (Second Assistant Controller of the Left) in May, and, in July, he was appointed to three posts concurrently, Uchuben (First Assistant Controller of the Right), kebiishi, Saemon no gon no suke (provisional assistant captain of the Left Division of Outer Palace Guards), and kurodo.
Japanese: 翌仁安(日本)元年（1166年）3月に本位に復すと、4月に左少弁、6月には右中弁・検非違使左衛門権佐・蔵人の三事兼帯となった。
English: On November 11, the official investiture of Imperial Prince Norihito to the Crown Prince, which could not be achieved five years previously, was realized.
Japanese: 10月10日には、5年前に果たせなかった憲仁親王の立太子が実現する。
English: This personnel change was appointment as a successor because of the dismissal of FUJIWARA no Tomokata and FUJWARA no Saneie, who were dissatisfied with the appointment of Kiyomori to daijin (Minister) and did not attend the Sechi-e (seasonal court banquets) of Gosechi (annual court ceremony of girls music), but it was quite unusual that one who had started from hikurodo became the Kurodo no to.
Japanese: 清盛の大臣就任に不満を抱き、五節の節会に欠席した藤原朝方・実家が解官されたことによる後任人事だったが、非蔵人から始まって蔵人頭になったのは極めて異例のことだった。
English: His rank rose from Shogoinoge (Senior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade) to Jushiinoge (Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade) and, in January the next year, he rose to Shoshiinoge (Senior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade) and was appointed Udaiben (Major Controller of the Right) and, on March 11, he was promoted to Sangi (councilor) and Uhyoe no kami (Captain of the Right Division of Middle Palace Guards) to be a court noble.
Japanese: 位階も正五位下から従四位下に上昇し、翌年正月に正四位下・右大弁、2月11日には参議・右兵衛督となり公卿への昇進を果たした。
English: In March 1168, Imperial Prince Norihito ascended to the throne (Emperor Takakura) and, in April, Shigeko became the Empress Dowager.
Japanese: 仁安3年（1168年）2月に憲仁親王が践祚（高倉天皇）、3月には滋子が皇太后となる。
English: Shigeko's uncle, Nobunori, was appointed Kurodo no to together with Norimori, and Tokitada was given the rank Jusanmi (Junior Third Rank).
Japanese: 滋子の叔父・信範は教盛とともに蔵人頭となり、時忠は従三位に叙せられた。
English: Partly because Kiyomori became a priest and superficially retired from politics, Goshirakawa took the initiative in politics after Takakura became Emperor.
Japanese: 清盛が出家して政界を表向き引退したこともあって、高倉即位後の政治は後白河が主導権を握った。
English: Tokitada, also, from his standpoint as the elder brother of Shigeko, took actions as part of Goshirakawa's brain trust.
Japanese: 時忠も滋子の兄という立場から、後白河の側近として活動することになる。
English: On August 14, Tokitada took office as Uemon no kami (Captain of the Right Division of Outer Palace Guards) and Kebiishi no betto; Tokitada was the first person who had experienced positions of jo (Lieutenant) and suke (assistant) and then became betto (chief officer).
Japanese: 7月3日、右衛門督・検非違使別当に就任するが、尉・佐を歴任して別当になったのは時忠が初めてだった。
English: In the same month, Tadamasa KAZANIN was appointed Daijo-daijin (Grand minister of state), which post was vacant after the resignation of Kiyomori, and Tokitada attended the ceremony for celebration.
Japanese: 同月、清盛辞任で空席となっていた太政大臣に花山院忠雅が任じられ、時忠は慶賀の儀式に出席している。
English: After the main temple of Ise-jingu Shrine was burnt down in January 1169, Tokitada was dispatched to Ise as an imperial messenger and noble for reconstruction in February the following year.
Japanese: 12月、伊勢神宮の正殿が焼失すると、翌嘉応元年（1169年）正月、復興のための公卿勅使として伊勢に派遣された。
English: In May, when Shigeko was given an official letter by Emperor to confer the ingo (title of respect given to close female relatives of the Emperor or a woman of comparable standing) of Kenshunmonin, Tokitada was appointed as nyoin betto (a chief officer serving a retired empress).
Japanese: 4月に滋子が建春門院の院号を宣下されたことにより、女院別当に補される。
English: In November, Yasoshima no matsuri Festival for the new Emperor was held on a grand scale and Tokitada joined the parade as a noble.
Japanese: 11月に新帝の八十嶋祭が盛大に執り行われ、時忠も公卿として行列に加わった。
English: The government by the retired Emperor Goshirakawa became stable thanks to cooperation by the whole Taira clans and it seemed that the political conditions would also be stabilized.
Japanese: 後白河院政は平氏一門の協力で磐石なものとなり、政情も安定するかに見えた。
English: In December, however, Enryaku-ji Temple suddenly presented a direct petition demanding the exile of FUJIWARA no Narichika, who was an In no Kinshin (the retired Emperor's courtier).
Japanese: ところが12月に突如として延暦寺が院近臣・藤原成親の流罪を要求して強訴を起こした。
English: This trouble occurred because Masatomo, who was the mokudai (deputy) for Owari Province, the chigyokoku (fiefdom) of Narichika, used violence against a jinnin (low-ranked Shinto priest or worker subordinated to a Shinto shrine) of Hiranosho Manor, Mino Province, which was owned by Enryaku-ji Temple.
Japanese: 成親の知行国である尾張国の目代・政友が延暦寺領美濃国平野荘の神人に乱暴を働いたことが発端だった。
English: Goshirakawa had given favorable treatment to Onjo-ji Temple among temples of the Tendai Sect of Buddhism and, toward Enryaku-ji Temple, he applied coercive policy by appointing In no kinshin to the provincial governors, such as suspension or abolishment of manor and regulations against jinnin, and, therefore, potential confrontation between the In and Enryaku-ji Temple had been very likely.
Japanese: 後白河は同じ天台宗でも園城寺を優遇し、延暦寺に対しては院近臣を国司に任じて荘園の停廃・神人の取り締まりなどの強圧的な政策を行っていたため、院と延暦寺の対立は前々から一触即発の状態にあった。
English: On January 17, a daishu (group of priests) of Enryaku-ji Temple departed from the temple to make direct petition, and, on January 18, Goshirakawa, who received a report that the daishu was ready to come to Kyoto, convened nobles to In no gosho (the retired Emperor's court) to consult about measures and issued a mobilization order to kebiishi and samurai.
Japanese: 22日、延暦寺の大衆が強訴のため下山、23日には上洛の態勢に入ったとの報を受けた後白河は、院御所に公卿を召集して対応を協議するとともに、検非違使・武士に動員令を下した。
English: However, the daishu burst not into the In no gosho but into the Imperial Palace, whose guard was thinner, and made a great fuss.
Japanese: しかし大衆は院御所ではなく、警備の手薄な内裏に乱入して気勢を上げた。
English: Under the situation, Tokitada advised to make quick response to either accept the requirement immediately if they ever do so, or dispatch samurai to get rid of the daishu if they would not accept the requirement.
Japanese: この事態に時忠は、要求を聞き入れるならすぐに受諾し、聞き入れないなら武士を派遣して大衆を追い払うべきだと、早急な対策をとることを進言する。
English: In kugegijo (a meeting to form decisions by nobles), opinions against dispatch of troops were in the majority, because there was a risk of destroying the portable shrine, and Shigemori, who should take command of governmental troops, expressed disapproval of sending out the troops in the night, and, therefore, the next day, the nobles decided on the exile of Narichika and confinement of Masatomo.
Japanese: 公卿議定では神輿が破壊される危険性から派兵に消極的な意見が大勢を占め、官兵を率いる平重盛も夜間の出動に難色を示したため、翌日の議定で成親配流・政友拘禁が決定した。
English: On January 23 only four days later, however, Narichika was recalled and Tokitada and Nobunori were dismissed by reason of 'soji-fujitsu' (A report to the throne included untrue information) ("Hyakurensho" (History book from the Kamakura period)), and the exile of Tokitada to Izumo Province and Nobunori to Bingo Province was decided.
Japanese: しかし、わずか4日後の28日に成親が召還され、時忠・信範は「奏事不実（奏上に事実でない点があった）」（『百錬抄』）という理由で解官、時忠は出雲国に、信範は備後国にそれぞれ配流されることになった。
English: At the same time, Tokizane and Tokiie (Tokitada's sons) and TAIRA no Nobumoto (Nobunori's son) were also dismissed ("Heihanki") and, as a result, members of Dojo Heishi (the Taira clan that was hereditarily allowed to the Court) were forced to resign.
Japanese: 同時に時実・時家（時忠の子）や平信基（信範の子）も解官となり（『兵範記』）、結果として堂上平氏が詰め腹を切らされる形になった。
English: As conflict between the In and Enryaku-ji Temple was reignited, Kiyomori, who was worried about instability of the political situation, came to Kyoto on February 11, the next year, samurai gathered in Rokuhara, and the situation became very tense.
Japanese: 院と延暦寺の抗争が再燃したことで、翌年正月17日に政情不安を危惧した清盛が上洛、武士が六波羅に集結して緊迫した情勢となった。
English: Because of pressure exerted by Kiyomori, on March 2 Goshirakawa was obliged to decide to dismiss Narichika and recall Tokitada and Nobunori.
Japanese: 後白河は清盛の圧力により、2月6日、やむを得ず成親の解官と時忠・信範の召還を決定した。
English: In this incident, disarray between Goshirakawa and the Taira clan occurred with respect to measures against Enryaku-ji Temple, and it was revealed that the government was not necessarily monolithic.
Japanese: この事件では、延暦寺への対応を巡って後白河と平氏の間に足並みの乱れが生じ、政権が必ずしも一枚岩でないことが露呈することになった。
English: Whereas Narichika was reappointed gon chunagon, Uhyoe no kami, and Kebiishi no betto in April, Tokitada returned to his original position only in January 1171.
Japanese: 成親が4月に早くも権中納言・右兵衛督・検非違使別当に還任したのに対して、時忠が本位に復したのは12月になってからだった。
English: In February 1171, the traditional ceremony to mark Emperor Takakura's coming of age was held.
Japanese: 承安(日本)元年（1171年）正月、高倉天皇の元服の儀式が執り行われた。
English: Although discord generated between Goshirakawa and Kiyomori had not been dispelled, cooperation between them was indispensable in order to maintain the regime, and the political influence of Kenshunmonin as a coordinator increased.
Japanese: 後白河と清盛の間に生じた不協和音が解消されたわけではなかったが、政権維持のためには両者の協力が不可欠であり、調整役として建春門院の政治的地位が上昇した。
English: It seems that Tokitada came to keep a certain distance from Goshirakawa and Kiyomori due to his distrust of them based on Tokitada's bitter experiences of being abandoned by Kiyomori at the time of his first downfall and by Goshirakawa at the time of his second downfall, and, after his return to politics, his activities as a close aide of Kenshunmonin became remarkable.
Japanese: 時忠は一回目の失脚では清盛に、二回目の失脚では後白河に切り捨てられた苦い経験から、双方に不信感を抱いて距離を置くようになったらしく、政界復帰後は建春門院側近としての活動が顕著となる。
English: One of his daughters became a nyobo (high-ranked court lady) of Kenshunmonin and she was called 'naishi' (a maid of honor to the Empress) (There is every possibility that she was the same person as TAIRA no Noriko, a tenji (a court lady of the first rank) mentioned in the article for June 12, 1191 in "Azuma Kagami" (The Mirror of the East)).
Japanese: 娘の一人は建春門院女房となり内侍と称していた（『吾妻鏡』建久2年（1191年）5月12日条）に見える典侍・平宣子と同一人物の可能性が高い）。
English: Tokitada's son, Tokizane, held the rank of Jugoinojo (Junior Fifth Rank, Upper Grade) given through Kenshunmonin, and Tokitada was reappointed Gon Chunagon on May 22 and allowed taiken (wearing of a sword) on June 1.
Japanese: 子の時実は建春門院の御給により従五位上に叙せられ、時忠は4月21日に権中納言に還任、5月1日には帯剣を許された。
English: In the last year, as Munemori and MINAMOTO no Sukekata had become Gon Chunagon, the total number of Chunagon (vice-councilor of state) reached nine for the first time and new case for ten Chunagon began, and Kanezane KUJO criticized it as 'unparalleled in history.' ("Gyokuyo" (Diary of Kanezane KUJO)).
Japanese: 前年、宗盛・源資賢が権中納言となったことで中納言9人の例が開かれたばかりだったが、早くも10人の例が始まり九条兼実は「未曾有」のことだと非難している（『玉葉』）。
English: On November 18, Goshirakawa and Kenshunmonin visited Fukuhara and were cordially entertained by Kiyomori.
Japanese: 10月23日、後白河と建春門院は福原に御幸して、清盛の歓待を受ける。
English: It is inferred that the marriage of Emperor Takakura and Kiyomori's daughter, TAIRA no Tokuko, was officially agreed upon during this imperial visit.
Japanese: この御幸において高倉天皇と清盛の娘・平徳子の婚姻が、正式に合意に達したと推定される。
English: It seems that Kenshunmonin's wish for stabilization of the era of Takakura and her intention to avoid internal separation of the regime played an important role.
Japanese: この婚姻の成立には高倉の治世安定を願い、政権の内部分裂を回避しようとする建春門院の意向が大きく作用したと思われる。
English: In March 1172 the following year, Tokiko became a chugu (the second consort of an emperor) and Tokitada assumed office as Gon no daibu (provisional master).
Japanese: 翌承安2年（1172年）2月に徳子は中宮となり、時忠は権大夫に就任した。
English: In November 1173, Saishoko-in Temple, Kenshunmonin's temple of prayer, whose construction Tokitada had been responsible for, was completed and, in February 1174, Tokitada rose to Junii (Junior Second Rank) given through Kenshunmonin.
Japanese: 承安3年（1173年）10月、時忠が責任者となって造営していた建春門院の御願寺・最勝光院が完成、承安4年（1174年）正月には、建春門院の御給で従二位に叙せられた。
English: It is said that, around this time, Tokitada made a statement 'Only members of the Taira family are humans,' praising the prosperity of the Taira family (From 'Kamuro' (Page-Boy Cut), Volume 1 of "Heike Monogatari" (The Tale of the Heike).
Japanese: 平氏の栄華をたたえて「一門にあらざらん者はみな人非人なるべし」との発言をしたのはこの時期とされる（『平家物語』巻第一「禿髪」より）。
English: However, as the Dojo Heishi to which Tokitada belonged was in a position independent from the Bumon Heishi (warrior Taira clan) to which Kiyomori belonged, this statement can also be understood as a message boasting of the rapid progress of the Dojo Heishi.
Japanese: ただし時忠の属する堂上平氏は、清盛らの武門平氏からは相対的に独立した位置にいるので、この発言は実務官僚としての堂上平氏の躍進を誇ったものとも考えられる。
English: On January 2, 1176, Tokitada became Uemon no kami and was reappointed Kebiishi no betto.
Japanese: 安元元年（1175年）11月12日には右衛門督となり検非違使別当に返り咲いた。
English: In April 1176, a large-scale ceremony to celebrate Goshirakawa's age of 50 years old was held in Hojuji-dono Palace (Hoju-ji Palace); Tokitada attended the ceremony together with other nobles and family members of the Taira clan.
Japanese: 安元2年（1176年）3月、後白河の50歳を賀す式典が法住寺殿で盛大に催され、時忠も他の公卿や平氏一門とともに出席する。
English: Because of Kenshunmonin's death, various problems that had been hidden until then came up to the surface.
Japanese: 建春門院の死により、今まで隠されていた様々な問題が顕在化することになる。
English: On December 2, Goshirakawa's eighth Imperial Prince (later, Cloistered Imperial Prince Doho), who had been a disciple of Cloistered Imperial Prince Shukaku, visited the Imperial Palace being held in FUJIWARA no Takafusa's arms, and on December 11, the ninth Imperial Prince (later, Cloistered Imperial Prince Shojin), who had been fostered by Chikamune, visited the Imperial Palace accompanying Tokitada ("Gyokuyo"), and both of them adopted by Takakura.
Japanese: 10月23日、守覚法親王の弟子となっていた後白河の第八皇子（後の道法法親王）が藤原隆房に抱えられて参内、11月2日には親宗が養っていた第九皇子（後の承仁法親王）も時忠が引き連れて参内し『玉葉』）、いずれも高倉の猶子となった。
English: It is inferred that those Imperial Princes were fostered as spares in the event Takakura could not get any Imperial Prince.
Japanese: これらの皇子は、高倉に皇子が生まれない場合の控えとして養育されていたと推測される。
English: Goshirakawa desired early abdication by Takakura, because if grown-up Takakura would administer affairs of state, Goshirakawa's influence would be remarkably restricted.
Japanese: 後白河は、成人した高倉が政務を行うようになると自らの発言力が著しく制限されることから、早期の譲位を望んでいた。
English: For Kiyomori, such abdication before the birth of a Imperial Prince from Tokuko could not be allowed.
Japanese: 清盛にすれば、徳子に皇子が生まれる前の譲位は絶対に容認できることではなかった。
English: At that time, only a lineal ancestor of an Emperor was allowed to open a cloister government, and, therefore, those Imperial Princes brought in by Tokitada, and so on, must be adopted children of Takakura in order to maintain influence of Takakura; this was a compromise to avoid conflict between Goshirakawa and Kiyomori.
Japanese: 当時、院政を行うことができたのは天皇の直系尊属に限定されていたので、時忠らが連れてきた皇子が高倉の猶子となったのは高倉の発言力保持のために必要な措置であり、後白河と清盛の対立を防ぐための妥協策でもあった。
English: However, this served only to carry forward the problem, and conflict between the Taira clan supporting Takakura and the In no kinshin gathering around Goshirakawa became unavoidable.
Japanese: しかし、これは問題の先延ばしに過ぎず、高倉を擁す平氏と後白河の下に結集する院近臣の対立は避けられないものとなっていった。
English: In May 1177, Enryaku-ji Temple made a direct petition requiring exile of FUJIWARA no Morotaka, who was Kaga no kami (governor of Kaga Province).
Japanese: 安元3年（1177年）4月、延暦寺が加賀守・藤原師高の流罪を要求して強訴を起こす。
English: As a retainer of Shigemori, who was defending, shot the portable shrine, the situation became worse and worse.
