Japanese: 貞親自身は『為愚息教訓一札』と命名しているように、彼が説いている事は伊勢氏の当主として必要であると思われた事を記した家訓であり、流布を目的に書かれたものではない。
English: The book systematically describes important points regarding the education of successors to samurai families, particularly the feudal lord's family, thereby giving Sadachika the title, "The Forefather of Daimyo Education."
Japanese: しかし、武家、特に大名家の後継者教育にとっては重要視されるべき点について体系的に論じられており、貞親が「“大名教育学”の祖」とされる所以である。

Japanese: これに対して犬追物は「越度（＝度を越した）なき」とし、猿楽は「よきほどに可斗」として深入りを戒めている。
English: The Ise clan, in particular, was mandokoro shitsuji and the family set the example for bukekojitsu (manners and rules for the samurai class); therefore, showing respect and courtesy was important in maintaining authority as a leader and Ise's position in the bakufu government.
Japanese: 特に伊勢氏は政所執事・武家故実宗家であり、日常的な部分より礼儀作法を重んじることは一族郎党に対する棟梁の権威を守り、幕府内部においての地位を保つために重要であることとする。

Japanese: 特に来客に対して不愉快にさせないことは、政治的な味方を1人でも多く得る（逆に考えれば敵対者を生み出さない）上でも必要であるとしている。
English: The above four points: "Reverence to God and Buddha," "Relationship between leaders and followers in private and public settings," "Education focusing on the military and cultural arts," and "Courtesy on a daily basis" are fundamental in the education of samurai families in general, not only the Ise clan, and the book greatly influenced later generations, along with "Hojo Shigetoki Kakun" ("A family precept by Shigetoki HOJO").
Japanese: 以上の「神仏への崇敬」「公私における主従関係の徹底」「武芸を重視した教養の習得」「日常からの礼儀作法の厳守」という4点は、伊勢氏に限らず武家一般の基本的なあり方について論じている部分が多く、鎌倉幕府の北条重時による『北条重時家訓』と並んで後世に影響を与えた。

English: As FUJIWARA no Yorinaga criticized his brother, Ieakira, being 'shodaibu no senjo' (a low ranking official who was promoted ｑuickly) when Ieakira was appointed sashosho (Major General of the left), inner palace guard was a position held by an upper class nobleman.

English: According to the "Gukansho," Narichika was considered a young court noble of no significance.
Japanese: 『愚管抄』によれば、「フヨウ（取るに足らない）ノ若殿上人」とみなされたという。
English: However, in August of the same year, TAIRA no Tokitada's conspiracy involving Norihito's (later Emperor Takakura) rittaishi (the investiture of the Crown Prince) was uncovered and Emperor Nijo immediately removed Goshirakawa's attendants from their positions.
Japanese: しかし同年7月に、平時忠らによる憲仁（後の高倉天皇）立太子の陰謀が発覚すると、二条天皇はただちに後白河の近臣を解官した。
English: Narichika was included with them, and although he was recalled to his position in the following year, further promotion was frozen, and while Emperor Nijo ruled, he had no choice but to bide his time.

English: The event itself was small, but in Mino Province there were many manors which were in possession of Enryaku-ji Temple, and Goshirakawa had been working to control those manors through the kokushi (local governor) who were his attendants, so Enryaku-ji Temple sought to have Narichika exiled and Masatomo detained.
Japanese: 事件自体は小さなものだったが美濃国は延暦寺の荘園が多く、後白河は国司に院近臣を任じて荘園抑止の政策をとっていた経緯もあり、延暦寺は成親の配流と政友の禁獄を求めて強訴を起こした。

Japanese: 翌年、正二位に叙せられ、安元元年（1175年）に権大納言に昇進した。

Japanese: 安元2年（1176年）7月に平滋子が死去したことで、後白河と平氏の対立はしだいに顕在化する。
English: The conflict reached the boiling point with the Hakusan Incident in May 1177.
Japanese: その対立は、安元3年（1177年）4月の白山事件により決定的なものとなった。
English: While Enryaku-ji Temple demanded the exile of FUJIWARA no Morotaka, the governor of Kaga Province, Morotaka's father Saiko, suggested that Goshirakawa punish Myoun, Tendaizasu (The chief priest of Enryaku-ji Temple), and the feud between the retired emperor and Enryaku-ji Temple became increasingly severe.
Japanese: 延暦寺が加賀守・藤原師高の流罪を要求して強訴を起こしたのに対して、師高の父・西光は天台座主・明雲の処罰を後白河に進言するなど、院と延暦寺の抗争は激化していた。
English: While Kiyomori came to Kyoto to prepare to attack Enryaku-ji Temple on order from Goshirakawa, Narichika was suddenly arrested by Kiyomori.
Japanese: 清盛が上洛して、後白河の命令を受けて延暦寺攻撃の準備を進める中、6月1日成親は突然、清盛によって逮捕された。
English: The "Gukansho" gives a description of the incidents: "When Narichika arrived at the palace and greeted Shigemori and Yorimori, who were in the seats of Kugyo, he was tied up by TAIRA no Moritoshi and confined in a room.
Japanese: 『愚管抄』によれば、成親は「何事ニカメシノ候ヘバ見参ハセン（何事か御召しがあったので参りました）」と公卿座にいた重盛・頼盛に挨拶して奥に入ったところ、清盛の家人・平盛俊に縄をかけられ部屋に押し込められてしまった。
English: Surprised. Shigemori comforted Narichika telling him 'not to worry; your life will be saved.'"
Japanese: 驚いた重盛が「コノタビモ御命バカリノ事ハ申候ハンズルゾ（今度も命だけは申し受けます）」と励ましたという。
English: The group of priests, who were in Nishisakamoto at the time, expressed their thanks to Kiyomori, telling him they were "grateful to have had our enemy avenged."
Japanese: 西坂本まで下っていた大衆は「敵を討っていただいたことは喜ばしい」と、清盛に返礼を述べている。
English: In the "Hyakurensho" and "Gukansho" are statements that support the theory that Narichika conspired to subdue the Taira clan.
Japanese: 『百錬抄』が「成親卿已下密謀有るの由」、『愚管抄』が「成親、西光、俊寛ナド聚（あつま）リテヤウヤウノ議ヲシケルト云事ノ聞エケル」と記しており、平氏打倒の謀議があったことは事実と思われる。
English: The reason for Narichika's conspiracy is explained in the "Tale of Heike," as follows: When Narichika expressed the desire to take the post from which FUJIWARA no Moronaga had resigned, the two brothers, TAIRA no Shigemori and Munemori, were appointed Generals of the right and left, for which Narichika held a grudge.
Japanese: 成親が陰謀を企てた理由として、『平家物語』は近衛府の藤原師長の辞職した後任を所望したところ、平重盛と平宗盛の兄弟が左右大将に任命されたことを恨みとしたとする。
English: However, only very few families were of the class qualified to furnish Generals, and for Narichika to desire such a position at his rank was unrealistic, so this theory may be questioned.
Japanese: しかし、大将になれるのは限られた家柄のみであり、成親の身分で大将を望むのは現実的でなく事実かどうか疑わしい。
English: The same story is noted in the "Tale of Heiji", and because Tale of Heike and Tale of Heiji were written at about the same time, there is a possibility of it being literary fiction.
Japanese: 同じ話は『平治物語』にも信頼の逸話として見え、『平治物語』と『平家物語』の成立は同時期と考えられることから、双方ともに文学的虚構である可能性も否定できない。
English: He received support from Shigemori, being presented with clothing, until he died on August 11.("Hyakurensho")
Japanese: 重盛から衣類を送られるなどの援助を受けていたが、7月9日に死去した（『百錬抄』）。
English: Tsuneyori TO (1401 - April 20, 1484) was a busho (Japanese territorial lord) and Tanka poet during the Muromachi period.
Japanese: 東常縁（とうつねより：1401年（応永8年）？-1484年4月11日（文明(日本)16年3月16日(旧暦)））は、室町時代の武将であり、歌人でもある。
English: His ancestor, Taneyuki TO, was a son-in-law to FUJIWARA no Tamesue, and the To clan is related by blood to FUJIWARA no Sadaie through the female line.
Japanese: 先祖の東　胤行は藤原為家の娘婿にあたり、東氏は女系ながら藤原定家の血をひく。
English: Tsuneyori studied waka (31-syllable Japanese poems) from Shotetsu SEIGAN of the Reizei sect, and became an official disciple of Gyoko of the Nijo Sect in 1450.
Japanese: 冷泉派の清巌正徹にも和歌を学ぶが、1450年（宝徳2年）正式に二条派の尭孝（ぎょうこう）の門弟となる。
English: In 1455, internal strife within the Chiba clan, the head family of the To clan, broke out in Shimotsuke Province, and as ordered by Yoshimasa ASHIKAGA, the Barbarian-subduing General, Tsuneyori supported the bereaved children of Tanekata Chiba, Sanetaka and Yoritaka, and fought in the Kanto area.
Japanese: 1455年（康正元年）下総国で起きた本家にあたる千葉氏の内紛を収めるため、征夷大将軍足利義政の命により、嫡流の千葉胤賢の遺児千葉実胤と千葉自胤を支援し関東を転戦した。
English: However, because Shigeuji ASHIKAGA, the Koga kubo, took actions against Tsuneyori, the result had not been good.
Japanese: だが、古河公方足利成氏が常縁に敵対的な介入を図ったために、成果は芳しくなかった。
English: Furthermore, the Onin War broke out while he was in Kanto, and his land in Gujo, Mino Province was taken over by Myochin SAITO, who supported Shigeyori TOKI, a shugo (guard).
Japanese: 更に、関東滞在中に応仁の乱が発生し、所領である美濃国郡上を守護土岐成頼を擁する斎藤妙椿に奪われた。
English: Tsuneyori TO is seen as the forefather of Kokin Denju; however, he did not teach poetry, but disseminated the orthodox teachings of the Nijo sect waka poetry.
Japanese: 東　常縁は、古今伝授の祖として注目されるが、当時の歌壇の指導者であったわけではなく、むしろ二条派歌学の正説を伝えた歌学者としての功績が大きい。
English: Fujiwara no Nariko (1117 - December 29, 1160) was a "kokubo" (an empress dowager) in the late Heian period.
Japanese: 藤原得子（ふじわらのなりこ、永久(元号)5年（1117年）-永暦元年11月23日(旧暦)（1160年12月22日））は平安時代後期の国母。
English: She was born in the Fujiwara clan Sueshige school (a descendant of FUJIWARA no Uona) and was a granddaughter of rokujo daibu FUJIWARA no Akisue (1055 - 1123).
Japanese: 藤原氏末茂流（藤原魚名の後裔）に生まれ、六条大夫藤原顕季（1055-1123）の孫娘にあたる。
English: She gave birth to Imperial Princesses Eishi and Akiko (Akiko was also called Hachijo-in), and finally to Imperial Prince Narihito (the seventy-sixth Japanese emperor, Emperor Konoe) on June 23, 1139.
Japanese: 叡子・暲子（八条院）の両内親王を生んだ後、保延5年（1139年）5月18日(旧暦)、待望の皇子躰仁親王（第76代近衛天皇）を出産。
English: Toba-in had Prince Narihito become crown prince for Emperor Sutoku, the emperor at that time, on September 25 of the same year, forced Emperor Sutoku to abdicate from the crown on January 12, 1142, and let Emperor Konoe assume the throne.
Japanese: 同年8月17日(旧暦)、鳥羽院は躰仁親王を時の帝崇徳天皇の皇太弟とし、永治元年（1141年）12月7日(旧暦)、崇徳天皇に譲位を迫り、近衛天皇を即位させた。
English: Nariko became "nyogo" (a court title given to a consort of the Emperor) as Narihito's togu sakuritsu (formal decision of Crown Prince) took effect, and in the year when Konoe was appointed Emperor, she became Kisainomiya because she was the kokubo (mother of Emperor Konoe); furthermore, on September 13, 1149, she was given an ingo Bifukumon-in, and gained more power than FUJIWARA no Shoshi (Taikenmon-in), whom Cloistered Emperor Toba had earlier decided to formally appoint chugu (Emperor's wife).
Japanese: 躰仁の東宮冊立とともに女御となった得子は、近衛即位の同年、国母であることから皇后宮に立てられ、さらに久安5年（1149年）8月3日(旧暦)、美福門院の院号を宣下され、鳥羽法皇の先立の中宮藤原璋子（待賢門院）を凌ぐ権勢を持つようになる。
English: Emperor Konoe was inclined to ill health and finally experienced premature death on August 29, 1155.
Japanese: 病気がちだった近衛天皇が久寿2年（1155年）7月23日(旧暦)に夭折してしまう。
English: Bifukumon-in had two adopted sons, both of whom she had been nursing since they were babies in arms; one was Imperial Prince Shigehito, the first son of the Retired Emperor Sutoku, and the other was Prince Morihito (the seventy-eighth Japanese emperor, Emperor Nijo), the first son of Imperial Prince Masahito (the seventy-seventh Japanese emperor, Emperor Goshirakawa), who was a younger brother of the Retired Emperor Sutoku.
Japanese: 美福門院には崇徳上皇の第一皇子の重仁親王と上皇の弟・雅仁親王（後の第77代後白河天皇）の第一皇子・守仁王（第78代二条天皇）という乳飲み子のうちから養育してきた二人の養子がいた。
English: The latter of the two adopted sons was decided to become a priest under the auspices of Cloisterd Imperial Prince Kakusho in Ninna-ji Temple, Imperial Prince Shigehito was thought to assume the throne.
Japanese: このうち後者は既に仁和寺の覚性法親王の元で出家することが決まっていたために、重仁親王が即位するものだと思われた。
English: However, Bifukumon-in and the Cloistered Emperor Toba expressed deep resentment when they heard a rumor that Emperor Konoe died because of a curse by the Retired Emperor Sutoku, FUJIWARA no Tadazane, and his son FUJIWARA no Yorinaga.
Japanese: ところが、美福門院と鳥羽法皇は近衛天皇の死が崇徳上皇や藤原忠実・藤原頼長父子の呪詛によるものとの噂を聞いて大いに怨んだ。
English: Therefore, the Cloistered Emperor Toba had his fourth son, Imperial Prince Masahito (Emperor Goshirakawa), assume the throne.
Japanese: そのため、鳥羽法皇は自分の第四皇子である雅仁親王（後白河天皇）を即位させてしまう。
English: The Cloistered Emperor was thought to have intended to call off the enthronement of Imperial Prince Shigehito and to support Prince Morihito (Emperor Nijo); and thereafter, a marriage of Prince Morihito and Imperial Princess Shushi, the youngest daughter of the Cloistered Emperor (and her mother was Bifukumon-in), was arranged.
Japanese: 法皇の意図は、重仁親王の即位を取りやめて守仁王（二条天皇）を擁立する事にあったと思われ、その後守仁王と法皇の末娘しゅ子内親王（母は美福門院）との縁談も決められた。
English: In the military epic "The Tale of Hogen", Bifukumon-in was reported to have encouraged the Cloistered Emperor Toba to have Imperial Prince Masahito assume the throne, and this story is quite popular; however, other records of that date as well as history books, including "Gukansho" and "Imakagami," indicate that succession to the imperial throne of Emperor Konoe was decided mainly by the Cloistered Emperor Toba and FUJIWARA no Tadamichi; therefore, although such records suggest that the imperial succession was pursued in consideration of her grief, there is no evidence that supports the idea that she was directly involved in the decision of the imperial succession.
Japanese: 軍記物語である『保元物語』においては、美福門院は鳥羽法皇に働きかけて雅仁親王即位に至ったと書かれており、この話が広く知られているが、当時の記録類や『愚管抄』・『今鏡』などの歴史書では、近衛天皇の次の皇位継承は専ら鳥羽法皇と藤原忠通が主導して決定したと記述されており、彼女の悲嘆を配慮に入れた皇位継承が行われた事が想像されるものの、彼女が直接皇位継承に関与したとする史料的裏付けは存在しない。
English: In this way, the Retired Emperor Sutoku, who became frustrated after having been excluded from the decision of the imperial succession, became associated with Yorinaga, who was kept at a distance from the Cloistered Emperor Toba by Bifukumon-in, and with Yorinaga's father Tadazane; and the Hogen War broke out immediately after the demise of Toba-in on August 2, 1156.
Japanese: こうして皇位継承から排除され不満が募る崇徳上皇と、美福門院によって鳥羽法皇から遠ざけられた頼長とその父忠実が結びつき、保元元年（1156年）7月8日(旧暦)、鳥羽院の崩後まもなく、保元の乱が勃発。
English: Although Bifukumon-in had already become a nun, she showed very good strategic abilities in this war; i.e., she summoned even TAIRA no Kiyomori and his brother, whose names were not given in the last words of the Cloistered Emperor Toba because their mother was the nursemaid of Imperial Prince Shigehito, and finally led Emperor Goshirakawa's part to victory.
Japanese: 美福門院はすでに落飾していたが、この乱においては卓抜な戦略的手腕を見せ、重仁親王の乳母子ゆえに鳥羽法皇の遺命では名が挙げられなかった平清盛兄弟をも招致し、後白河天皇方の最終的な勝利へ導いた。
