English: Having achieved his long desired objective, Yoshitsune received an imperial envoy dispatched by the Cloistered Emperor to glorify his victory, after which he made a triumphal return to Kyoto on April 24 (old old lunar calendar); it was here that, as the leading figure in the Battle of Dannoura (for which the strategy had been more successful than that of the Battle of Ichinotani and the Battle of Yashima), he embraced the mirror Yata no Kagami and the jewel Yasaka no Magatama (two of the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan), which had been recovered from the Taira family.

English: On April 21 (old lunar calendar), Yoritomo received a message from Kagetoki KAJIWARA, who once assisted Yoshitsune as Saburai-dokoro no Shoshi/ Tsukasa (management officer of the Samurai station) when Yoshitsune was in the pursuit of the Taira clan, informing that 'Yoshitsune indulged in trumpeting that the pursuit was achieved exclusively owing to his merit.'
Japanese: また4月21日_(旧暦)、平氏追討で侍所所司として義経の補佐を務めた梶原景時から、「義経はしきりに追討の功を自身一人の物としている」と記した書状が頼朝に届いた。
English: On the other hand, Yoshitsune did not take the Yoritomo's order very seriously, and planned to triumphantly return to Kamakura, and started on May 7 (old lunar calendar) from Kyoto, escorting the father and son, TAIRA no Munemori and TAIRA no Kiyomune, who were caught at Dannoura.
Japanese: 一方、義経は、先の頼朝の命令を重視せず、壇ノ浦で捕らえた平宗盛・平清宗父子を護送して、5月7日_(旧暦)京を立ち、鎌倉に凱旋しようとした。
English: However, Yoritomo, who was distrustful of Yoshitsune, did not allow him to enter Kamakura, but only let TAIRA no Munemori and his son enter.
Japanese: しかし義経に不信を抱く頼朝は鎌倉入りを許さず、宗盛父子のみを鎌倉に入れた。
English: At that time, Yoshitsune was detained at Manpuku-ji Temple at Yamauchi no sho manor, Koshigoe (present day Kamakura City) in the suburbs of Kamakura.
Japanese: このとき、鎌倉郊外の山内荘腰越（現鎌倉市）満福寺に義経は留め置かれた。
English: On May 24 (old lunar calendar), Yoshitsune handed a message to OE no Hiromoto, Yoritomo's close confidant, that he had no intention of an uprising, and this message is well known to date as Koshigoe-jo (Message of Koshigoe).
Japanese: 5月24日_(旧暦)兄頼朝に対し自分が叛意のないことを示し頼朝の側近大江広元に託した書状が有名な腰越状である。
English: According to "Azuma Kagami," Yoshitsune invoked the wrath of Yoritomo because he accepted the title from the court without asking for Yoritomo's previous permission and he acted arbitrarily without obeying the instructions of Kagetoki KAJIWARA, who was sent to Yoshitsune by Yoritomo as the military supervisor for the pursuit of the Taira clan.
Japanese: 義経が頼朝の怒りを買った原因は、『吾妻鏡』によると許可なく官位を受けたことのほか、平氏追討にあたって軍監として頼朝に使わされていた梶原景時の意見を聞かず、独断専行で事を進めたこと。
English: In addition, Yoshitsune's behavior was excessively dogmatic as follows: after the Battle of Dannoura he arbitrarily proceeded to Kyushu, although the territory was controlled by Noriyori, and he took Noriyori's duties; he invoked resentment of the warriors by not only reproaching meticulously his subordinate warriors from Togoku (eastern Japan) on their errors without showing any tolerance, but also executed many of them without Yoritomo's consent.
Japanese: また、壇ノ浦の合戦後に義経が範頼の管轄である九州へ越権行為をして仕事を奪い、配下の東国武士達に対してもわずかな過ちでも見逃さずこれを咎め立てするばかりか、頼朝を通さず勝手に成敗し武士達の恨みを買うなど、自専の振る舞いが目立った事によるとしている。
English: Yoshitsune's remarkable military contributions in defeating the Taira clan were mainly achieved with the participation of the Saigoku (western Japan) warriors, and this lead to a deprivation of Togoku (eastern Japan) warriors' opportunities to render distinguished services, and consequently, provoked the discontent of the lower-ranking vassals (gokenin) of eastern Japan.
Japanese: 主に西国武士を率いて平氏を滅亡させた義経の多大な戦功は、恩賞を求めて頼朝に従っている東国武士達の戦功の機会を奪う結果になり、鎌倉政権の基盤となる東国御家人達の不満を噴出させた。
English: Especially, Yoshitsune's having received the title from the court without asking for his master's permission was deemed serious, because this act threatened the existing base of Yoritomo, who was not yet in the position to grant titles.
Japanese: 特に前者の許可無く官位を受けたことは重大で、まだ官位を与えることが出来る地位に無い頼朝の存在を根本から揺るがすものだった。
English: Yoshitsune's precipitous attack at Dannoura lead Emperor Antoku and TAIRA no Tokiko to commit suicide and the disappearance of Hoken (treasured sword), which could have been a good instrument to use for negotiating with the Imperial court, and as a result, destroyed the post-war initiative that Yoritomo had conceived.
Japanese: また義経の性急な壇ノ浦での攻撃で、安徳天皇や平時子を自殺に追い込み、朝廷との取引材料と成り得た宝剣を紛失した事は頼朝の戦後構想を破壊するものであった。
English: Moreover, as Yoshitsune's military tactics and reputation elevated the Cloistered Emperor's credibility, the Cloistered Emperor attracted the warriors, and this fact became a threat for Yoritomo who was trying to establish a military government.
Japanese: そして義経の兵略と声望が法皇の信用を高め、武士達の人心を集める事は、武家政権の確立を目指す頼朝にとって脅威となるものであった。
English: Soon after entering Kyoto, Yoshitsune took as his spouse a daughter of TAIRA no Tokitada, who was once served as a substitute of In no Miumaya no Tsukasa, a military pillar to support the Taira clan's cloistered government and later was a captive as a member of the Taira family.
Japanese: 義経は入京直後、かつて平氏が院政の軍事的支柱として独占してきた院御厩司に補任され、平家の捕虜である平時忠の娘を娶った。
English: It was inadmissible for Yoritomo that Yoshitsune tried to succeed the rank which traditionally the Taira clan had been enjoying, or Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa tried to hand down to Yoshitsune.
Japanese: かつての平氏の伝統的地位を、義経が継承しようとした、あるいは後白河院が継承させようとした動きは、頼朝が容認出来るものではなかったのである。
English: As a result, Yoshitsune was not allowed to enter Kamakura, and on June 9 (old lunar calendar), when Yoritomo ordered to escort Munemori and his son, and TAIRA no Shigehira back to Kyoto, Yoshitsune blamed Yoritomo on this cruel treatment and boldly said, 'Those who are not satisfied serving in Kanto, come and join Yoshitsune's side.'
Japanese: 結局義経は鎌倉へ入る事を許されず、6月9日_(旧暦)に頼朝が義経に対し宗盛父子と平重衡を伴わせ帰洛を命じると、義経は頼朝を深く恨み、「関東に於いて怨みを成す輩は、義経に属くべき」と言い放った。
English: Yoshitsune executed Munemori and decapitated his son in Omi Province and sent Shigehira to Todai-ji Temple, to which Shigehira himself once set fire to in the battle.
Japanese: 義経は近江国で宗盛父子を斬首し、重衡を重衡自身が焼き討ちにした東大寺へ送った。
English: In September, Yoritomo sent Kagetoki KAJIWARA's legitimate son, Kagesue KAJIWARA, with a hidden mission to observe the movement of Yoshitsune, who had returned to Kyoto and was staying in his residence at Rokujo-Horikawa in Kyoto, and at the same time Yoritomo requested that Yoshitsune expel his uncle MINAMOTO no Yukiie, who once followed Yoshinaka.
Japanese: 一方京に戻った義経に、頼朝は9月に入り京の六条堀川の屋敷にいる義経の様子を探るべく梶原景時の嫡男梶原景季を遣わし、かつて義仲に従った叔父源行家追討を要請した。
English: Weary-looking Yoshitsune presented himself before Yoritomo and refused his request with the pretext that he himself and Yukiie belonged to the same Genji clan.
Japanese: 義経は憔悴した体であらわれ、自身の病と行家が同じ源氏であることを理由に断った。
English: In October, judging that Yoshitsune was playing sick and was on the same side as Minamoto no Yukiie, Yoritomo decided to expel Yoshitsune and sent his retainer Masatoshi TOSANOBO to Kyoto.
Japanese: 10月、義経の病が仮病であり、すでに源行家と同心していると判断した頼朝は義経討伐を決め、家人土佐坊昌俊を京へ送った。
English: On October 17 (old lunar calendar), Tosanobo and more than 60 warriors on horseback attacked the residence of Yoshitsune (Horikawa Night Raid) in Kyoto, however, Yukiie joined the fight when he saw that Yoshitsune himself was fighting back outside the gate of his residence, and finally they defeated the assailants.
Japanese: 10月17日_(旧暦)、土佐坊ら六十余騎が京の義経邸を襲った（堀川夜討）が、自ら門戸を飛び出してきて応戦する義経に行家が加わり、合戦は襲撃側の敗北に終わった。
English: After Yoshitsune knew that the attack was ordered by Yoritomo through the interrogation of Masatoshi, who was captured in combat, he publicly executed Masatoshi, and in Kyoto stood in rebellion to defeat Yoritomo with his uncle MINAMOTO no Yukiie, who was also opposing Yoritomo.
Japanese: 義経は、捕らえた昌俊からこの襲撃が頼朝の命であることを聞き出すと、これを獄門し同じく頼朝と対立していた叔父の源行家と共に京で頼朝打倒の旗を挙げた。
English: They paid a courtesy visit to the Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa once again to acquire Inzen (a decree from the Cloistered Emperor) to expel Yoritomo, however, since Yoritomo celebrated the Buddhist memorial service for his father, Yoshitomo, on 24th, inviting his subordinate commanders and warriors, there were few parties who were willing to join Yoshitsune's side.
Japanese: 彼らは後白河法皇に再び奏上して頼朝追討の院宣を得たが、頼朝が父、義朝供養の法要を24日営み、家臣を集めたこともあり賛同する勢力は少なかった。
English: Moreover, when the Cloistered Emperor issued Inzen (the decree) to expel Yoshitsune, his situation had become more difficult.
Japanese: さらに後、法皇が今度は義経追討の院宣を出したことから一層窮地に陥った。
English: On the 29th, when Yoritomo launched the operation to expel Yoshitsune, leading his army by himself, Yoshitsune intended to go to Kyushu in order to recover his forces staying in Saigoku (western Japan).
Japanese: 29日に頼朝が軍を率いて義経追討に向かうと、義経は西国で体制を立て直すため九州行きを図った。

Japanese: 11月1日_(旧暦)に頼朝が駿河国黄瀬川に達すると、11月3日_(旧暦)義経らは西国九州の緒方惟栄を頼り、300騎を率いて京を落ちた。
English: On November 6, Yoshitsune's troops tried to put out to sea toward Kyushu from Daimotsuura in Settsu Province (present-day Amagasaki City Hyogo Prefecture) but the ships were wrecked in a rainstorm and they were dispersed, and rushed back to Settsu.

Japanese: 一方11月11日_(旧暦)、義経と行家を捕らえよとの院宣が諸国に下された。
English: Moreover, to accelerate the arrest of Yoshitsune and his men, Yoritomo invited Tokimasa HOJO to the Capital to negotiate, and requested him to set up Shugo and Jito (military governors and estate stewards) all over Japan, which Tokimasa finally accepted.
Japanese: さらに頼朝は、義経らの追捕のためとして、諸国への守護と地頭の設置を求め、入洛させた北条時政の交渉の末、設置を認めさせた。

Japanese: 逃れた義経は反鎌倉の貴族、寺院勢力に匿われ京都周辺に潜伏するが、翌年の文治2年（1186年）5月に和泉国で叔父・行家が鎌倉方に討ち取られ、各地に潜伏していた郎党達も次々と発見され殺害される。

Japanese: 院や貴族が義経を逃がしている事を疑う頼朝は、同年11月に「京都側が義経に味方するならば大軍を送る」と恫喝している。
English: According to an article of February 10, 1187 in the "Azuma Kagami," it is reported that Yoshitsune escaped a blockade of pursuers, and went to Oshu through Ise and Mino Provinces to seek exile in Hiraizumi with his official wife and children.
Japanese: 『吾妻鏡』文治3年（1187年）2月10日_(旧暦)の記録によると、義経は追捕の網をかいくぐり、伊勢・美濃国を経て奥州へ向かい、正妻と子らを伴って平泉に身を寄せた。
English: As FUJIWARA no Hidehira was worried about the extending influence of Yoritomo, who had already dominated the Kanto region and the area to the west, he tried to back up Yoshitsune in order to compete against the Kamakura side, however he died of illness on October 29, 1187 (old lunar calendar).
