English: His father was Imperial Prince Abo who was the eldest son of Emperor Heijo and his mother, Imperial Princess Ito, was a daughter of Emperor Kanmu, meaning Narihira was a grandson of Emperor Heijo and a great grandson of Emperor Kanmu in terms of his paternal lineage and a grandson of Emperor Kanmu in terms of his maternal lineage.
Japanese: 父は平城天皇第一皇子の阿保親王、母伊都内親王は桓武天皇の皇女で、業平は父方をたどれば平城天皇の孫・桓武天皇の曾孫であり、母方をたどれば桓武天皇の孫にあたる。

English: Kaikei left his inscriptions on many of his works, which was unusual for Buddhist sculptors prior to the Japanese Middle Ages.
Japanese: 快慶は日本の中世以前の仏師の中では例外的に多くの作品に銘記を残している。
English: By signing his works 'Artisan,' it is clear that Kaikei was a sculptor who was very conscious of his position as an 'Artist.'
Japanese: 自ら「巧匠」と名乗っていることとも合わせ、快慶は「作者」としての意識の強い仏師であったことがうかがわれる。
English: Also, calling himself 'An Amida Butsu' and leaving many Amida Nyorai statues shows that he was a devoted Amida follower.
Japanese: また「アン阿弥陀仏」と称し、阿弥陀如来像を多数残していることから、熱心な阿弥陀信仰者であったことがわかる。
English: With Unkei, Kaikei was involved in the rebuilding project of major temples in Nara, including Todai-ji Temple and Koufuku-ji Temple, which had sustained devastating damage when TAIRA no Shigehira ordered the burning of the city in 1180.

Japanese: 快慶の作品は、銘記や関係史料から真作と判明しているものだけで40件近く現存し、制作年が明らかなものも多い。
English: Kaikei's works are left not only at major temples such as Todai-ji Temple, Kofuku-ji Temple or Daigo-ji Temple, but also at small temples with unclear histories.
Japanese: また、東大寺、興福寺、醍醐寺のような大寺院だけでなく、由緒の明らかでない小寺院にも快慶の作品が残されている。
English: However, a document found inside the Amida Nyorai standing statue (by Kaikei's disciple, Kokai) at Gokuraku-ji Temple, Joyo City, Kyoto Prefecture, mentioned that Kaikei was already dead in 1227, so this is the limit for his year of death.
Japanese: ただし、京都府城陽市・極楽寺の阿弥陀如来立像（快慶の弟子・行快の作）の胎内から発見された文書に嘉禄3年（1227年）の年紀と、この時点で快慶が故人であったことが記されており、この年が快慶死去の下限となる。
