English: According to "Heiji Monogatari" (The Tale of Heiji), at the time of the Heiji War which happened in 1159, he scolded his brother Korekata who joined the war following his nephew FUJIWARA no Nobuyori, which led to the remote cause of his disaffection.
Japanese: 『平治物語』によれば、平治元年（1159年）に勃発した平治の乱に際しては、甥に当たる藤原信頼に与同して軍事行動を起こした弟の惟方を叱責し、その離反の遠因を作ったとされる。
English: In the section of 'sandai (a visit to the Imperial Palace) of councilor Mitsuyori,' there is a description where Mitsuyori rightly made a commanding speech and Nobuyori, who showed a proud look, lost face to the contrary.

English: In 1159 he joined the Heiji War based on Hiraga go, Saku County, Shinano Province (present Saku City, Nagano Prefecture) at the age of 17, following MINAMOTO no Yoshitomo.
Japanese: 信濃国佐久郡平賀郷（現在の長野県佐久市）を本拠として、平治元年（1159年）の平治の乱に、17歳の若さで源義朝に従って出陣する。
English: In "Heiji Monogatari" it was described that he was called HIRAGA Shiro Yoshinobu and that Yoshitomo who saw Yoshinobu fighting in the battle at the Sanjo-gawara ordered roto (retainer) to relieve him saying 'Oh, there is no stupid warrior among Minamoto clan even in the Muchisashi class (a retainer who follows his master with a whip). Doesn't make a valuable soldier, Hiraga, killed.'
Japanese: 『平治物語』には平賀四郎義宣と記され、三条河原での戦いで奮戦する義宣（義信）を見た義朝が、「あぱれ、源氏は鞭さしまでも、をろかなる者はなき物かな。あたら兵、平賀うたすな。」と郎党達に救うように命じている様が記載されている。
English: It is thought that he separated from Yoshitomo and left for Shinano which was his base, but there is no record for more than 20 years after that.
Japanese: その後は義朝と別れ地理的に本拠地のある信濃へ向かったと考えられるが、以後二十年余に渡って記録からは姿を消す。
English: In addition, in "Heiji Monogatari" he was described as 'Jushi' with Sadoshikibutaifu Shigenari (MINAMOTO no Shigenari).
Japanese: なお『平治物語』には、佐渡式部大輔重成（源重成）と共に「従子」と記されている。
English: This Jushi is sometimes translated into modern Japanese as cousin, but it had no blood relationship in this case and meant 'a person who had a deep relationship with the Minamoto clan, although he was not the Minamoto clan.'
Japanese: この従子は現代語訳では従兄弟と訳されることもあるが、この場合は血縁上の従兄弟ではなく「一門ではないが、近い源氏」という意味である。
English: In 1180 MINAMOTO no Yoritomo raised an army and a little later MINAMOTO no Yoshinaka also did so in Shinano Province.
Japanese: 治承4年（1180年）源頼朝が挙兵、更に少し遅れて源義仲が信濃で挙兵する。
English: Although Yoshinobu's action at this time was not known, he was thought to fall into obscurity around Saku County in Shinano Province which was his base during the heyday of Taira family.
Japanese: この時の義信の動向は不明であるが、平家の全盛期は本拠地である信濃の佐久郡近辺に逼塞していたと考えられている。
English: Yoshinaka joined the battle of Yokotagawara on July 1181, based on Yoda, Maruko Town, Saku County after moving from Kiso to Joshu.
Japanese: 義仲は木曾から上州に移動した後に、佐久郡丸子町依田を拠点として養和元年（1181年）6月に横田河原の戦いに臨んでいる。
English: There is a record showing that Sakushu (warriors in Saku district) and Kaishu (warriors in Kai district) (this seems to be a misdescription of Joshushu (warriors in Joshu district) played a central role of the troops as well as Kisoshu (warriors in Kiso district).
Japanese: この戦いで木曾衆と並んで佐久衆と甲斐衆（これは上州衆の誤記と思われる）が軍の中核となっていたことが記録に残されている。
English: However, even if he followed Yoshinaka once, it seems that he followed him only in this battle, and finally he joined the troops under the command of Yoritomo who was a son of Yoshitomo and escaped to Togoku with him as mentioned above.
Japanese: ただ、一時的に義仲に従ったとしてもこの戦いだけと思われ、最終的には義朝の遺児で前述の逃避行を共にした頼朝の麾下に参じる。
English: In 1183 Yoritomo dispatched troops to Shinano Province in order to attack Yoshinaka, but as a result, Yoritomo made peace with Yoshinaka through the marriage between MINAMOTO no Yoshitaka (Shimizu no Kanja) who was the first son of Yoshinaka and Ohime (the first daughter of MINAMOTO no Yoritomo).
Japanese: 寿永2年（1183年）に頼朝が義仲を討つために軍を信濃に派遣し、結果的に義仲の長男源義高(清水冠者)と頼朝の長女大姫(源頼朝の娘)の縁組として和解している。
English: However, Yoritomo's troops at this time entered Saku County over Usui-toge Pass, took control of the Yoda-jo Castle, and faced Yoshinaka's troops at Zenkojidaira.
Japanese: が、この時の頼朝軍は碓氷峠を越えて佐久郡に入り、依田城を落して善光寺平で義仲軍と対峙している。
English: Some people guess that the Hiraga clan, whose base was in the Saku district, might have helped Yoritomo because the Saku district, which was an important place in Shinano where Yoshinaka raised an army, was conquered with almost no resistance in this important battle in which Yoritomo established superiority against Yoshinaka.
Japanese: この頼朝が義仲に対する優位性を確立した重要な争いにおいて、義仲が挙兵した場所であり、信濃における重要拠点といっていい佐久地方がほとんど無抵抗で制圧されていることから、佐久を本願地とする平賀氏の活躍があったのではと推測する向きもある。
English: On April, 1184, Koreyoshi, Yoshinobu's son, was assigned to the Shugo (provincial constable) of the Iga Province and Yoshinobu himself was assigned to Musashi no kuni no kami (governor of Musashi Province) by Yoritomo's recommendation on July in the same year.
Japanese: 元暦元年（1184年）3月には子惟義が伊賀国の守護に任じられ、義信自身も同年6月に頼朝の推挙により武蔵国守に任官し守護も兼ねた。
English: In addition, Koreyoshi was assigned to Sagami no kuni no kami (a governor of Sagami Province) on September 1185, which meant that the father and son pair were in charge of the governors of the important provinces near Kamakura.
Japanese: また文治元年（1185年）8月には惟義が相模国守となり、鎌倉に近い有力国の国司を父子で務めることになる。
English: Moreover, Yoritomo continued to rely on Yoshinobu, for example, at the time of the burial of Yoshitomo's cremains Yoshinobu and Koreyoshi were allowed to serve near them at Shochoju-in Temple on October 1185, and his precedence could be said to be the top of gokenin (an immediate vassal of the Shogunate in the Kamakura and Muromachi through Edo periods) as Monyo (blood line, lineage, connected by blood) of the Minamoto clan.
Japanese: また文治元年（1185年）9月の勝長寿院での義朝の遺骨埋葬の際には、義信と惟義の2人が源義隆の子源頼隆と共に遺骨に近侍することを許されるなど、義信への頼朝の信頼は最後まで変わらず、この時期の席次において源氏門葉として御家人筆頭ともいえる座を占めている。
English: Even after the death of Yoritomo, he worked as a grand person of the Minamoto clan, for example, he was in charge of kakan no yaku (role to place a crown on the head of boy when he becomes adult) at the time of genpuku (celebrate one's coming of age) of MINAMOTO no Sanetomo, the third Shogun.
Japanese: 頼朝死後も源氏一門の重鎮として、三代将軍源実朝の元服の際には加冠役（烏帽子親）を勤めている。
English: His date of death is not clear, but since there is a description of 'late Musashi no kami Yoshinobu Nyudo' on March 27, 1207 in "Azuma Kagami" (The Mirror of the East), it is sure that it was before that.
Japanese: 没年ははっきりしていないが、『吾妻鏡』の承元元年（1207年）2月20日に「故武蔵守義信入道」とあるので、それ以前であることは確実である。
English: It is said that Yoshinobu was adopted by MINAMOTO no Yoshimune (the first son of Hachiman Taro Yoshiie) who was his father's cousin at first.
Japanese: 義信は初め父の従兄弟に当たる源義宗（八幡太郎義家の長男）の猶子となったと言われている。
English: However, since Yoshimune seemed to die until around 1106, it can not be thought that Yoshinobu, who was born 37 years after his death, became his adopted son.
Japanese: しかし、義宗は嘉承元年（1106年）頃までには死去したと考えられるため、その37年後に生まれた義信がその猶子なったとは理論上は考えられない。
English: In addition, in another theory Yoshinobu who became an adopted son of Yoshimune was not this Yoshinobu but MINAMOTO no Yoshinobu, who was the first son of MINAMOTO no Yoshichika, Yoshimune's brother, and this is more rational with respect to their ages.
Japanese: また、義宗の猶子となった義信は、この義信ではなく、義宗の弟源義親の長男の源義信であるとする説もあり、年齢的にはこちらのほうが辻褄が合う。
English: Therefore, it is pointed out that the legend about Tsushima Taro Yoshinobu being an adopted son of Yoshimune could have been transmitted incorrectly as the legend of HIRAGA Shiro Yoshinobu.
Japanese: このため、対馬太郎義信が義宗の猶子であったという伝承が、平賀四郎義信の伝承として誤って伝わった可能性も指摘されている。
English: Chojiro (unknown-1589) was a leading ceramist during the Azuchi-Momoyama period.

Japanese: 父は明出身の工人・あめや（「飴屋」「飴八」「阿米也」）、母は「比丘尼」とされる。
English: It is still not altogether clear about his birth except that he is thought to be from quite a low class.
Japanese: しかし、出自については、かなり身分の低い出身ではないか、と推測される以外は未だに不明な点が多い。
English: His oldest work that still exists is Nisai shishizo (an image of a lion in two colors, owned by The Raku Museum) inscribed with 'Spring in 1574 by order of the emperor, created by Chojiro'.
Japanese: 現存中最も古い作品は、「天正二年春　寵命　長次良造之」という彫の入った二彩獅子像（樂美術館蔵）である。
English: According to the research in 2005 by 15th Kichizaemon and others, a part of this work was first applied with Ryokuyu (green glaze) or covered with Hakudei (white clay) for Keshogake (cover the pottery with white clay to show better coloring of glaze), then Nisaiyu (two colored glaze) or Sansaiyu (three colored glaze) was applied.
Japanese: 2005年の十五代・吉左衛門らの調査の結果、一部に緑釉や化粧掛けの白泥が施された上に二彩釉や三彩釉がかけられた。
English: While there is an opinion that this work is a tomebutagawara (a kind of roof tile), there is also an opposing view because of the shape of its bottom, and it remains inconclusive.
Japanese: なお、この作品については留蓋瓦とする意見があるが、底部形状から否定する見方もあり結論が出ていない。

Japanese: 田中宗慶はその苗字から千利休の縁戚ではないかと想定され、常に利休の側にいた事が知られる。
English: From a record in existing Chakaiki (records of tea parties), it was assumed that Chojiro met SEN no Rikyu through Sokei during the Tensho era.
Japanese: 現存する茶会記の記録内容から、天正年間に宗慶を介して千利休と知り合ったと推定される。
English: His specific method of hand forming without the use of a potter's wheel was acknowledged by Rikyu who liked works with deformation more than fine Chinese tea bowls which were the mainstream domestic chakai (tea party) until that time.
Japanese: それまで国内の茶会で主流であった精緻な中国製の茶陶よりも歪みのある作品を好む利休によって、ろくろを使わず手びねりで成形を行なう独自の工法が認められた。
