English: On November 8, Hiromoto visited the shogunate residence under the name of Yoshitoki's messenger and remonstrated with him and said, 'For your descendants' prosperity, you should resign your official position and just be Seii-taishogun, and after a while when you come to a senior, why don't you combine the general?'
Japanese: 20日、広元は義時の使いと称し、御所を訪れて諌めて「御子孫の繁栄の為に、御当官等を辞しただ征夷大将軍として、しばらく御高年に及び、大将を兼ね給うべきか」と言った。
English: Your remonstration is quite natural, but the orthodoxy of the Minamoto clan is dwindling at this moment, and my descendants could not succeed this position.'

English: Hiromoto left without answering yes or no and told it to Yoshitoki (besides, Masataka UWAYOKOTE and Shosuke KOUCHI interpret it as Sanetomo wanting Yoshitoki to carry a message that implies he gave up having a son and wanted his successor from other families).
Japanese: 広元は再び是非を申せず退出し、それを義時に伝えた（なお、上横手雅敬や河内祥輔は、この会話を実朝が男子誕生を断念して然るべき家から後継者を求める意思を示し、義時にその伝言を求めたとする解釈を採る）。

English: It is uncertain whether it comes from the interests in Sung, but Sanetomo asked to bring Buddha's ashes from Neng Ren Temple in Sung, and it has been dedicated to Shariden (reliquary hall) of Engaku-ji Temple.
Japanese: なお宋への関心からか、実朝は宋の能仁寺より仏舎利を請来しており、円覚寺の舎利殿に祀られている。

English: When the writing of kemari (Japanese ancient Imperial court game like kick-ball) was sent from Kyoto, Azuma Kagami writes, 'What the Shogun especially loved was poetry and kick-ball among various things he enjoyed.'
Japanese: 蹴鞠の書が京より送られたのを受け「将軍家諸道を賞玩し給う中、殊に御意に叶うは、歌鞠の両芸なり。」
English: Grieving about Sanetomo, who sought early promotions, Hiromoto said, 'He only succeeded the remains of the former general, and he hasn't gained any merits, but he was promoted to Chunagon (vice-councilor of state) Chujo (Middle Captain) only by managing various districts.'
Japanese: 昇任を急ぐ実朝を憂慮し、「今は先君の遺跡を継ぐばかりで、当代にさせる勲功は無く、諸国を管領し中納言中将に昇られる。」
English: I feel very sorry that Sanetomo died a disappointing death before he reached 30 and gained a bright future.
Japanese: 實朝といふ人は三十にも足らで、いざこれからといふ処にてあへなき最期を遂げられ誠に残念致し候。
English: If he had survived ten more years, he might have left us more wonderful poems.
Japanese: あの人をして今十年も活かして置いたならどんなに名歌を沢山残したかも知れ不申候。
English: He did not try to follow the styles of KAKINOMOTO no Hitomaro or YAMABE no Akahito or imitate the styles of KI no Tsurayuki or FUJIWARA no Teika at all, his style was established as highly as mountains and as bright as the light of the sun and moon, and it was to be really respected and I felt brought to my knees unawares.
Japanese: 強ち柿本人麻呂・山部赤人の余唾を舐るでもなく、固より紀貫之・藤原定家の糟粕をしやぶるでもなく、自己の本領屹然として山岳と高きを争ひ日月と光を競ふ処、実に畏るべく尊むべく、覚えず膝を屈するの思ひ有之候。
English: It is definitely wrong that he was evaluated as an ordinary person, and I think that he just held back from the Hojo clan and concealed his talent or he was a late-boomer.
Japanese: 古来凡庸の人と評し来りしは必ず誤なるべく、北条氏を憚りて韜晦せし人か、さらずば大器晩成の人なりしかと覚え候。
English: It is common that someone who directs people and reaches to the culmination of literature or arts is inferior as a human being, but Sanetomo must be exceptional.
Japanese: 人の上に立つ人にて文学技芸に達したらん者は、人間としては下等の地にをるが通例なれども、實朝は全く例外の人に相違無之候。
English: That is because Sanetomo's poems are not only skillful but powerful, discreet, and influential, and the points that they do not follow the trend and adjust to others were quite different from those of the curious people or dead poem composers, and if he had not been a thoughtful person, such powerful poems as Sanetomo's could not have been created.
Japanese: 何故と申すに實朝の歌はただ器用といふのではなく、力量あり見識あり威勢あり、時流に染まず世間に媚びざる処、例の物数奇連中や死に歌よみの公卿たちととても同日には論じがたく、人間として立派な見識のある人間ならでは、實朝の歌の如き力ある歌は詠みいでられまじく候。
English: KAMO no Mabuchi bestowed his highest praise on Sanetomo, but it seems to be not enough.
Japanese: 賀茂真淵は力を極めて實朝をほめた人なれども、真淵のほめ方はまだ足らぬやうに存候。
English: Mabuchi only knew the half of the charm of Sanetomo's poems, and he might not have known the other half.
Japanese: 真淵は實朝の歌の妙味の半面を知りて、他の半面を知らざりし故に可有之候。
English: Emperor Gotoba was in favor of Sanetomo and it is said that he expedited his promotion.
Japanese: 後鳥羽天皇は実朝に好意的であり、その昇進に便宜を図ったといわれている。
English: Meanwhile, he firmly rejected the Retired Emperor's jito (land steward) dismissal request (Ota no sho manor in the Bingo Province) on the ground that it would crush the basis of bakufu if he allowed it, saying 'I have no reason to dismiss jito who the late MINAMOTO no Yoritomo assigned as far as they're not problematic,' and when Kintsune SAIONJI was dismissed from Ukone no daisho (Major Captain of the Right Division of Inner Palace Guards), Sanetomo pointed out the Retired Emperor's mistake and remonstrated with him.
Japanese: その一方で、上皇が要求した地頭解任要求（備後国太田荘）を「故源頼朝が決めた地頭は問題がない限り解任する理由はない」と幕府の根幹を揺るがしかねないとして固辞しており、西園寺公経が右近衛大将を解任された折には上皇の非を指摘してこれを諌めている。
English: When Tokihiro OE, who was appointed to Kurodo (Chamberlain) of Emperor Juntoku, tried to go back to Kyoto, being negligent of his duties in Kamakura, Sanetomo criticized him for making little of Kamakura although he was gokenin ("Azuma Kagami" (The Mirror of the East) The Article of October 20, the 6th Year of Kenpo).
Japanese: また、順徳天皇の蔵人に任じられた大江時広が鎌倉での職務を疎かにして京都に戻ろうとするのを「御家人でありながら鎌倉を軽んじている」とたしなめている（『吾妻鏡』建保6年8月20日条）。
English: Judging from the fact that the Retired Emperor launched Jokyu no ran (a war between the Retired Emperor Gotoba and Kamakura bakufu in Jokyu era) by taking advantage of Sanetomo's death, it is too hasty to conclude that Sanetomo was "a pro-imperial general."
Japanese: 上皇が実朝の死を好機と見て承久の乱に踏み切ったことから見ても、単に『親朝廷の将軍』と判断するのは早計である。
English: His father MINAMOTO no Yoritomo tried to make his daughter an empress of Emperor Gotoba (at that time) to reinforce the government by making use of the Imperial Court, and Sanetomo may have succeeded in his approach to the Retired Emperor.
Japanese: 父である源頼朝は自分の娘を後鳥羽天皇（当時）の妃にしようとするなど幕府を固めるために朝廷の利用を考えていた面があり、上皇との接近はその継承とも解釈できる。
English: Also, it has been pointed out since Masataka UWAYOKOTE that Sanetomo was planning to adopt a shogun from the Imperial Court as his successor, and there is one view that the promotion of his official rank was preparation for that (an official rank over ministers was necessary to be a father of an imperial family even on paper) (Shosuke KOUCHI's theory).
Japanese: また、上横手雅敬以来、実朝には自らの後継として皇族将軍（宮将軍）を猶子に迎える構想があったことが指摘され、官位の昇進をその環境づくりの側面もあった（形式上でも皇族の父親となる以上、大臣級の官位を必要とした）とする見方がある（河内祥輔説）。
English: However, after the Kamakura bakufu was established, as the samurai class gradually became influential in policies and confident, they clearly refused control by the Imperial Court and the nobility, and the main constituent gokenin considered the extreme promotion as an attitude favoring the Imperial Court, and this lead to the later assassination, according to one theory.
Japanese: だが、鎌倉幕府成立以後、武士階層が次第に政治力と自信をつけてくるにつれて朝廷や貴族による支配を拒絶する態度をより明確にするようになり、その中核をなした御家人などからは極端な官位昇進などを朝廷重視の姿勢の現れであると見なされ、後の暗殺事件への伏線になったとの説もある。
English: Hidetada TOKUGAWA (May 12, 1579 - March 14, 1632) was a Busho (Japanese military commander) from the Azuchi-Momoyama period to the Edo period and the second Shogun of the Edo Bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun).
Japanese: 德川秀忠（とくがわひでただ、天正7年4月7日(旧暦)（1579年5月2日〈ユリウス暦〉）-寛永9年1月24日（1632年3月4日〈ユリウス暦〉・1632年3月14日〈グレゴリオ暦〉）は、安土桃山時代から江戸時代の武将、江戸幕府第二代将軍。
English: He was born in Hamamatsu, Totomi Province as the third son of Ieyasu TOKUGAWA and brought up by Menoto (Wet nurse) Oba no Tsubone.
Japanese: 徳川家康の三男として、遠江国・浜松市に生まれ、乳母・大姥局によって養育される。
English: His mother was Saigo no tsubone, Sokushitsu (concubine) whose family home was the Saigo clan which was a family of the Kikuchi clan of Kyushu and a powerful Kokujin (Local lord) of Mikawa Province who had once filled the position of Shugodai (deputy of Shugo, provincial military governor) in the early Muromachi period.
Japanese: 母は側室の西郷局、実家の西郷氏は、九州の菊池氏一族で、室町初期には守護代をつとめたこともある三河国の有力な国人であった。
English: His eldest brother, Nobuyasu MATSUDAIRA died in the year when Hidetada was born and his older brother by a concubine, Hideyasu YUKI was adopted by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI and later succeeded the Yuki clan.
Japanese: 長兄・松平信康は秀忠の生まれた年に死亡、庶兄の結城秀康は豊臣秀吉の養子に出されて、後に結城氏を継いだ。
English: Therefore, Hidetada whose mother came from an important family in Mikawa Province was treated as the substantial heir and appointed to Chunagon (vice-councilor of state) at the age of 14 and called the Edo Chunagon.
Japanese: 従って、母親が三河の名家である秀忠が実質的な世子として処遇されて14歳で中納言に任官し、江戸中納言と呼ばれる。
English: In 1590, Hidetada had a wedding ceremony to marry Ohime (Shunshoin), an adopted daughter of Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI and a daughter of Nobukatsu ODA, however, the marriage was broken off because Nobukatsu was deprived of his status as a result of his quarrel with Hideyoshi.
Japanese: 天正18年（1590年）、豊臣秀吉の養女で織田信雄の娘・小姫（春昌院）と祝言を挙げたが、秀吉と信雄が仲違いして信雄が除封された事により破談となる。
English: In 1595, he married Sugen-in (Her father was Nagamasa ASAI and her mother was Oichi no kata, younger sister of Nobunaga ODA), a niece of Nobunaga and an adopted daughter of Hideyoshi.
Japanese: 文禄4年（1595年）には信長の姪で同じく秀吉の養女崇源院（父は浅井長政、母は織田信長の妹・お市の方）と結婚。
English: In the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, he was assigned to lead a detached force going through the Nakasen-do Road and planned to arrive at Akasaka-shuku Post station town in Mino Province on October 16 (The Fukushima family document mentioned 'Chunagon is to arrive at the place around the tenth'), while the main force led by Ieyasu was going through the Tokai-do Road.
Japanese: 慶長5年（1600年）の関ヶ原の戦いでは、東海道を進む家康本隊に対して、中山道を進む別働隊を率いる役割を与えられ、9月10日に美濃の赤坂宿に到着する予定（福島家文書に「中納言、さだめて十日時分には其地まで参るべし」）だった。
English: However, in the Battle of Ueda in Shinano Province, he took so much time to cope with the fierce resistance by Masayuki SANADA that he lost his chance to participate in the Battle of Sekigahara on October 21.
Japanese: しかし、信濃国上田合戦で、真田昌幸の激しい抵抗に時間を奪われて9月15日(旧暦)（新暦10月21日）の関ヶ原の戦いには参加できなかった。
English: By that incident, Hidetada exposed throughout the country his incompetence in the military affairs, which made Ieyasu grow pessimistic about the future of the Tokugawa family after his death, and although Ieyasu originally intended to make Tokugawa and Toyotomi families coexist in accordance with the last wishes of Hideyoshi, he abandoned that intention and chose to abolish the Toyotomi family so that he could be freed from anxiety about the future.
Japanese: このことで軍事面に於いてその無能振りを全国に示した秀忠及び自分の死後の徳川家の将来を悲観した家康が、もともとは秀吉の遺言に従い、徳川・豊臣両家共存の意向だったのを取り止めて、後顧の憂いを絶つべく豊臣家廃絶の道を選んだのではないか。
English: Even though Hidetada's ability in the military affairs was doubtful, he became the successor, for which it is said that Ieyasu regarded Hidetada suitable as a ruler in the 'Maintenance Ages' (Ieyasu read "Joganseiyo," a book written about Taiso, the second Emperor of Tang Dynasty in China and is thought to have naturally read a sentence in it saying 'Starting a reign is less difficult than carrying it through').
Japanese: そのように軍事面での才能には疑問が持たれる秀忠だが、それでも後継者となったのは家康が秀忠を「守成の時代」の君主に相応しいと考えていたからだと言われている（家康は太宗(唐)の治世について記した『貞観政要』を読んでおり、当然その中の「守成は創業より難し」という一文も読んでいたと思われる）。
English: He was expected to solidify the foundations of the newly established Edo Bakufu strictly in line with his father's policy and it may be said that Hidetada consequently came up to the expectations well.
Japanese: 律儀に父の路線を守り、出来て間もない江戸幕府の基盤を強固にすることを期待されたのであり、結果として秀忠もそれによく応えたと言えるだろう。
English: However, Hidetada himself seems to have worried about suffering the disgrace of being an incompetent Busho and he strongly recommended Ieyasu to take a daring attack tactic against the Toyotomi side in the Osaka no Eki (The Siege of Osaka), on which there is a theory that Hidetada planned to clear his name by winning a victory in the battle.
Japanese: ただ、秀忠自身は武将として汚名が付いたことを気にしていたらしく、大坂の役では家康に対して豊臣方への強攻策を主張しており、この戦いに勝利することで汚名を返上しようとしていたのではないか、とする説もある。
English: Ieyasu who became Seitaishogun and founded the Bakufu in 1603 stayed in the position only for two years and transfer Shogunate to Hidetada to make sure that the Tokugawa clan keep Shogunate by heredity.
Japanese: 慶長8年（1603年）に征夷大将軍に就いて幕府を開いた家康は、徳川氏による将軍職世襲を確実にするため、慶長10年（1605年）にわずか2年で秀忠に将軍職を譲った。
English: When Hidetada went to the capital (Kyoto) for his inauguration as Shogun, he led an army of 100,000 territorial lords of Kanto, Tohoku and Koshin regions.
Japanese: 秀忠が将軍職に就任するための上洛時、関東・東北・甲信の諸大名をあわせ10万人規模の軍を率いた。
English: Hidetada who lived in the Edo Castle and Ogosho (the retired and still de facto Shogun) Ieyasu in the Sunpu-jo Castle formed a duarchy, however, Hidetada took the reins of the Bakufu according to Ieyasu's intention with advice of Masanobu HONDA and others.
Japanese: 秀忠は江戸城に居住し、駿府城に住む大御所家康との間の二元政治体制になるが、本多正信らの補佐により家康の意を汲んだ政治を執った。
English: He participated in the Osaka no Eki with Ieyasu as the supreme commander, but in the battle of 1615, his Honjin (headquarters) was threatened by Harufusa Ono, a chief retainer of the Toyotomi family.
Japanese: 大坂の役にも家康とともに参戦して総大将となり、慶長20年（1615年）の戦で、豊臣家重臣・大野治房によって本陣を脅かされた。
English: The Toyotomi family was finally ruined and Senhime, Hidetada's daughter who married Hideyori TOYOTOMI was rescued.
Japanese: 結局、豊臣家は滅亡し、豊臣秀頼に嫁がせていた娘の千姫は助け出された。
English: After that, with Ieyasu, he was engaged in enactment of laws including the Buke Shohatto (Code for the warrior households) and Kinchu narabini Kuge Shohatto (Code for Emperor and Court nobles).
Japanese: その後、家康とともに武家諸法度・禁中並公家諸法度などの制定につとめた。
English: Furthermore, there is a theory that, when Shogunate was transferred to Hidetada, the titles of Genji no choja (chief of the Minamoto clan) and Shogakuin no Betto (chief of Shogakuin) were not transferred (Tomohiko OKANO "Genji and King of Japan").
Japanese: なお将軍襲職の際、源氏長者、奨学院別当は譲られなかったとする説がある（岡野友彦『源氏と日本国王』）。
English: Although "Tokugawa Jikki" (The True Tokugawa Records) says that he received those titles, the theory claims that they were given after his death.
Japanese: 『徳川実紀』にはなったと書いてあるが、これは没後さかのぼってなったのだというのである。
English: If that was true, he was only Tokugawa Shogun who did not become Genji no choja.
Japanese: これが事実なら、徳川将軍で唯一源氏長者にならなかった将軍ということになる。
English: After Ieyasu died in 1616, Hidetada started the direct Shogun's rule filling the key Bakufu positions with his own close aides including Tadayo SAKAI and Toshikatsu DOI appointed as Roju (senior councilor of the Tokugawa Shogunate) and displayed his own leadership.
Japanese: 元和(日本)2年（1616年）に家康が死去したのちは、将軍親政を開始し酒井忠世、土井利勝らを老中として幕府の中枢を自身の側近で固め、自らリーダーシップを発揮する。
English: He tightened the controls on Daimyo (Japanese feudal lord), by which many Tozama daimyo (a daimyo who was not a hereditary vassal of the Tokugawa family) including Masanori FUKUSHIMA were deprived of their status, and assigned his three younger brothers to the Owari Domain, the Kii Domain and the Mito Domain respectively and gave Suruga Province, Totomi Province and Kai Province to his own son, Tadanaga TOKUGAWA.
Japanese: 大名統制を強化して福島正則ら多くの外様大名を改易し、3人の弟を尾張藩・紀伊藩・水戸藩に配置し、自身の子徳川忠長に駿河国・遠江国・甲斐国を与えた。
English: On the other hand, he deprived Tadateru MATSUDAIRA and Tadanao MATSUDAIRA, his adopted son-in-law of their status and exiled Masazumi HONDA, a tactician of Ieyasu.
Japanese: 一方で、弟の松平忠輝・娘婿の松平忠直や家康の謀臣・本多正純を改易・配流にしている。
English: While he strictly tightened the controls on the Imperial Court, he arranged to have Kazuko TOKUGAWA, one of his daughters married with Emperor Gomizuno.
Japanese: また朝廷に対しても厳しい引き締めを行う一方で、娘の一人徳川和子を後水尾天皇に入内させた。
English: He ordered that ports of call for foreign ships be limited to Hirado-ko Port and Nagasaki-ko Port in preparation for a national isolation policy.
Japanese: また鎖国政策の布石として、外国船寄港を平戸港・長崎港に限定させている。
English: Following the example of his father Ieyasu, he kept holding real power even after retirement and took the reins of Bakufu as Ogosho under a duarchy.
Japanese: 父家康に倣って、引退後も実権は手放さず、大御所として二元政治を行った。
English: Although he seems to have planned to attend to Bakufu affairs in Odawara-jo Castle following the example of Ieyasu who retired to Sunpu, he finally moved to the Nishi no maru (a castle compound to the west of the main compound) of the Edo-jo Castle (present Imperial Palace).
Japanese: 当初、駿府に引退した家康に倣い、自身は小田原城で政務を執ることを考えていたようだが、結局は江戸城西の丸（現在の皇居）に移った。
English: For the Shie Incident which occurred in 1629 in his later years, he demonstrated a strict control of the Imperial Court and temples and shrines.
Japanese: 晩年の寛永6年（1629年）の紫衣事件では朝廷・寺社統制の徹底を示した。
English: In 1631, he confiscated Tadanaga's territories and placed him under house arrest, but around that time, he became indisposed and he died in early 1632.
Japanese: 寛永8年（1631年）には忠長の領地を召し上げて蟄居を命じるが、このころから体調を崩し、翌寛永9年（1632年）年初めに亡くなった。
English: As it has been only a short time since our family established our Bakufu, the official discipline and laws created so far are still incomplete and even though I intended to revise them, now it is unfortunately impossible, so after my death, you shall revise those without hesitation, it is a filial piety to pursue the same aims as myself.'
Japanese: 「当家夜をありつの日浅く、今まで創建せし綱紀政令、いまだ全備せしにあらざれば、近年のうちにそれぞれ改修せんと思ひしが、今は不幸にして其の事も遂げずなりぬ、我なからむ後に、御身いささか憚る所なく改正し給へば、これぞ我が志を継ぐとも申すべき孝道なれ」
English: On August 8, 1587, he was granted Jugoinoge (Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade) and appointed Jiju (a chamberlain) as Hidetada TOYOTOMI.
Japanese: 1587年（天正15年）8月8日(旧暦)、豊臣秀忠として、従五位下に叙し、侍従に任官。
