Japanese: 同年9月2日夜半、荒木村重は5,6名の側近を引き連れ、夜陰にまぎれて船で猪名川を下って、息子荒木村次にいる尼崎城（大物城）へ移っていった。

He made his attendant, Sukesaburo INUI carry a chatsubo (jar for tea leaves) of inherited for generations on his back and he was accompanies by a girl, who was called Ako and served always around him."
Japanese: この時の様子を『陰徳太平記』では、"忍び有岡の城を出立づ。共に乾助三郎に重代相伝の葉茶壺を負はせ、阿古とて、常に膝下に召使ひし女を召具しけり"としている。
English: "Sengoku no Bushotachi" (literally, Commanders in Sengoku Period) gave an explanation that this person called 'Ako' could be Murashige's concubine who was a female warrior who guarded Murashige's security.
Japanese: 『戦国の武将たち』によると、この「阿古」なる人物は荒木村重の側室で身辺を警護する女武者ではなかったかと解説している。
English: Fujitaka HOSOKAWA, who had believed that 'Murashige had an intention to raise rebellion,' criticized Murashige ARAKI, who suddenly abandoned the castle and family and did a moonlight flit with tea utensils, by composing a tanka meaning 'Although Araki drew a bow against his lord, but a nock was out of order, he could not stay in Arioka-jo Castle.'
Japanese: また「村重に反意あり」としていた細川藤孝は、「君に引く荒木ぞ弓の筈ちがい、居るにいられぬ有岡の城」という歌を詠んで、突然城と家族を捨て茶道具と共に夜逃げした荒木村重を皮肉った。
English: Certain views understood that he fled holding his life dear, but "Intoku Taiheiki" understood as follows:
Japanese: 絶望的な戦いに命が惜しくなって逃げ出してしまったという解釈もあるが、『陰徳太平記』によると、下記のように記している。
English: "Araki's senior retainers gathered together and tried to convince Murashige that, judging from the situations in the castle, hope for obtaining reinforcement troops from the Mori clan became unbelievable and, since Murashige had wasted time in vain, provisions ran low.
Japanese: "荒木家老の者共さし寄りて村重を諫めて云く、つらつら城中の形勢を見るに、毛利家の援兵も今は頼み少なく、徒らに月日を送り給う故、兵糧甚だ乏しく成り候。
English: As we cannot further continue such situations, you, the lord, go out to Amagasaki and negotiate with commanders of Chugoku Province and saigoku (western part of Japan, especially Kyushu, but ranging as far east as Kinki), they would send reinforcement troops.
Japanese: 此上し別に行も候はじ、只早く大将尼崎へ御出有りて、中国・西国の諸将を語らはれ候はば、定めて援兵を出さるべきかにて候。
English: They recommended Murashige with one voice that he should, at first, go out of the castle secretly and concoct a resourceful strategy.
Japanese: 先ず一旦城中を忍びて御出ありて、随分御智謀をめぐらされ候へと、衆口一舌に勧めけり。
English: Murashige heard this and thought that the opinion was reasonable and decided to go out of the castle secretly and concoct a resourceful strategy for the sake of his family and soldiers."
Japanese: 村重是を聞きて、実に是もさる事也、妻子諸軍士共のためなれば、いかにもして忍び出で謀ほめぐらすべき候。"
English: It is explained that the castellan might have judged that, because, same as in the case of Miki-jo Castle, the Mori clan promised to send reinforcement troops and supplied provisions through Hanakuma-jo Castle and Amagasaki-jo Castle, but no reinforcement troops did come even after one year, it was impossible to maintain if the situation remained as it was and, because sending subordinates as emissaries did not bring any result, the castellan decided to visit Aki Province by himself and directly negotiate with the Mori clan.
Japanese: 三木合戦もそうであったが、毛利氏は援軍の約束しながら、花隈城や尼崎城を通じて兵糧は補給していたが、1年経っても援兵はこず、このままでは城を持ちこたえるのは不可能と判断し、家臣を使者としても効果は無く、城主自ら安芸国に出向き毛利氏と直接交渉しようとしたのではないかと説明している。
English: "Sengoku no Bushotachi" describes that 'tea utensils could be understood as calling presents to Mori.'
Japanese: 『戦国の武将たち』では「茶道具は毛利への手土産とみることができる」としている。
English: Murashige ARAKI's escape was kept secret for a while, but it was found by a spy of Nobunaga ODA and, on October 12, 1579, a half of the troops around Arioka-jo Castle was sent to Amagasaki-jo Castle with Nobutada ODA as the commander in chief.
Japanese: 荒木村重の逃亡はしばらくは伏せられていたが、織田信長の間者に知られるところとなり、同年9月12日に有岡城の攻城軍の半数を、織田信忠が総大将として尼崎城へ向かわした。
English: The fact of Murashige ARAKI's escape was used tactfully to convince Shinpachiro NAKANISHI, the general, and Heishiro MIYAWAKI, the adjutant general, who were in Fort Jorozuka and he succeeded in convincing them to change sides.
Japanese: 上﨟塚砦にいた中西新八郎大将と宮脇平四郎副将に荒木村重の逃亡の事実を巧みに使い寝返りに成功した。
English: Kazumasu TAKIGAWA was one of the best commanders at that time who was praised as 'Takigawa is the best to advance, and Takigawa is the best to retreat,' with excellent talent for carrying out stratagem.
Japanese: 滝川一益は「進むも滝川、退くも滝川」といわれた戦術家で、調略の才も秀でていた当時屈指の武将であった。
English: Around ten o'clock in the night on November 13, 1579, troops of Nobunaga ODA commenced to mount a full-scale attack on Arioka-jo Castle.
Japanese: 同年10月15日亥刻（午後十時頃）織田信長軍は有岡城に総攻撃を開始した。
English: Troops of Kazumasa TAKIGAWA which rushed to Fort Jorozuka could enter into the castle without any resistance.
Japanese: しかし上﨟塚砦に押し寄せた滝川一益隊は、なんの抵抗もうけることなく城内へ侵入を許した。
English: This was not only because of betrayal of Shinpachiro NAKANISHI and Heishiro MIYAWAKI, but also because a certain number of ashigaru taisho (samurai in command of a troop of foot soldiers) of the garrison force had been convinced by Shinpachiro NAKANISHI and so on.
Japanese: これは中西新八郎と宮脇平四郎のみが裏切ったわけではなく、中西新八郎らの説得に応じた守備兵力の足軽大将らが加わったためである。
English: All garrisons were killed one by one and Kantaro WATANABE, the general of Fort Kitanotoride and Tango NOMURA, and the general of Fort Hiyodorizuka made a proposal of surrendering, but refused and they committed suicide by harakiri.
Japanese: 守備兵はことごとく討ち取られていき、北ノ砦の渡辺勘太郎、鵯塚砦の野村丹後の両大将は降伏を申し出たが受け入れられず、切腹してはてた。
English: Troops of Nobunaga ODA set fire to the inside of the castle and the flames spread from the townhouse section to samurai's residences.
Japanese: 織田信長軍は城内を焼き討ちにし郷町から侍屋敷へ火の手が広がっていった。
English: Noncombatants fled to ninomaru (second bailey), but as troops of Nobunaga ODA rushed into Ninomaru, they retracted to honmaru (the keep of the castle).
Japanese: 非戦闘員は二の丸に逃れたが、そこに織田信長軍が突入してきたので本丸にひいていった。
English: Honmaru was surrounded with moats on three sides and the southern side faced to ninomaru across karabori (dry moat) and even troops of Nobunaga ODA could not make their way into honmaru.
Japanese: 本丸は三方を堀で囲まれ、南側は空堀を隔てて二の丸に面しており、さすがの織田信長軍も本丸への侵入は不可能であった。
English: The reason why Kyuzaemon ARAKI made his mind to surrender was that Nobunaga ODA made a peace proposal on condition that, if Murashige ARAKI would surrender Amagasaki-jo Castle and Hanakuma-jo Castle, lives of family members and subordinates in honmaru would be saved.
Japanese: 荒木久左衛門が開城を決意したのは、織田信長から講和の呼びかけがあり「荒木村重が尼崎城と花隈城を明け渡すならば、本丸の家族と家臣一同の命は助ける」とした為である。
English: Kyuzaemon ARAKI visited Amagasaki-jo Castle accompanied by 300 warriors, but Murashiga ARAKI would not accept this proposal.
Japanese: 荒木久左衛門は手勢300兵を率いて尼崎城に向かったが、荒木村重はこの説得に応じる事はなかった。
English: According to "Sengoku no Bushotachi," as there were observers of the Mori clan, Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple and Saigashu were in Amagasaki-jo Castle at that time, Murashige ARAKI's opinion was not accepted.
Japanese: 『戦国の武将たち』によると、この時尼崎城には毛利氏、石山本願寺、雑賀衆の御番衆もいたので、荒木村重の意見は通らなくなってしまったとしている。
English: Kyuzaemon ARAKI who promised to convince Murashige ARAKI, perhaps feeling that he could not face Nobunaga ODA, disappeared into thin air together with 300 soldiers.
Japanese: 荒木村重の説得を約束していた荒木久左衛門は織田信長に顔向け出来ないと思ったのか、300兵共々姿をくらましてしまった。
English: Amagasaki-jo Castle and Hanakuma-jo Castle were not surrendered on that occasion and it was a case never heard before that well-known reputed samurai abandon their wives and children as well as brothers and saved only they themselves.
Japanese: 今度、尼崎・はなくま渡し進上申さず、歴々者ども妻子・兄弟を捨て、我身一人づつ助かるの由、前代未聞の仕立なり。
English: Remaining wives and children heard this and some moaned for wrench of parting telling that they could not tell if they are awake or asleep, and some took in young children and there was a lady who was pregnant.
Japanese: 余多の妻子ども、此趣承り、是は夢かやうつつかや。恩愛の別れの悲しさ、今更たとへん方もなし。さて如何かと歎き、或はおさない子をいただき、或は懐妊したる人もあり。
English: The scene in which they writhed in agony and wept was a sad plight.
Japanese: もだへこがれ、声もおしまず泣き悲しむ有様は、目も当てられぬ次第なり。
English: Hearing this report, Nobunaga ODA said, "Having heard this, I feel a pity for them, but in order to punish sycophants, we should kill hostages in Yamazaki."
Japanese: この報告を聞いた織田信長は、「このよし聞食及ばれ、不便に思食され候といへども、侫人懲のため、人質御成敗の様子、山崎にて条々仰さる」とした。
English: Sycophants' means Murashige ARAKI, Kyuzaemon ARAKI who did not keep his word, and so on, and although he felt pity, he ordered to execute all hostages telling 'Araki family are not samurai.'
Japanese: 「侫人」（ねいじん）とは荒木村重や約束を守らない荒木久左衛門らを指しており、不便と思いながらも「荒木一族は武道人にあらず」と人質全員を処刑するように命じた。
English: Nobunaga ODA had conducted genocidal killing in the cases of the fire attack against Mt. Hiei, Nagashima ikkoikki (an uprising of Ikko sect followers in Nagashima), and Echizen ikkoikki, and as similar execution was conducted in this case also, certain of Nobunaga ODA's troops inclined their heads.
Japanese: 織田信長は比叡山焼き討ち、長島一向一揆、越前一向一揆で大量虐殺を行ったが、今回も同様の処刑とあって織田信長の軍勢の中にも断案に首を傾げる者もいたようである。
English: However, Nobunaga ODA did not change his decision and 36 persons from Araki family and senior vassals were sent to Myoken-ji Temple.
Japanese: しかし織田信長の決意に変更は無く、まず荒木一族と重臣の36名が妙顕寺に移送された。
English: Around nine o'clock in the morning on January 9, 1580, hostages in honmaru of Arioka-jo Castle were sent to Nanatsumatsu where Nobutada ODA had taken up a position and 97 crosses were erected and 122 wives and children of subordinates were made to wear festive dress and killed with guns.
Japanese: ついで、同年12月13日辰刻（午前九時頃）に尼崎城の近く、織田信忠が陣をはっていた七つ松に有岡城の本丸にいた人質が護送され、97本の磔柱を建て家臣の妻子122名に死の晴着をつけ、鉄砲で殺害されたようである。
English: After that, 124 men and 388 women were put into four farmhouses and burnt alive with the farmhouses.
Japanese: それが終わると男性124名、女性388名が四軒の農家に入れられ、生きたまま農家ごと火をつけたようである。
English: Situations at that time are described in "Shinchoko-ki" as follows, and disastrous situations at their mortal moment can be imagined.
Japanese: この時の状況を『信長公記』では、下記のように記していおり、臨終の悲惨な状況が伺えしれる。
English: As wind chopped about, they moved up and down like a fish jumps and heaved because of very hot flame and jumped up and voice of sorrow sounded to the sky going up with smoke and it was like jailer's torture. They lost their guts and nobody observed for two days. Misery could not be expressed sufficiently.'
Japanese: 「風のまはるに随って、魚のこぞる様に上を下へとなみより、焦熱、大焦熱のほのほにむせび、おどり上り飛び上り、悲しみの声煙につれて空に響き、獄卒の呵責の攻めも是なるべし。肝魂を失ひ、二日共更に見る人なし。哀れなる次第中々申し足らず。」
English: On the other hand, 36 persons moved to Myoken-ji Temple, departed Myoken-ji Temple around nine o'clock in the morning on January 9, 1580, and after public exposure in the city of Kyoto were beheaded at Rokujogawara.
Japanese: 一方妙顕寺に移った36名は、同年12月13日辰刻（午前九時頃）に妙顕寺を出立し京市中引き回しの上、六条河原で首を討たれていった。
English: Jinen ARAKI (14 years old), who was a son of Kyuzaemon ARAKI, and Hayatonosuke ARAKI's wife (20 years old) who was pregnant were included among them.
Japanese: この中には、荒木久左衛門の息子荒木自念（14歳）、懐妊中であった荒木隼人介の妻（20歳）も含まれている。
English: Then, the battle of Hanakuma-jo Castle was conducted and he was defeated again here and exiled himself to the territory of the Mori clan.
Japanese: そして花隈城花隈城の戦いへと続いていき、ここでも敗れると毛利氏のもとに亡命していく。
English: The place where Yoshitaka KURODA was confined was located in the northwestern part of Arioka-jo Castle backed with deep marsh and surrounded by bamboo thickets on the other three sides and no sunshine reached the place and it was very humid.
Japanese: 黒田孝高が閉じ込められていた場所は、有岡城の西北にあり、後は深い沼地、三方に竹藪に囲まれていて日も差し込みにくく湿気が多い場所であった。
English: Nobunaga ODA assumed that Yoshitaka KURODA, who went to Arioka-jo Castle alone, betrayed him and ordered Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI to kill Nagamasa KURODA.
Japanese: 織田信長は単独で有岡城に向かった黒田孝高が裏切ったと思いこみ、羽柴秀吉に黒田長政を殺害するように命じた。
English: On that occasion, Shigeharu TAKENAKA stepped forward telling that he would do that job and went to Nagahama-jo Castle (Omi Province) and moved Nagamasa KURODA to Bodaisan-jo Castle in his territory and gave shelter to him there against Nobunaga ODA's order.
Japanese: そこに竹中重治が進み出て「その役目手前がつかまつる」として長浜城(近江国)に向い、黒田長政を自分の領地である菩提山城に移動させ、そこで織田信長の命に逆らってかくまった。
English: The place where Yoshitaka KURODA was imprisoned was not a pleasant place and his skin lost all moisture and he got handicapped for his lifetime with his knee bent.
Japanese: 黒田孝高の投獄場所は快適な場所とはいえず、肌はカサカサになり、膝は曲がったまま終生不具者となってしまった。
English: His only peace of mind was the wisteria which he could see from his jail.
Japanese: 唯一こころの安らぎとなっていたのは、牢獄から見えるフジ(植物)であった。
English: As he could not forget this scene for his life, he chose wisteria arranged in circular form for the family crest of the Kuroda family when he became a daimyo later.
Japanese: その時の光景が生涯忘れられず、後に大名の列に並んだ時に黒田氏の家紋を「藤巴」に選んだ。
English: Toshiyasu KURIYAMA, Tahei MORI, Kurojiro INOUE and so on dressed as merchants and sneaked into Arioka-jo Castle and identified the place where Yoshitaka KURODA was imprisoned.
Japanese: そこで栗山利安、母里太兵衛、井上九郎次郎らが商人に変装し有岡城に潜入し投獄されている場所を特定した。
English: When full-scale attack was commenced on November 13, 1579, Toshiyasu KURIYAMA and so on succeeded in helping him out of the jail taking advantage of confusion and three persons carried him on their back by turns and moved toward Arima-Onsen Hot Spring and he stayed there until he recovered his physical strength and, later, he met Hideyoshi HASHIBA in Himeji-jo Castle.
Japanese: 10月15日に総攻撃が開始された時に、栗山利安らが大混乱に乗じて救い出すことに成功し、三名は順番に背負いながら有馬温泉に向い、しばらく体力が回復するまで逗留し、その後姫路城で羽柴秀吉と対面した。
English: Hideyoshi HASHIBA was astonished by the drastic change of Yoshitaka KURODA and cried bitterly 'begging pardon' to Yoshitaka KURODA.
Japanese: 羽柴秀吉は黒田孝高のあまりの変わりように驚き、「すまぬ」と号泣したと言われている。
English: Nobunaga ODA, who knew the truth later, regretted very much that he killed Nagamasa KURODA telling that 'he lacked insight,' and he was very glad to know that Nagamasa KURODA was alive thanks to ready wit of Shigeharu TAKENAKA.
