Japanese: 新見錦（にいみにしき、天保7年(1836年)-文久3年9月13日(旧暦)(1863年10月25日)？）。
English: When he borrowed money from Gohe HIRANOYA in Osaka to make Shinsengumi's haori (Japanese half-coat), he signed his name as 親見錦 (Shinmi SHINMI) as a leader in apposition with Kondo and Sesizawa.
Japanese: 新選組の羽織を作るために大坂の平野屋五兵衛から金子を借りた時に、隊長として近藤、芹沢と同格で「親見錦」と署名した。
English: In March, 1863, Hachiro KIYOKAWA became a member of Roshigumi which was organized to protect Iemochi TOKUGAWA, the seii taishogun (great general) when Iemochi went to Kyoto by a suggestion.
Japanese: 文久3年（1863年）2月、清河八郎が建策により上洛する征夷大将軍徳川家茂の警護のために組織された浪士組に加盟。
English: Also Kamo SERIZAWA from Mito and Isami KONDO from Edo Shieikan (a training hall of swordplay) of Tennenrishin-ryu shool, who organized Shinsengumi later, became the members.
Japanese: 後に新選組を結成する水戸の芹沢鴨や江戸・試衛館（天然理心流）の近藤勇も加盟している。
English: The previous history of Niimi is unclear, but considering the fact that he was appointed the head of a group, it is assumed that he was well-known.
Japanese: 新見の前歴は詳らかでないが、幹部の小頭に任じられていたことから名が知られた存在ではあったと考えられる。
English: It seems that Niimi was an old comrade of Kamo SERIZAWA, the head of the Rokubangumi (the sixth group) who were also from Mito, but it is unknown how they were related to each other.
Japanese: 同じ水戸出身で六番組小頭の芹沢鴨のかねてからの同志とされるが、芹沢との具体的な関係は不明である。
English: Five disciples of the Tama group of Tennenrishin-ryu including Genzaburo INOUE, Rintaro OKITA (brother-in-law of Soji OKITA) and others were assigned to Niimi in his group (those members didn't participate in Shinsengumi except Inoue).
Japanese: 新見の組下には井上源三郎、沖田林太郎（沖田総司の義兄）など5人の多摩系の天然理心流門人が配属された（井上以外は新選組には不参加）。
English: Serizawa stayed at the residence of Gennojo YAGI with Kondo and according to the recollection of the son of the Yagi family Tamesaburo YAGI, Niimi and Kasuya spent a lot of time at the house of Yagi family where Serizawa stayed.
Japanese: 芹沢は近藤とともに八木源之丞邸に宿泊しており、八木家の子息だった八木為三郎の回顧によれば、新見と粕谷は芹沢のいる八木家に入り浸っていたという。
English: On April 14, after Kiyokawa revealed his true intention to expel foreigners and go back to Edo, Serizawa and Kondo expressed their intention to stay in Kyoto and left the group.
Japanese: 27日に清河が攘夷の真意を明かして江戸帰還を宣言すると、芹沢、近藤とともに京都残留を表明して離脱。
English: Those who left the group were 5 Mito roshis (masterless samurai) including Serizawa, Niimi and 8 disciples of Shieikan including Kondo, Toshizo HIJIKATA, Keisuke YAMANAMI, Soji OKITA and also some other people including Yoshio TONOUCHI, Yuzan NEGISHI, Shingoro KASUYA joined them, but they had an internal conflict soon, by which Tonouchi, Negishi, Kasuya and others were murdered or left the group.
Japanese: 離脱組は芹沢、新見ら5人の水戸系浪士と近藤、土方歳三、山南敬助、沖田総司ら8人の試衛館門人で、これに殿内義雄、根岸友山、粕谷新五郎らが加わるがすぐに内部抗争が起きて殿内、根岸、粕谷らは謀殺・脱退した。
English: Consequently, those roshis were divided into two groups – the Mitoha group including Serizawa and Niimi, and the Shieikanha group including Hijikata.
Japanese: 必然的には浪士たちは芹沢、新見ら水戸派と近藤、土方ら試衛館派に大別された。
English: They submitted a petition to the lord of Aizu clan, Katamori MATSUDAIRA who was the Kyoto shugoshoku (Military governor of Kyoto), by which the Aizu clan had the custody of them and they took a name Mibu-Roshigumi (Mibu masterless warriors group).
Japanese: 浪士たちは京都守護職の会津藩主松平容保に嘆願書を提出して、会津藩御預かりとなり壬生浪士組を名乗る。
English: In the note which they wrote when they borrowed 100 ryo (currency unit) from a merchant in Osaka City (by force) in May, there are names of Niimi, Serizawa and Kondo.
Japanese: 4月に大阪市の商人から100両借りた（押し借り）したときの添書きでは新見、芹沢、近藤の名前が並んでいる。
English: When the group was reorganized in July due to the increasing number of members, Niimi was demoted from the leader to the vice commander.
Japanese: 隊士が増えて6月に編成変えが行われた時には、新見は局長から副長に降格されている。
English: Though it seemed that Niimi was Serizawa's right arm acting with him together, Niimi didn't participate in the group at the Osaka wrestlers brawl incident and the Yamatoya fire attack incident which Serizawa caused, therefore it is unknown how close they were to each other who were both the senior leaders and from Mito, and also how they acted actually as the leaders of Mibu-Roshigumi.
Japanese: 新見は芹沢と行動を共にする腹心と言われるが、芹沢が引き起こした大坂力士乱闘事件や大和屋焼き討ち事件には参加しておらず、同じ水戸出身の最高幹部だが芹沢とどの程度の親密な関係だったか、また壬生浪士組幹部としての行動の実態はよく分らない。
English: Tamesaburo YAGI who remembered Serizawa and Kondo well, didn't remember Niimi at all and said that Niimi disappeared without his noticing it.
Japanese: 芹沢や近藤のことをよく覚えていた八木為三郎も新見についてはまるきり覚えていない、いつの間にかいなくなったと述べている。
English: Therefore it is sometimes considered that Niimi was less represented, but seeing the record that he neglected his duties for the group, it is assumed that he rarely appeared at Yagi family's house as the headquarters, and did not meet Tamesaburo.
Japanese: そのため影の薄い男だったと言われることもあるが、隊務を怠っていたという記録があり、ほとんど屯所の八木家にいなくて為三郎と顔を合わせることもなかったのだろう。
English: According to "Roshi Bunkyu Hokokukiji" written by Shinpachi NAGAKURA who was one of the Shinsengumi leaders, Niimi often exhibited disorderly behaviors and broke laws, not listening to convictions of Serizawa and Kondo.
Japanese: 新選組幹部の永倉新八が書き残した『浪士文久報国記事』によると新見は乱暴が甚だしく、法令を犯して芹沢、近藤の説得にも耳を貸さなかったという。
English: Also according to "Shinsen-gumi Shimatsuki" written by Kan SHIMOZAWA, Niimie gave himself over to a life of debauchery and neglected his duties and repeatedly extorted money from citizens in the name of corps' expense.
Japanese: 子母澤寛の『新選組始末記』によっても新見は遊蕩に耽って隊務を怠り、隊費と称して民家から強請り（ねだり）を繰り返していたという。
English: According to "Shinsen-gumi Shimatsuki," a lot of his evil deeds were disclosed and he was pressed to commit seppuku or accept decapitation according to the law, and finally he was forced to commit seppuku at fancy Japanese-style restaurant Yama no O in Gion Shinchi where he enjoyed himself.
Japanese: 『新選組始末記』によると悪行の数々を握られて切腹せねば法度に照らして斬首すると詰め寄られ、遊蕩先の祇園新地の料亭山緒でついに切腹させられたという。
English: According to "Roshi Bunkyu Hokokukiji," his seppuku was decided by discussion of all concerned, but again he roughed up Tsunero YOSHINARI, a ronin(masterless samurai)from Mito at a lodging in Sanjo Kiyamachi, therefore he was forced to commit seppuku by the assistance of Nanigashi UMEZU, however the truth is unknown.
Japanese: 『浪士文久報国記事』によれば一同相談のうえ切腹と決まったが、またも三条木屋町の旅宿で水戸浪人吉成常郎に乱暴を働いたため梅津某の介錯で切腹させられたことになっており、真相はよく分からない。
English: According to "Roshi Bunkyu Hokokukiji," it is dated on August 14, 15, which is also unclear.
Japanese: 日付も『浪士文久報国記事』では8月14,15日となっており、判然としない。
English: There is also a theory that he was forced to commit seppuku, not just because of his disorderly behaviours, but because of the close relation with the sonnojoi ha (supporters of the doctrine of restoring the emperor and expelling the barbarians) such as Mito Domain, Choshu Domain and Tosa Domain, because Niimi is enshrined in Kyoto Reizan Gokoku-jinja Shrine which was built to enshrine the tobakuha (anti-Bakufu, crushing-the-Bakufu faction) sonnojoi patriots in the Maiji period, though shinsengumi was the enemy of the tobakuha and Niimi was the leader.
Japanese: 明治になって倒幕派尊王攘夷志士を祀るためつくられた霊山護国神社に倒幕派の敵だったはずの新選組幹部である新見が祀られていることから、切腹は単純な乱暴狼藉ではなく水戸や長州藩、土佐藩などの尊王攘夷派との親密な関係があったからではないかという説もある。
English: On October 28, only three days after Niimi's death, Serizawa and Goro HIRAYAMA from the Mitoha group were attacked and murdered by the Shieikanha group, by which the Mitoha group of Shinsengumi was destroyed.
Japanese: 新見の死の僅か3日後の9月16日に芹沢と水戸派の平山五郎が試衛館派に襲撃・暗殺されており、新選組の水戸派は壊滅した。
English: There is a theory that a member of Shinsengumi Iori TANAKA and Nishiki NIIMI was the same person, but it is unclear.
Japanese: 新選組隊士・田中伊織と新見錦を同一人物とする説もあるが、定かではない。
English: Oichi no Kata (1547 ? - June 14, 1583) was a woman of the Sengoku ｐeriod (Period of Warring States).
Japanese: お市の方（おいちのかた、天文(元号)16年（1547年）？-天正11年4月24日(旧暦)（1583年6月14日））は戦国時代(日本)の女性。
English: Her children included Yodo-dono (concubine of Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI = Yodo-dono), Joko-in (legal wife of Takatsugu KYOGOKU) and Sugen-in (legal wife of Hidetada TOKUGAWA).
Japanese: 子に淀殿（豊臣秀吉側室＝淀殿）・常高院（京極高次正室）・崇源院（徳川秀忠正室）がいる。
English: Additionally, the name "Hideko" appears in the Oda family tree recorded in 'Koko Ruisan'.
Japanese: また、『好古類纂』収録の織田家系譜には「秀子」という名が記されている。
English: In 1567, she was forced for political reasons to marry Nagamasa ASAI of Omi Province (present Shiga Prefecture) by the order of Nobunaga, her elder brother; the marriage concluded an alliance with the Asai family for the Oda family.
Japanese: 永禄10年（1567年）に兄・信長の命により近江（現在の滋賀県）の浅井長政と政略結婚し織田家と浅井家は同盟を結ぶ。
English: Friendly relations between the Asai family and the Oda family were severed in 1570, due to Nobunaga's attack on Yoshikage ASAKURA (who was closely related to the Asai clan) in Echizen Province (present Fukui Prefecture).
Japanese: 元亀元年（1570年）、信長が浅井氏と関係の深い越前国（福井県）の朝倉義景を攻めたため、浅井家と織田家の友好関係は断絶した。
English: After Yoshikage's defeat in the Battle of Anegawa, Odani-jo Castle fell in 1573; Nagamasa and Hisamasa ASAI (Nagamasa's father) were defeated by Nobunaga and killed themselves.
Japanese: 義景が姉川の戦いで敗北した後、天正元年（1573年）に小谷城が陥落し、夫・長政、長政の父・浅井久政も信長に敗れ自害した。
English: While Ichi and her daughters (Yodo-dono, Joko-in and Sugen-in) were taken in by the Oda family, her eldest son, Manpukumaru ASAI, was captured and killed and her second son, Manjumaru ASAI, was forced into the priesthood.
Japanese: 市は3人の娘（淀殿、常高院、崇源院）とともに織田家に引き取られるが、長男の浅井万福丸は捕われて殺害され、次男の浅井万寿丸は出家させられる。
English: After that, she is said to have lived in peace in Kiyosu-jo Castle with her three daughters for more than nine years, under the patronage of her older brother Nobunaga and Nobukane ODA.
Japanese: その後は清洲城にて兄の信長、織田信包の庇護を受け、三姉妹とともに九年余りを平穏に過ごしたという。
English: Nobunaga is said to have received Ichi and her children very warmly at the time, to have been concerned for Ichi and her three daughters, and to have let them live in luxury.
Japanese: このときの信長の市親子に対する待遇はたいへん厚く、市や三姉妹のことを気にかけ、贅沢をさせていたという。
English: Nobukane ODA is also said to have personally protected Ichi and her three daughters and fostered his nieces, saying, 'It is unbearable to think of the extinction of the Asai family line.'
Japanese: 信包も、「浅井家の血が絶えるのはしのびない」と言い、市や三姉妹を手元で保護し、姪たちを養育したという。
English: Although the remarriage was understood to have been mediated by Nobutaka ODA, a theory that it was through Hideyoshi HASHIBA has become influential in recent years, due to a letter suggesting it was through Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI.
Japanese: 織田信孝の仲介によるとされて来たが、近年は、豊臣秀吉の仲介を伺わせる書状から、羽柴秀吉の仲介であった説が有力となっている。
English: In the following year, 1583, her husband Katsuie confronted Hideyoshi HASHIBA and was defeated in the Battle of Shizugatake; as a result, Ichi later killed herself with Katsuie in Kitanosho-jo Castle in Echizen Province.
Japanese: 翌・天正11年（1583年）、夫の勝家が羽柴秀吉と対立して賤ヶ岳の戦いで敗れ、その後勝家と共に越前北ノ庄城内で自害した。

Japanese: 小谷城跡：滋賀県長浜市（旧浅井町）と湖北町にまたがる小谷山山頂に旧跡あり。
English: There remains a portrait of her (owned by Jimyo-in Temple on Mt. Koya) in which she wears a kimono in a peculiar fashion, without 'Ohashori' (tucking up the bottom of a kimono); however, in those days, kimono for women were designed to 'Tsuitake' (the length of one's body), which made it common not to have 'Ohashori'.
Japanese: 着物の「おはしょり」を作らない独特の着付け方をした肖像画（高野山　持明院蔵）が伝えられている（但し、この時代の着物は女性でも「対丈」に作られるため「おはしょり」がないのが普通である）。
English: Nobunaga is even said to have mentioned that "If Ichi had been a man, she would have been a good Busho (Japanese military commander)."
Japanese: 信長は「市が男だったなら、良き武将となったであろう」とまで述べたと言われている。
English: Furthermore, Ichi had an instinctive dislike of Hideyoshi; he urged Ichi to escape from the castle before Katsuie killed himself, but Ichi is said to have rejected this and shared Katsuie's fate.
Japanese: なお、市は秀吉を毛嫌いしており、勝家が自害するときに城から脱出するように勧めたが、市は受け入れずに勝家と運命を共にしたと言われている。
English: While she avoided Hideyoshi even at the risk of death, Hideyoshi is thought to have felt passionate affection for her; he tried to somehow save the lives of both mother and children during both the surrender of the Odani-jo Castle and the surrender of the castle in Shizugatake.
Japanese: 死を賭してまで秀吉を避けた理由としては、ただし、秀吉は彼女に熱烈な好意を抱いていたとされ、小谷落城の際も賤ヶ岳落城の際にも母子の生命を何とか救おうとしていた。
English: Furthermore, Hideyoshi is said to have taken Chacha (Yodo-dono) as a concubine because, of her three sisters, Chacha most closely resembled Ichi.
Japanese: また後年茶々（淀殿）を側室に迎えたのも、三姉妹の中で彼女が一番市に似ていたから、と言われている。
English: It is known there is an anecdote about her having informed Nobunaga of a crisis (an attack from both sides) by giving him a 'bag of azuki beans' sealed on both sides; however, because it is well-known that she lived in harmony with her husband and was considered to have been completely on the side of the Asai family, as was the common practice in those day, this is strongly suspected of being an old wives' tale.
Japanese: 袋の両端を縛った「小豆袋」で信長に危機（挟み撃ち）を伝えた逸話などが知られるが、俗説である疑いが強い（彼女が夫と仲睦まじかったのは有名であり、当時の通例を考えても、完全に浅井側の人間であったとされる）。
English: The Oda family was known for its good looks and the beauty of Ichi and her elder (or possibly younger) sister, Oinu no kata, was especially famous.
Japanese: 織田家は美男美女の家系で知られるが中でも市やその姉（または妹）、お犬の方の美しさは有名である。

Japanese: 三人の娘たちの行く末を心配していた市は、庇護を受ける羽柴秀吉に書状を送るなど母としての娘たちに対する深い愛情が伺える。
English: In view of the fact that her elder brothers Nobunaga and Nobukane treated Ichi with much more warmth than they did other sisters, a recent viewpoint claims that she was a younger sister with the same mother, of Nobunaga and Nobukane, and that her mother was Dota-gozen.
Japanese: 兄信長や信包の市に対する待遇が姉妹の中ではたいへん厚かったことから、最近では信長、信包の同腹の妹であるとされ母は土田御前であるという見方もある。
English: As this is the case, Nobunaga, Nobuyuki ODA, Nobukane and Hidetaka ODA are considered to have been her brothers with the same mother.
Japanese: このため市の同腹の兄弟とされるのは信長、織田信行、信包、織田秀孝であるとされる。
English: Incidentally, in most cases, Nobunaga used adopted daughters for political reasons, to marry into Daimyo (Japanese feudal lord) families: rather than bringing them up, he adopted girls in form only and gave these adopted daughters away in marriage.
Japanese: 因みに、信長は大名間の政略婚にはほとんど養女を用いていた（育てた訳ではなく、形式上養女にして送り出す形）。
English: Of his real sisters and daughters, except for Ichi, only Tokuhime married into another province by marrying Nobuyasu MATSUDAIRA; all others married into the families of his retainers or Kuge (court nobles).
Japanese: 実の妹や娘で他国に嫁いだのは、この市を除けば松平信康に嫁いだ徳姫のみであり、それ以外は全て家臣か公家との縁組だった。

Japanese: 戦後、その戦功によって伯耆国米子藩17万5,000石および国持大名の格式を与えられたが、慶長14年（1609年）に中村一忠は急死。
English: Although a concubine (Bairi) of Icchu gave birth to a son (Kazukiyo NAKAMURA), he was not recognized as an heir, in view of the time when a Matsugo yoshi (adopted as a son on one's deathbed) was not accepted and also in view of the fact that he was not received in audience by Shogun and not obtained Shogun's acknowledgment.

English: According to "History of Yonago City," several roots of the Nakamura clan (theories including descendants of the Minamoto clan and the Taira clan) contain many uncertain elements and can't be regarded as historical facts, however, the family tree from Kazuuji, Icchu's father and after is highly reliable.
Japanese: 『米子市史』には、数種類ある中村氏にみられるルーツ(源氏末裔、平氏末裔説等)は不確定的要素が多く、歴史的事実とみなすことはできないが、一忠の父・一氏以降の系譜は信頼性が高いとしている。
