English: After the exclusion of other clans from the Imperial Court was completed by MINAMOTO no Takaakira's expulsion in the Anna Incident and MINAMOTO no Kaneakira's returning to the Imperial family following the incident, a struggle for power was played out within the Northern House of the Fujiwara clan.
Japanese: 安和の変による源高明の追放、次いで源兼明の皇族復帰によって他氏排斥が完了した後は、藤原北家の内部で権力争奪が行われることとなった。
English: After the Anna Incident, FUJIWARA no Kanemichi and his brother FUJIWARA no Kaneie, the sons of FUJIWARA no Morosuke, a maternal relative of both Emperors Reizei and Enyu, competed for the posts of regent and chancellor, and each tried to prevent the other's promotion.
Japanese: 安和の変後、冷泉天皇・円融天皇両天皇の外戚であった藤原師輔の子である藤原兼通・藤原兼家兄弟が摂関の座を争って互いにその出世を妨害しようとした。
English: Kanemichi, coming from the post of acting major counsellor, became the next chancellor, by being appointed as chancellor after becoming a Private Inspector, then Great Minister of the Center.
Japanese: 権大納言から後継の関白の地位を得た兼通は、内覧・内大臣を経て関白に就任した。
English: To award Kanemichi the qualifications as minister to be installed as chancellor, the post of Great Minister of the Center was used for the first time in 72 years.
Japanese: 兼通に関白就任に必要な大臣の資格を与えるために内大臣が72年ぶりに設置された。
English: (As the previous appointment was out of respect for FUJIWARA no Takafuji, the Dainagon (chief councilor of state) and maternal grandfather of the emperor who was in critical condition, it was in fact the first time in 191 years since FUJIWARA no Uona at the end of Nara period.)
Japanese: （その前の藤原高藤は危篤となった天皇の外祖父である大納言に対する礼遇であるため、実質は奈良時代末期の藤原魚名以来191年ぶりである）
English: However, MINAMOTO no Kaneakira, the minister of the left, and FUJIWARA no Yoritada, the minister of the right (later a chancellor), has ranks higher than Kanemichi, and Kaneakira secured the real power of the Great Council of State as ichinokami (the ranking Council Member).
Japanese: だが、兼通の上位には左大臣源兼明と右大臣藤原頼忠（後の関白）がおり、兼通はその次の席次であった上に、兼明は一上として太政官の実権を掌握していた。
English: So Kanemichi took the post of prime minister, made MINAMOTO no Kaneakira return to the emperor's family and made the minister of the left resign by issuing an imperial edict, and appointed Yoritada as ichinokami.
Japanese: そこで兼通は太政大臣に就任して源兼明を皇族に復帰させて左大臣を止めさせる詔勅を出させ、頼忠を一上に任命した。
English: Kanemichi promoted his sons to court nobles and attempted to make their positions hereditary, but failed due to his death from an illness soon after appointing them as court nobles.
Japanese: 兼通は自身の子弟を公卿に昇進させてその世襲化を図ったが、息子達を公卿に任じ終えた直後に病死したために挫折した。
English: Kaneie, who had lived in obscurity due to Kanemichi for a long time, took the post of regent as the maternal grandfather of Emperor Ichijo.
Japanese: 兼通によって長年不遇であった兼家は一条天皇の外祖父として摂政に就任した。
English: Although Kaneie was minister of the right, prime minister FUJIWARA no Yoritada (the former chancellor) and MINAMOTO no Masanobu, minister of the left, were superior to him in rank, and Masanobu served as ichinokami.
Japanese: 兼家は右大臣であったものの、上位に太政大臣藤原頼忠（前関白）・左大臣源雅信がおり、雅信が一上であった。
English: As Kaneie could not find any pretext to remove Yoritada or Masanobu, he himself resigned his post as minister of the right and was treated as jusangu in exchange for it, then took a higher rank than any other officer as chancellor, after taking the post of regent, even though he was an ex-minister.
Japanese: 頼忠・雅信排除の名目を見出せなかった兼家は、自ら右大臣を辞して替わりに准三宮の待遇を受けて、前大臣でありながら摂政後に関白として百官の上位に就いた。
English: After this, the rank of regent and chancellor in the Imperial Court was regarded as higher than that of prime minister.
Japanese: 以後、摂政・関白の宮中での席次は、太政大臣よりも上位と考えられるようになった。
English: Also, he promoted his four sons and brothers-in-law to court nobles, appointed his heir FUJIWARA no Michitaka to Great Minister of the Center and died immediately after he resigned the post of chancellor in favor of him.
Japanese: また、4人の子息と義弟を公卿に昇進させ、嫡男の藤原道隆を内大臣に任じて関白の地位を譲ったところで死去した。
English: It was FUJIWARA no Michinaga, the fifth son of Kaneie who won a chain of disputes within the clan, and created the golden age of the regency.
Japanese: こうした一連の一族内紛争に勝利し、摂関政治の最盛期を作り出したのが兼家の5男であった藤原道長である。
English: In 995, Michinaga won the struggle for power with his nephew FUJIWARA no Korechika (Michitaka's heir) and took the post of Private Inspector.
Japanese: 道長もまた、995年に甥藤原伊周（道隆嫡男）との権力闘争に勝ち、内覧に就任している。
English: However, his daughter, who was married into the emperor's family, failed to give birth to a boy who would have become an emperor.
Japanese: しかし、天皇家に嫁がせた娘からはついに天皇となる男児は生まれなかった。
English: Emperor Gosanjo was an emperor whose grandfather, for the first time in approximately 170 years, was not from the Northern House of the Fujiwara clan, and his supporters were FUJIWARA no Yoshinobu (Yorimichi's brother by a different mother) and others who were excluded from being eligible for the posts of regent or chancellor even though they were from the same regent's house.
Japanese: 後三条天皇は藤原北家の祖父を持たない約170年ぶりの天皇であり、それを支援したのは同じ摂関家ながらその就任資格から排除された藤原能信（頼通の異母弟）らであった。
English: Emperor Gosanjo came out with one policy after another intended to revive the emperor's prestige and the ritsuryo system (a legal system introduced from the Tang dynasty in China), and the following Emperor Shirakawa also continued these policies.
Japanese: 後三条天皇は、天皇の威信と律令の復興を意図する政策を次々と打ち出し、次代の白河天皇もその政策を引き継いだ。
English: In the regent's house, however, Yorimichi and FUJIWARA no Norimichi (Yorimichi's brother by the same mother), who took over the post of chancellor after him, were in conflict during this period and they were not in any condition to take any concrete measures against the emperor.
Japanese: だがこの間、摂関家では頼通とその後を継いで関白となった藤原教通（頼通の同腹弟）が確執を起こして、天皇に対して具体的な対抗手段を取れる状況ではなかった。
English: Although Emperor Shirakawa became the Retired Emperor in 1086, it was not a retirement, but rather the start of government by the retired emperor, the so-called cloistered government.
Japanese: そして、白河天皇は1086年に上皇となったが、それは引退などではなく、上皇としての政治、いわゆる院政の開始を意味した。
English: As a retired emperor he was able to use power equal to an emperor under the provisions of the ritsuryo system, and had the advantage of being the real father of an emperor, so political power shifted from the regents and chancellors to the retired emperors.
Japanese: 律令の規定上、上皇は天皇と同等の権力行使が可能であり、天皇の実父であるという強みも得て、政治権力は摂政・関白から上皇へシフトしていった。
English: Furthermore, after the death of FUJIWARA no Moromichi (the grandson of Yorimichi), there occurred a coincidental struggle for the successor in the regent's house, and it was eventually settled by the Cloistered Emperor Shirakawa's intervention.
Japanese: 更に偶然にも藤原師通（頼通の孫）の死後の摂関家では後継者争いが生じ、最終的に白河法皇の介入という形で解決がなされてしまう。
English: Because of this, after that it became impossible to ignore the wishes of the Retired Emperor (Cloistered Emperor) when appointing someone as regent or chancellor.
Japanese: このため、以後の摂政・関白の任命には上皇（法皇）の意向を無視する事が不可能になってしまった。
English: These circumstances inside the regent's house itself spurred the decline of the regency.
Japanese: こうした摂関家自らの内部事情が摂関政治の衰退に拍車をかけてしまったのである。
English: The regency in the traditional sense is an administration monopolized by emperors and court nobles related on the maternal side, with the key person in the maternal line taking the posts of regent and chancellor.
Japanese: 古典的理解による摂関政治は母系的繋がりを持つ天皇、公卿による政治の独占で、母系の要となる者が摂政・関白となるという理解である。
English: In the traditional sense of the regency, only an infant emperor's maternal grandfather and his relatives had the right to take the post of regent, and then the post of chancellor or court noble, but after the cloistered government was formed, it was officially recognized that the posts of regent and chancellor were to be passed down from generation to generation only within Yorimichi's line in the Northern House of the Fujiwara clan.
Japanese: 古典的理解での摂関政治では、幼帝の外祖父とその血縁者のみが摂政、後に関白や公卿の権利を持っていたが、院政の成立後には藤原北家頼通流にのみ摂政・関白職が世襲されることが公認される。
English: Ironically, it was the cloistered government that ended the regency that produced the concept of the 'regent's house.'
Japanese: 皮肉にも摂関政治を終焉に導いた院政が「摂関家」という概念を生み出した。
English: And therefore the real regency should be regarded as having already come to its end in the reigns of Emperor Gosanjo and Shirakawa.
Japanese: そして、実体としての摂関政治は、後三条・白河期に終焉を迎えていたと見るべきであろう。
English: Later, the regency seems to have disappeared due to military rule, although warriors took advantage of the regent's house as a foundation of power because the posts of regent and chancellor still remained.
Japanese: その後、武家政治によって摂関政治は完全に消滅したかに見えたが、摂政・関白職は存続していたため、武士達は権力の拠所として摂関家を大いに利用した。
English: Hideyoshi took advantage of his status as chancellor as much as possible, and in a sense, he might be said to have revived the regency.
Japanese: 秀吉は関白としての地位を最大限に利用し、ある意味、摂関政治を復興させたと言えなくもない。
English: However, Hideyoshi's power did not derive from the status of chancellor but rather his own political influence, and also because he tried to rank the regency as the 'the leading warrior' in place of the seii taishogun (literally, "great general who subdues the barbarians"), it did not take the same line as a restoration of the old regency.
Japanese: しかし秀吉の権勢は関白の地位に由来するものではなく、彼本人の政治力によるものであり、また、彼は摂関を征夷大将軍に代わる「武家の棟梁」として位置付けようとしたものであり、旧来の摂関政治の復活とは軌を一にするものではなかった。
English: In the Edo period, the power of the regent's house was restored with the help of the Edo bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun), but it was only a nominal one, and not given any real power.
Japanese: また、江戸時代には江戸幕府の支援で摂関家の勢力が再興されたが、あくまで名目としての存在で、実権は伴っていなかった。
English: On the other hand, due to the bakufu's intervention, the regency was in fact negated because the representatives of the regent's house at the time were required to use a 'council system' when making decisions.
Japanese: さらに、同時に幕府の介入によって摂関家当主による「合議制」による意思決定が義務付けられた事によって寧ろ逆に摂関政治は否定される事になった。
English: Still, regents and chancellor were treated particularly well in the bakufu, and there were even chancellors, such as Motohiro KONOE, who had a certain amount of influence in the bakufu.
Japanese: それでも摂政・関白の幕府での待遇の厚さは格別なものがあり、近衛基煕など幕府において一定の影響力を有した関白さえ存在した。
English: In the Meiji period the posts of regent and chancellor were abandoned, and at the same time, the regency completely disappeared.
Japanese: 明治時代になって、摂政・関白は廃止され、同時に摂関政治は完全に消滅する事となった。
English: At present, only the position of the regent still exists, and the Imperial Household Law provides that the post is only for members of the Imperial family, such as the Crown Prince, and is used to conduct the Emperor's official duties in his place.
Japanese: 現在、摂政のみが存続を認められ、天皇の公務を代行する役目として皇太子など皇族のみが任ぜられる職として皇室典範に定められている。
English: In the ritsuryo system, the method of policy decision was that the emperor sanctioned political and personnel proposals reported by the great council of state.
Japanese: 律令では、太政官が奏上する政策案や人事案を天皇が裁可する、という政策決定方式が採られていた。
English: In other words, in the ritsuryo system it was stipulated that power be concentrated in the hands of the emperor, but with the appearance of the regent and chancellor, the emperor's deputy and adviser, the regent's house began to take over the emperor's right to exercise sovereignty.
Japanese: すなわち、天皇に権力が集中するよう規定されていたのであるが、摂政・関白という天皇の代理者・補佐者の登場は、摂関家が天皇の統治権を請け負い始めたことを意味する。
English: In the period from the late ninth century to the beginning of the tenth century, when the regency became established, there were no particular threats either at home or abroad because the country took an isolationist policy toward foreign countries, and domestically, the subjugation of the Emishi (Japanese northerners) was almost completed, and the administration had entered a period of stability.
Japanese: 摂関政治が確立し始めた9世紀後期から10世紀初頭にかけては、国外へは鎖国主義を採り、国内でも蝦夷侵略がほぼ終結するなど、国内外に大きな脅威がなくなり、国政も安定期に入っていた。
English: From this reason, performing court events and ceremonies according to precedent or personnel decisions were given a greater importance in politics rather than actively carrying out policies.
Japanese: そのため、積極的な政策展開よりも行事や儀式の先例通りの遂行や人事決定が政治の中で大きなウェイトを占めることとなった。
English: Also, military power started to be decentralized, such events such as the regent's house taking the militarily powerful Seiwa-Genji (Minamoto clan) into its service, while the official military force grew weaker.
Japanese: また、公的な軍事力が低下する反面、摂関家は、武力に秀でた清和源氏を家来とするなど、軍事力の分散化が見られ出した。
English: That is, the more stable the administration became, the more routine managing the government became, and that made it possible to devolve the emperor's power to exercise sovereignty to his subjects.
Japanese: すなわち、国政の安定に伴い政治運営がルーティーン化していき、天皇の大権を臣下へ委譲することが可能となった。
English: In these circumstances, it was the Northern House of the Fujiwara clan that swam with the tide, succeeded in being handed over the power to exercise sovereignty, and ended up not only monopolizing privileges but also maintaining its own military force.
Japanese: その中で、うまく時流に乗った藤原北家が大権の委譲を受けることに成功し、その特権を独占するとともに、独自の軍事力を保有するに至った。
English: Because the regent's house took the power to exercise sovereignty, the other family lines became unable to get ahead and survived as nobles by being in charge of a particular field of work.
Japanese: 摂関家が統治権を握ることにより、他の家系は出世の見込みがなくなり、特定の業務を担当することで貴族としての生き残りを図っていった。
English: Since the early days of government based on the ritsuryo legal codes, when cloistered government had not yet been formed, the retired emperor had taken the role of the emperor's protector and guardian upon himself as 'the patriarch of the emperor's family.'
Japanese: 院政の形態は存在しなくても律令政治初期の頃から、上皇が「天皇家の家父長」として天皇の保護者・後見者を担ってきた。
English: One can say that in the regency, that function moved from the paternal line to the maternal line, and then moved back to the paternal line again in the cloistered government
Japanese: 摂関政治ではそれが父系から母系に移り、院政で再び父系に移ったと考えることも出来るのである。
English: (It was far from a coincidence that the death of the Retired Emperor Saga, who had patriarchal authority, was the start of FUJIWARA no Yoshifusa's taking over power, and that the regency stagnated for a while in the reign of Emperor Daigo, when the Cloistered Emperor Uda was supporting him as a patriarch, and also that the Retired Emperor Shirakawa, in a revival of the patriarchal retired emperor that had disappeared for a long time, started cloistered government in place of the regency.)
Japanese: （藤原良房の権力掌握開始が家父長的権力を有した嵯峨上皇の崩御に始まり、宇多法皇が家父長として背後にあった醍醐天皇の時代に一時摂関政治が停滞し、久しく絶えていた家父長的な上皇の復活である白河上皇が摂関政治に代わる院政を開始した事は偶然では決して片付けられないものである）。
English: Also, backed by the country's stable administration, the decentralization of power became obvious, and there were examples such as someone who had received an official announcement of appointment as a local authority transferring that power so they could exercise sovereignty in the region to an influential local person.
Japanese: また、国政の安定を背景に、権力の分散化も顕著となっていき、例えば、地方官の辞令を受けた者から現地の有力者へその地方の統治権が委任されるといった動きも見られた。
English: The "Otenmon no Hen" (the Otenmon gate incident) was a political incident which happened in 866, in the early Heian period.
Japanese: 応天門の変（おうてんもんのへん）は、平安時代前期の貞観_(日本)8年（866年）に起こった政治事件である。
English: The Otenmon gate was set on fire, and TOMO no Yoshio, the Dainagon (chief councilor of state), accused a noble MINAMOTO no Makoto, the Sadaijin (minister of the left), of committing arson.
Japanese: 応天門が放火され、大納言伴善男は左大臣源信_(公卿)の犯行であると告発した。
English: Later on, TOMO no Yoshio and his son fell under suspicion as the result of a tip from an informant, they were later convicted and faced banishment.
Japanese: その後、密告があり伴善男父子に嫌疑がかけられ、有罪となり流刑に処された。
English: In 864, TOMO no Yoshio tried to make a federal case based on the rumour of rebellion by MINAMOTO no Makoto, but this did not get taken up.
Japanese: 864年に伴善男は源信に謀反の噂があると言い立てたが、これは取り上げられなかった。
English: In April 28, 866, an incident occurred in which Otenmon gate was set alight and destroyed.
Japanese: 866年4月28日（貞観8年閏3月10日）、応天門が放火炎上する事件が起こる。
English: The Otenmon gate was built by the Otomo clan (the Tomo clan), so he said MINAMOTO no Makoto cursed the Tomo clan and set fire to it.
Japanese: 応天門は大伴氏（伴氏）が造営したもので、源信が伴氏をのろって火をつけたものだとされた。
English: Members of the house of MINAMOTO no Makoto, the Sadaijin, who were accused of the crime, were devastated and distressed.
Japanese: 放火の罪を着せられた左大臣源信家の人々は絶望して大いに嘆き悲しんだ。
English: When FUJIWARA no Mototsune, the Sangi (government adviser) mentioned this to his father, FUJIWARA no Yoshifusa, the Taisei Daijin, the surprised Yoshifusa went before the Emperor Seiwa and defended MINAMOTO no Makoto.
Japanese: 参議藤原基経がこれを父の太政大臣藤原良房に告げると、驚いた良房は清和天皇に奏上して源信を弁護した。
English: On August 3, OYAKE no Takatori, the Gon no shisho (an assistant doing miscellaneous duties about documents) of Bicchu Province, came forth claiming that the arsonists of Otenmon gate were TOMO no Yoshio and his son TOMO no Nakatsune.
Japanese: 8月3日、備中国権史生の大宅鷹取が応天門の放火の犯人は伴善男とその子伴中庸であると訴え出る。
English: Takatori claimed that he saw Yoshio, Nakatsune, and Toyokiyo, the Zoshiki (low-level functionary) run away from the front of the Otenmon gate, which went up in flames directly after.
Japanese: 鷹取は応天門の前から善男と中庸、雑色の豊清の3人が走り去ったのを見て、その直後に門が炎上したと申し出た。
English: It is said that Takatori held Yoshio responsible for his children being killed by Yoshio's attendant male servant, IKUE no Tsuneyama.
Japanese: 鷹取の子女が善男の従僕生江恒山に殺されたことを恨んでいたと言われる。
English: (Another theory is that Takatori blamed Yoshio because Takatori's child argued with a child of Yoshio's treasurer who then punched Takatori's child almost till death.)
Japanese: （鷹取が子が善男の出納の子供と喧嘩して、その出納が鷹取の子を死ぬほど殴りつけたのを恨んでのことともされる。
English: TOMO no Yoshio, TOMO no Nakatsune, IKUE no Tsuneyama, and TOMO no Kiyotada were arrested and interrogated (possibly tortured by continuous whipping), however, they denied having committed the crime.
Japanese: 伴善男、伴中庸、生江恒山、伴清縄らが捕らえられ厳しく尋問されるが（杖で打ち続けられる拷問を受けていた可能性もあり）、彼らは犯行を認めなかった。
English: On September 22, the court found TOMO no Yoshio and others guilty of the arson of the Otenmon gate, and their punishment was banishment, rather than the death penalty or that of a first degree crime.
Japanese: 9月22日、朝廷は伴善男らを応天門の放火の犯人であると断罪して死罪、罪一等を許されて流罪と決した。
English: TOMO no Yoshio was sent to Izu Province, TOMO no Nakatsune to Oki Province, KI no Toyoki to Awa Province, TOMO no Akimi to Iki Province, TOMO no Kiyotada to Sado Province, and KI no Natsui and others who were implicated were also punished.
Japanese: 伴善男は伊豆国、伴中庸は隠岐国、紀豊城は安房国、伴秋実は壱岐国、伴清縄は佐渡国に流され、連座した紀夏井らが処分された。
English: Also, FUJIWARA no Yoshifusa ended up gaining total control over of the court due to the sudden deaths of both the ministers of the right and left, MINAMOTO no Makoto and FUJIWARA no Yoshimi, not long after this disciplinary action was carried out.
Japanese: また、この処分から程無く源信・藤原良相の左右両大臣が急死したために藤原良房が朝廷の全権を把握する事になった。
English: FUJIWARA no Yoshifusa, who dealt with this incident, ostracized proponent officials of the Tomo clan and the Ki clan, and succeeded in expanding the Fujiwara clan's power by becoming the regent of the Emperor Seiwa after the incident.
Japanese: この事件の処理に当たった藤原良房は、伴氏・紀氏の有力官人を排斥し、事件後には清和天皇の摂政となり藤原氏の勢力を拡大することに成功した。
English: Akebonotei Jiken, which occurred in Kyoto at the end of the Edo period, was an incident where a retainer of the Tosa clan was wounded and committed suicide, together with a retainer of the Aizu clan who also committed suicide with his own sword, which resulted from mis-information during an operation to arrest masterless samurai from the Choshu clan.
Japanese: 明保野亭事件（あけぼのていじけん）は、幕末の京都において発生した、長州系浪士捕縛活動においての誤報に起因する土佐藩士傷害・切腹と、それに伴う会津藩士自刃事件である。
English: On July 13, 1864, Shinsengumi (a group who guarded Kyoto during the end of Tokugawa Shogunate) received an order from the bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun) to arrest the remnants of those at the Ikedaya Incident, and on the same day, Shinsengumi received information that masterless samurai of Choshu clan were hidden in the restaurant Akebono (which was written 明保野 or 曙) in Higashiyama Ward.
Japanese: 1864年6月10日(旧暦)（1864年7月13日）に、幕府の命により池田屋事件の残党の捕縛を命じられた新選組が、同日に東山区の料亭・明保野（あけぼの、曙とも）に長州系浪士が潜伏するとの情報を得た。
English: Fifteen members of Shinsengumi led by Kanryusai TAKEDA and five out of twenty retainers of Aizu clan who had been dispatched the day before for supporting Shinsengumi went to arrest the masterless samurai.
Japanese: 武田観柳斎率いる新選組隊士15名と、前日より応援として派遣されていた会津藩士20名のうち5名が共に捕縛に向かった。
English: When at the scene, Tsukasa SHIBA, a retainer of Aizu clan, tried to control the samurai in a guest room, the samurai escaped, which prompted SHIBA to pursue and wound the samurai with a spear in an effort to catch the samurai.
Japanese: 現場で会津藩家中の柴司が、座敷にいた武士を制止しようとしたところ相手が逃げ出したため、取り押えようと追跡のうえ槍で傷を負わせた。
English: Soon after, the samurai was found to be Tokitaro ASADA (Tokijiro, in another opinion), a retainer of Tosa clan, and not a masterless samurai; therefore, he was released on the spot.
Japanese: 直後に相手が浪士ではなく土佐藩士麻田時太郎（時次郎、とする説もある）と判明したため、その場で解放した。
English: At first, Shiba's action was passed and the Aizu clan dispatched a doctor and a messenger to apologize to the Tosa clan; the Tosa clan responded by mentioning that Asada was also to blame for not having mentioned his name in the beginning.
Japanese: 当初、柴の行為に問題無しとして念のため会津藩から医師と謝罪の使者を送り、これに対し土佐藩側も最初に名乗らなかった麻田にも落ち度があると理解を示していた。
English: On June 11 (old calendar), however, ASADA was forced to commit seppuku by the Tosa clan for Shido-fukakugo (disobeying Bushido (the code of the samurai)), which infuriated young retainers of Tosa clan who clamored that the punishment was 'unfair,' their dissent was serious enough to harm the relationship between the Aizu clan and the Tosa clan.
Japanese: しかし、翌6月11日(旧暦)に麻田が「士道不覚悟」として藩により切腹させられたことにより、若い土佐藩士たちが「片手落ち」だと激昂し、会津・土佐の関係に亀裂が入りかねない事態へと発展した。
English: At last on June 12 (old calendar), Tsukasa SHIBA committed seppuku as a gesture of apology, preventing the relationship between the Aizu clan and the Tosa clan from being damaged.
Japanese: 結局6月12日(旧暦)に柴司が謝罪の意で切腹し、両者の関係悪化は回避された。
English: In those days, under the rule of the lord Yodo YAMAUCHI, the Tosa clan supported kobu-gattai (integration of the imperial court and the shogunate) and kept a good relationship with the Aizu clan, but also had power as Tosa kinnoto (loyalist clique of Tosa) which aimed to overthrow the bakufu; therefore, under those circumstances, the incident cast a shadow over the relationship between the two clans.
Japanese: 当時、土佐藩は藩主山内容堂のもと公武合体を支持しており、会津藩との関係も良好であったが、内部には土佐勤王党など倒幕を目論む勢力もあり、その中で起きた傷害事件はまさに両藩の関係に水を差すものであった。
English: Although Tsukasa SHIBA merely did his duty, he prevented the relationship between the two clans from being damaged, despite it costing his life.
Japanese: 柴司は自らの職務を遂行したのみであったが、自ら犠牲となる事で両者の関係悪化を食い止めた。
English: Like other restaurants in those days, Akebonotei served as both restaurant and hotel and was also frequently used by royalists who aimed to overthrow the bakufu in their closed sessions, which was the context of the incident.
Japanese: この事件の舞台となった明保野亭は当時、他にも多く見られた様に料亭と旅宿を兼ねており、倒幕の志士による密議にも多く利用されていたことが事件の背景にあったと考えられる。
English: Akebonotei still runs businesses, and a stone monument stands by it in Sannen-zaka Slope (or Sannei-zaka Slope), Kiyomizu, Higashiyama Ward, however, the original site is said to be been located slightly northeast of the current location.
Japanese: なお、明保野亭は現在も東山区清水三年坂（産寧坂）に石碑と共に店舗が現存するが、当時は現在よりもやや北東位置にあったとされている。
English: Songo-ikken was a case of dissension between the Imperial Court in Kyoto and the Edo Bakufu (Japanese feudal government, headed by a shogun) in the later Edo period of Japan.
Japanese: 尊号一件（そんごういっけん）とは、日本の江戸時代後期に起きた京都の朝廷と江戸の江戸幕府との間に発生した紛議事件である。
English: However, when the Emperor Gomomozono (who had no sons) passed away, Kokaku was adopted and ascended to the throne, which gave him a higher rank than his own father.
Japanese: が、後桃園天皇が崩御したときに皇子がいなかったためにその養子となって即位したことにより、父よりも位が上になってしまった。
English: The Emperor Kokaku was disgruntled about the fact that the emperor's father had to show respect the line of regents and advisers who were the subordinates of the emperor.
Japanese: 天皇の父が臣下である摂関家を目上としなければならない事に対しても天皇は不満を抱いた。
English: However, "Kinchu narabini kuge shohatto" were the progenitor law for the Edo Bakufu, as ordained by the first Shogun, Ieyasu TOKUGAWA.
Japanese: だが、禁中並公家諸法度は江戸幕府にとっては初代徳川家康が定めた祖法である。
English: It was obvious that any amendment of this law would get rejected as it would affect the dignity of the Bakufu itself.
Japanese: その改正は幕府そのものの尊厳を傷つけるものとして拒絶してくる事は目に見えて明らかであった。
English: This is why the Emperor Kokaku tried to give the honorary title of Daijo Tenno (the Retired Emperor) to his real father, the Imperial Prince Sukehito.
Japanese: そこで光格天皇は実父典仁親王に対して太上天皇（上皇）の尊号を送ろうとした。
