English: In 1541, Toshimasa (Dosan) poisoned Yorimitsu TOKI (Yorinari's younger brother) to death, which caused a conflict between Yorinari and Toshimasa (Dosan).
Japanese: 天文10年（1541年）、利政による土岐頼満（頼芸の弟）の毒殺が契機となって、頼芸と利政との対立抗争が開始した。
English: Though Toshimasa (Dosan) was in a difficult situation for a short time, he attacked Yorinari's residence of Oga-jo Castle and expelled Yorinari and his son, Jiro, to Owari Province, and he became a virtual ruler of the Mino Province.
Japanese: 一時は利政が窮地に立たされたりもしたが、天文11年（1542年）に利政は頼芸の居城大桑城を攻め、頼芸とその子の次郎を尾張国へ追放して、事実上の美濃国主となったとされている。
English: However, there is a recent, alternative view which claims that it was Jiro who was expelled to Owari Province, and that Yorinari stayed in Mino at that time, holding his position as a puppet shugo.
Japanese: ただし、近年では尾張国に追放されたのは次郎であって、頼芸はこの段階では美濃に留まって傀儡の守護としてその地位を保っていたとする異説もある。
English: However, Yorinari gained Nobuhide ODA's support and became and ally of Masayori, who had been banished and was under the protection of Kagetaka ASAKURA (the tenth master of the [ASAKURA] family); with the help of the ASAKURA and ODA clans, Yorinari and Masayori invaded Mino Province under the excuse of returning to Mino.
Japanese: しかし織田信秀の後援を得た頼芸は、先に追放され朝倉孝景(10代当主)の庇護を受けていた政頼と連携を結ぶと、両者は、美濃復帰を大義名分に掲げて朝倉氏と織田氏の援助を背景として、美濃へ侵攻した。
English: In September, 1547, Nobuhide ODA set off a large-scale attack against Toshimasa (Dosan) at Inabayama-jo Castle, but Toshimasa (Dosan) shut off the Castle completely and drove the ODA army to the brink of destruction. (Battle of Kanoguchi).
Japanese: 天文16年（1547年）9月には織田信秀が大規模な稲葉山城攻めを仕掛けたが、利政は籠城戦で織田軍を壊滅寸前にまで追い込んだ（加納口の戦い）。
English: Toshimasa (Dosan) made peace with Nobuhide ODA under these circumstances, and he sent his daughter, Kicho, to marry Nobuhide's eldest son, Nobunaga ODA, in 1548.
Japanese: この情勢下において、利政は織田信秀と和睦し、天文17年（1548年）に娘の帰蝶を信秀の嫡子織田信長に嫁がせた。
English: According to "Shincho Koki" (biography of Nobunaga ODA), Toshimasa (Dosan) was very surprised when he met Nobunaga at Shotoku-ji Temple (present-day Tomida, Ichinomiya City (former Nishio City), Aichi Prefecture) after Kicho married Nobunaga, because even though Nobunaga was known as empty-headed he showed up formally dressed and he had his guards equipped with many rifles; Toshimasa SAITO (Dosan) anticipated a bright future for Nobunaga and said, "My sons will be tying that empty-headed man's (Nobunanga's) horse."
Japanese: 帰蝶を信長に嫁がせた後の聖徳寺（現在の愛知県一宮市（旧尾西市）冨田）で会見した際、「うつけ者」と評されていた信長が多数の鉄砲を護衛に装備させ正装で訪れたことに大変驚き、斎藤利政は信長を見込むと同時に、「我が子たちはあのうつけ（信長）の馬をつなぐようになる」と述べたと信長公記にある。
English: Because of this reconciliation Toshimasa (Dosan) gained support of the ODA family and defeated the rebels who were against him, including the head of Aiba-jo Castle, Kageoki NAGAYA, and the head of Ibi-jo Castle, Mitsuchika IBI; furthermore, he expelled Yorinari TOKI, who had remained in the Ibi Kitakata-jo Castle, once again to Owari Province, and he completely restored order in Mino Province.
Japanese: この和睦により、織田家の後援を受けて利政に反逆していた相羽城主長屋景興や揖斐城主揖斐光親らを滅ぼし、さらに揖斐北方城にとどまっていた土岐頼芸を天文21年（1552年）に再び尾張へ追放し、美濃を完全に平定した。
English: After order was restored in Mino, there appeared a scribbling on the Nanamagari Hyakumagari entrance of the Inabayama-jo Castle as follows: "To slay your master and to kill your son-in-law mean the end of your body [a word play on Mino and Owari].
Japanese: 美濃平定後、稲葉山城の七曲百曲口に「主を斬り、婿を殺すは身の（美濃）おはり（尾張）。
English: These words imply that what Dosan did was an equal match to the way Tadamune OSADA of Owari Province murdered his former master, MINAMOTO no Yoshitomo, during the battle between MINAMOTO and TAIRA families.
Japanese: これは源平合戦の頃、尾張の長田忠致が旧主の源義朝を謀殺したことと、道三の行状が匹敵するということを謡っている。
English: In 1554, Toshimasa (Dosan) passed on his family estate to his son, Yoshitatsu SAITO, shaved his head at Jozai-ji Temple to enter Buddhist priesthood, named himself Dosan and went into retirement at Sagiyama-jo Castle.
Japanese: 天文23年（1554年）、利政は家督を子の斎藤義龍へ譲り、自らは常在寺で剃髪入道を遂げて道三と号し、鷺山城に隠居した。
English: However, Dosan favored Yoshitatsu's younger brothers Tatsushige and Tatsusada over Yoshitatsu, and it is said that he finally began to think about eliminating Yoshitatsu as the head of the family.
Japanese: しかし道三は義龍よりも、その弟である龍重や龍定を偏愛し、ついに義龍の廃嫡を考え始めたとされる。
English: The conflict between Dosan and Yoshitatsu became evident, and in 1555, Yoshitatsu killed his younger brothers and raised his army against Dosan.
Japanese: 道三と義龍の不和は顕在化し、弘治元年（1555年）に義龍は弟たちを殺害し、道三に対して挙兵する。
English: There is a view that the conflict arose because Yoshitatsu was not Dosan's real son but a son of Yorinari TOKI.
Japanese: 道三と義龍との不和は、義龍が道三の実子ではなく土岐頼芸の子であったからだとする説がある。
English: This is because Yoshitatsu was born in 1527, and his mother, Miyoshino, gave birth to him within a year since Yorinari TOKI gave her away to Dosan.
Japanese: 義龍は大永7年（1527年）の出生で、母の深芳野が土岐頼芸から道三に下げ渡されてから1年以内の出生のためである。
English: There were virtually no retainers of the old TOKI clan who wanted to support Dosan because of the way he gained Mino; in April of 1556, Yoshitatsu's army of 17,000 warriors fought Dosan's army of only 7,000 men at Nagara-gawa River (Battle of Nagara-gawa River), and even though Dosan's son-in-law, Nobunaga, sent his army to help it did not reach the battle in time, and Dosan died in the lopsided battle.
Japanese: 国盗りの経緯から道三に味方しようとする旧土岐家家臣団はほとんどおらず、翌弘治2年（1556年）4月、1万7千の兵を率いる義龍に対し、7千の兵の道三が長良川河畔で戦い（長良川の戦い）、娘婿の信長が援軍を派兵したものの間に合わずに衆寡敵せず、戦死した。
English: Even though Yorinari TOKI was said to be incompetent many former retainers were still loyal to the TOKI clan, and even after Dosan restored order in Mino he was always troubled by those who posed a threat, which led to a difficulty in ruling the province.
Japanese: 土岐頼芸は無能だったが、土岐家自体を慕う旧臣は多く、道三は美濃平定後も常に不穏分子に悩まされ、国内統制に苦慮している。
English: This is why Dosan ruled by forcible measures such as killing petty criminals by splitting their bodies using bulls or boiling them in a big iron pot.
Japanese: そのため、微罪の者を牛裂き、釜茹での刑に処するなどの強権政治を行なっている。
English: Shizuo KATSUMATA expresses the following opinion regarding Yoshitatsu's succession to Dosan's family: Dosan's ruthless behavior caused dissatisfaction among his leading retainers, who, in turn, instigated a political change that supported Yoshitatsu, and as a result, Dosan was merely driven out of his position as the head of the clan.
Japanese: 勝俣鎮夫は道三から義竜への家督譲渡の背景には、実はこうした残酷な道三の姿勢に不満を抱いた重臣達によって義竜を擁した政変が引き起こされて、道三はそれによって当主の座を追われたにすぎないとする説を唱えている。
English: According to "Shincho Koki," just before his death in the battle, Dosan left a will that stated that he would give Mino Province to Nobunaga.
Japanese: 戦死する直前、信長に対して美濃を譲り渡すという遺言書を残したと信長公記にある。
English: Dosan considered Yoshitatsu "incompetent," but when he saw the way Yoshitatsu gave commands at the Battle of Nagara-gawa River it is said that he changed his opinion and regretted [what he thought of Yoshitatsu].
Japanese: 道三は義龍を「無能」と評したが、長良川の戦いにおける義龍の采配を見て、その評価を改め、後悔したという。
English: Dosan's grave is located in Jozai-ji Temple, Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, and Dosan Zuka in the same city is also considered his grave.
Japanese: 道三の墓所は、岐阜県岐阜市の常在寺(岐阜市)に営まれているほか、同市の道三塚も道三墓所と伝えられている。
English: Later, in the Edo period, Hatamoto (direct retainers of a lord) INOUE and MATSUNAMI clans were said to be Dosan's descendants.
Japanese: 後に江戸時代には、旗本井上家や松波家などが道三子孫として伝えられていた。
English: Now, Dosan Festival has been held annually during the first half of April since 1972 in Gifu City to recall his great achievements for laying the foundation of the city.
Japanese: 現代に至ると、岐阜のまちづくりの基礎を成した道三の遺徳を偲び、昭和47年（1972年）から岐阜市にて毎年4月上旬に道三まつりが開催されている。

Japanese: 新春ワイド時代劇『国盗り物語新春ワイド時代劇版』（テレビ東京、2005北大路欣也）
English: Until the father-and-son two-generation view came about, Dosan's image was well established as a "Sengoku Daimyo who rose in the world from an oil-seller to a Daimyo"; because of this, in various folklores, oral literatures and creative works, including the ones produced after the two-generation view came about, Dosan was most often portrayed as "Dosan SAITO" in accordance with the single-generation view.
Japanese: 親子二代説が登場するまでは「油屋から身を立て大名にまでのしあがった戦国大名」という道三像が定着していたことから、各種の民間説話・伝承や、二代説登場後のものも含む多くの創作作品においては、一代説を前提とした「斎藤道三」というキャラクターが語られることが圧倒的に多い。
English: Dosan has been described as a consummate villain since the Edo Period, but it was Ango SAKAGUCHI who denied the traditional image of Dosan and described him as an pioneer of the era in his work "Kyouyu" (1953).
Japanese: 江戸時代から道三は極悪人として語られてきたが、そうした従来の道三像を止揚し、時代の先駆者としての道三像を描いたのは坂口安吾『梟雄』（1953年）だった。
English: However, it was "Kunitori Monogatari" (1971) by Ryotaro SHIBA as well as the NHK Taiga Drama by the same title (1973) that established the image of Dosan as a pioneer of the era.
Japanese: 時代の先駆者としての創作イメージを決定的に定着させたのは司馬遼太郎『国盗り物語』（1971年）であり、同名のNHK大河ドラマ（1973年）だった。
English: Since then, many creative works have been produced, including the ones that are based on the father-and-son two-generation view, but the trend continues in portraying [Dosan] as a man of strong character and as a pioneer and a reformer of the era.
Japanese: 親子二代説にもとづくものも含め、その後も多くの創作作品がつくられたが、強い個性を持ち、時代の先駆者・変革者としてのイメージで描かれる傾向は続いている。

Japanese: 小和田哲男「斎藤氏」項（『戦国大名370家出自事典』新人物往来社、1996。
English: Tomiko HINO (female, 1440 - June 30, 1496) is a historical figure who lived in the Muromachi period.
Japanese: 日野富子（ひのとみこ、女性、永享12年〔1440年〕-明応5年5月20日_(旧暦)〔1496年6月30日〕）は、室町時代の人物。
English: She came from the Hino family, which was related to the ruling Ashikaga family of the Muromachi shogunate, and Yoshimasa's birth mother, Shigeko HINO, was Tomiko's grandaunt.
Japanese: 室町幕府の足利将軍家と縁戚関係を持っていた日野家の出身で、義政の生母日野重子は富子の大叔母にあたる。
English: Tomiko became the lawful wife of Yoshimasa at the age of 16 on August 27 (by the lunar calendar), 1455, and gave birth to her first child on January 9 (by the lunar calendar), 1459, but the baby died on the same day.
Japanese: 富子も1455年（康正1）8月27日(旧暦)に16歳で義政の正室となり、1459年（長禄3）1月9日(旧暦)には第1子が生まれるが、その日のうちに夭折。
English: She blamed her baby's death on the Yoshimasa's wet nurse, Imamairi no Tsubone, saying the nurse put a curse on the baby, and banished her to the Okishima Island on Lake Biwa (the nurse killed herself with a sword on the way to the island), and in addition, purged Yoshimasa's four mistresses.
Japanese: それを義政の乳母の今参局が呪いを掛けたせいだとし、彼女を琵琶湖沖島に流罪とし（本人は途中で自刃）、更に義政の側室四人を追放する。
English: Her husband showed no interest in politics, so Tomiko became deeply involved in, and exerted an influence on, the shogunate government.
Japanese: 政治に興味を示さない夫に代わって幕政に深く関わり、影響力を行使した。
English: However, there was a rumor that Yoshihisa might not be Yoshimasa's son but that of Emperor Gotsuchimikado.
Japanese: ところが、義尚は義政の子ではなく後土御門天皇の子ではないかという噂が広まった。
English: The year before, Yoshimasa, who did not have a son, made his real younger brother Gijin return as a secular from a Buddhist priest. He changed this brother's name to Yoshimi ASHIKAGA while placing Katsumoto HOSOKAWA as his guardian. He also nominated Yoshimi as the shogun successor, which Tomiko did not like. This situation seems to have produced gossip, but whether it is true or not is unclear.
Japanese: これは、前年に男子の生まれない義政は実弟で仏門に入っていた義尋を還俗させ、名を足利義視と改めて細川勝元を後見に将軍後継者としていた事に対し、富子が反発していた事から来た噂のようだが、はっきりとしたことは分からない。
English: Fortunately, Yoshimasa did not hear it, but from around this time Tomiko became rumored to be a bad wife.
Japanese: 幸いにも義政の耳には入らなかったが、この頃から悪妻の噂が立ち始めた。
English: Backed up by the clout of her guardian Sozen YAMANA and her parents' family of Hinos, Tomiko endorsed Yoshihisa as the next shogun, which inevitably caused a conflict with Yoshimi over the shogunate succession, and this, coupled with the problem between the Shibas and Hatakeyamas over the succession of the family headship, contributed to the Onin War.
Japanese: 富子は後見の山名宗全や実家である日野家の権威を背景に、義尚を次期将軍に推し、将軍職継承をめぐっての義視との対立や斯波氏、畠山氏の家督相続問題が連携して応仁の乱の一因となった。
English: In 1476, after the Hana-no-Gosho residence (in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City) was burned down in the war, she moved to the Ogawa-Gosho residence (in Horikawa, Kamigyo Ward).
Japanese: 1476年（文明(日本)7）に花の御所（京都市上京区）が焼失すると小川御所（上京区堀川）へ移る。
English: Tomiko engaged in moneymaking activities, such as collecting tolls by setting up seven barriers in Kyoto (Nanakuchi-no-Seki), investing in the rice market, and taking bribes from loan sharks, and it was her financial power that enabled the Muromachi shogunate to function.
Japanese: 富子は京都七つ口に関所を作って関銭を徴集（七口の関）し、米相場や高利貸しからの賄賂を受けるなど利殖活動を行い、彼女の財力によって室町幕府が運営されていた。
English: However, these activities were not praised by the general public, and it was rumored that she was a bad wife so absorbed in moneymaking.
Japanese: だが、その活動に対する一般市民からの評価は決して高くなく、お金儲けに熱中した悪妻と囁かれた。
English: In 1489, Yoshihisa died while making an expedition to subdue Takayori ROKKAKU, which was followed by Yoshimasa's death.
Japanese: 1489年（延徳1）に六角高頼を討伐に遠征中の義尚が没し、次いで義政も没する。
English: So Yoshiki ASHIKAGA (later, Yoshitane ASHIKAGA), who was the son of Yoshimi and Tomiko's younger sister, was nominated for the shogun by Tomiko.
Japanese: そこで義視と自分の妹の間に生まれた足利義材（後の義稙）を将軍に擁立した。
English: In 1493, however, Tomiko carried out a coup with the help of Masamoto HOSAWA, dethroning Yoshiki and instead installing Yoshizumi ASHIKAGA, who was Yoshimasa's nephew and the son of Masatomo ASHIKAGA, the Horigoe-Kubo (Coup d'Etat in Meio) as shogun.
Japanese: だが、1493年（明応2）に細川政元と共にクーデターを起こし義材を廃し、義政の甥で堀越公方足利政知の子足利義澄を将軍に就ける（明応の政変）。
English: She is sometimes said to have been an evil millionairess and a bad wife, but her ability surely supported the shogunate's finances, so we might have to consider that her bad reputation has been influnced by the tendency of later generations to have come to look down on women and merchant activities.
Japanese: 巨万の富を築いた悪女・悪妻と評される事もあるが、その手腕で幕府財政を支えていたのは確かであり後世の女性蔑視・商業蔑視の影響を差し引いて考える必要があるだろう。
English: Meanwhile, particularly in recent years, some female historians and writers, influenced by feminism, have come to describe Tomiko as a capable female politician different from the exaggerated image.
Japanese: その一方、特に近年ではフェミニズムの影響を受けた女性史家や女流作家によって、実状とかけ離れた有能な女性政治家として表現されることもある。
English: Yoshiakira ASHIKAGA-July 4, 1330 AD to December 28, 1367 AD-was the 2nd Seii Taishogun of the Muromachi Shogunate.
Japanese: 足利義詮（あしかがよしあきら、元徳2年6月18日(旧暦)（1330年7月4日）-正平(日本)22年/貞治6年12月7日(旧暦)（1367年12月28日））は、室町幕府2代征夷大将軍。
English: His mother, Touko AKAHASHI, was the daughter of Hisatoki HOJO, and the younger sister of the last regent to the Kamakura Shogunate, Moritoki HOJO.
Japanese: 母は北条久時の娘の赤橋登子で、鎌倉幕府最後の執権北条守時の妹に当る。
English: When his father, Takauji, went to the capital as a general commander of the Kamakura Shogunate's army to suppress the force that Emperor Godaigo was raising on Mt. Senjo in Houki Province, he and his mother, Touko, were held in Kamakura as hostages of the Hojo clan.
Japanese: 伯耆国船上山にて挙兵した後醍醐天皇討伐のために父・尊氏が鎌倉幕府軍の総大将として上洛した際、母・登子とともに北条氏の人質として鎌倉へ留め置かれる。
English: When Takauji raised the standard of revolt against the Kamakura Shogunate in Tanba province and captured Kyoto's Rokuhara Tandai, young Yoshiakira (Senjuou) fled Kamakura, carried away by Hosokawa and other Ashikaga vassals, and with Yoshisada NITTA participated in the attack on Kamakura.
Japanese: 尊氏が丹波国で鎌倉幕府に反旗を翻し、京都の六波羅探題を攻略すると、幼い義詮（千寿王）は、細川氏などの足利家家臣に連れ出され鎌倉を脱出し、新田義貞に奉じられ鎌倉攻めに参加した。
English: On that occasion Senjuou acted as his father's representative and issued a certificate of loyal service to the samurai of the Kamakura attack participation with the assistance of the vassals, thereby marking the beginning of the Ashikaga's later recognition as a leader of the samurai.
Japanese: この際千寿王は、父・尊氏の名代として、家臣らの補佐により、鎌倉攻め参加の武士に対し軍忠状を発付し、後に足利氏が武家の棟梁として認知される端緒を作る。
English: Under the new Kenmu government he was placed in Kamakura with the support of his uncle, Tadayoshi ASHIKAGA, and fought the Southern Dynasty (Japan) alongside his father when Takauji became alienated from the Kenmu regime, mostly ruling the Kanto region in Kamakura.
Japanese: 建武の新政では、叔父である足利直義に支えられて鎌倉に置かれ、尊氏が建武政権から離反すると、父とともに南朝(日本)と戦い、主に鎌倉において関東を統治した。
English: After Takauji established the Ashikaga Shogunate, the opposition intensified between the Ashikaga family's Shituji (Shogun's deputy), Moronao KO, and Takauji's brother, Tadayoshi ASHIKAGA, and led to the Kanno Disturbance; then Tadayoshi fell to Moronao's coup and Yoshiakira was recalled to Kyoto and assumed control of the Shogunate in Tadayoshi's place.
Japanese: 尊氏による足利幕府開府後、足利家の執事である高師直と尊氏の弟の足利直義の対立が激化して観応の擾乱が起こり、師直のクーデタにより直義が失脚すると、義詮は京都へ呼び戻され直義に代わり幕府の政務を任される。
English: In 1351 Takauji and Yoshiakira capitulated to the Southern Dynasty and carried out the Shouhei Unification, changing the name of the era to the Southern Dynasty's "Shouhei", to antagonize the Tadayoshi faction.
Japanese: 1351年には、尊氏が直義派に対抗するために義詮と共に南朝に降伏し、年号を南朝の「正平」に統一する正平一統が行われる。
English: In the following year the Southern Dynasty's Chikafusa KITABATAKE and Masanori KUSUNOKI invaded Kyoto; and although three former Emperors, Kougon, Komyo, and Suko, were captured because Yoshiakira fled the capital and took refuge in Oumi province, he restored the name of the era to Kanno while recruiting an army to regain Kyoto, and enthroned Emperor Gokougon without the Three Sacred Treasures.
Japanese: 翌年に南朝の北畠親房や楠木正儀らが京都へ侵攻すると、義詮は京を逃れて近江国へ避難した結果、光厳天皇、光明天皇、崇光天皇の三太上天皇を奪われたが、観応の年号を復活させるとともに兵を募って京都を奪還し、三種の神器の無い状態で新たに後光厳天皇を即位させる。
English: He briefly lost Kyoto again in 1353 to an attack by Tadafuyu ASHIKAGA and Tokiuji YAMANA.
Japanese: また1353年にも足利直冬や山名時氏らの攻勢により、一時的に京都を奪われている。
English: In 1358 (Shohei 13/Enbun 3) Takauji died, and Yoshiakira became the Seii Taishogun.
Japanese: 1358年（正平(日本)13年/延文3年）に尊氏が没し、義詮は征夷大将軍に任命される。
English: Around that time the affairs of the Yamana and Ouchi clans of the Chugoku region were in disorder, while the influence of the Southern Dynasty such as Prince Kanenaga was intact in Kyushu.
Japanese: この頃には中国地方の山名氏や大内氏などが向背定まらず、九州地方では懐良親王などの南朝勢力は健在であった。
English: Furthermore within the Shogunate, Yoshinaga NIKKI opposed Kiyouji HOSOKAWA and Kunihiko HATAKEYAMA and went to the Southern Dynasty; Kiyouji, a Shogun's deputy (Kanrei) of the Muromachi Shogunate, left for the Southern Dynasty over remarks by Douyo SASAKI; with the Shogunate weakened by power struggles, the Southern Dynasty took the opportunity to briefly regain Kyoto; government was in flux.
Japanese: 更に幕府内では仁木義長と細川清氏・畠山国清が対立し義長は南朝へ降り、さらに室町幕府執事(管領)の清氏が佐々木道誉の讒言で離反して南朝へ降るなど権力抗争が絶えず、その隙を突いて南朝方が一時京都を奪還するなど政権は流動的であった。
English: In 1363 the Ouchi and Yamana clans returned to the Shogunate, government began to stabilize, and progress was made toward peace with the Southern Dynasty.
Japanese: 1363年には大内氏、山名氏が幕府に帰参して政権は安定化しはじめ、南朝との講和も進んでいた。
English: Yoshimasa SHIBA filled the position of Kanrei that was left open by Kiyouji's fall; then Yoriyuki HOSOKAWA took over when SHIBA fell briefly.
Japanese: 清氏の失脚以来空席となっていた管領職に斯波義将を任じ、斯波氏が一時失脚すると細川頼之を管領に任命する。
English: In 1367 (Shohei 22/Joji 6) he entrusted his heir, Yoshimitsu, who was born to him by his concubine, KI no Yoshiko, to Yoriyuki HOSOKAWA, then succumbed to illness and died.
Japanese: 1367年（正平22年/貞治6年）に、側室の紀良子との間に生まれた幼少の嫡男義満を細川頼之に託して、病により死去する。
English: His last request was "after I die, let me rest beside the grave of my beloved Masatsura KUSUNOKI at Kanrin-ji Temple" (present day Zennyuzan Hokyoin Temple).
Japanese: 彼の遺言に「自分の逝去後、かねており敬慕していた観林寺（現在の善入山宝筐院）の楠木正行の墓の傍らで眠らせてもらいたい。
English: His grave (Hokyointo) was put next to that of Masatsura KUSUNOKI (Gorinsekito), in accordance with his will.
Japanese: 」とあり、遺言どおり、楠木正行の墓（五輪石塔）の隣に彼の墓（宝筐印塔）は建てられた。
English: At the end of the Edo period there was an incident in which the head was displayed on the dry bed of the Kamo-gawa River, along with the wooden statues of Takauji and Yoshimitsu, by Sonno-Joi faction (Ashikaga Shogun Portrait Pillory Incident).
Japanese: 江戸時代末期に尊皇攘夷派により尊氏、義満の木像と合わせて三条河原に梟首される事件が起こる（足利三代木像梟首事件）。
English: Moreover, the Taiheiki ends the story in the chapter wherein Yoshiakira dies and Yoriyuki HOSOKAWA advances to Kanrei (Vol.37).
Japanese: また、太平記は、義詮が没し細川頼之が管領に就任する章（巻第三十七）で物語を終えている。
English: December 3, 1347 - Advanced to Ju-Shii-ge (Junior 4th Class, Minor).
Japanese: 1347年（正平(日本)2年/貞和3年）12月3日、従四位下に昇叙。
English: August 22, 1350 - Appointed Sangi, also acted as Sakonoechujo.
Japanese: 1350年（正平5年/観応元年）8月22日、参議に補任し、左近衛中将を兼任。
English: It is said that the relationship between his father Yoshimitsu and him was bad, and even though he was given the shogun post by his father at the age of 9 in 1934 (Ouei 1), he had no real power while Yoshimitsu as Grand Minister was still alive.
Japanese: 義満との父子関係は険悪であったとされ、1394年（応永元）に9歳で義満より将軍職を譲られるが、太政大臣となった義満の在世中は実権がなかった。
English: The Assembly of the shogunate was held at Kitayama-dai villa, where Yoshimitsu lived, and Yoshimochi never participated in it.
Japanese: 幕府の評定も義満の居住する北山第で開催されて義持が参画する事はなかった。
English: There is a record that he was reprimanded because of his aides, YAMASHINA brothers, in 1406, and when Emperor Gokomatsu visited "Kitayama-dai villa" right before Yoshimitsu's death, his half brother Yoshitsugu, having his father's favor, had an audience with the Emperor, but Yoshimochi was made in charge of security in Kyoto, which shows that he also suffered from his father's favoritism.
Japanese: 1406年（応永13）には側近の山科兄弟の事で叱責された記録が残っており、1408年（応永15）、義満死去直前に後小松天皇が「北山第」に御成した際も、義満が寵愛した異母弟の義嗣は天皇に謁見したが、義持自身は京都警備番をさせられる等、偏愛にも苦しんでいたようである。
English: After Yoshimitsu died in 1408, Yoshimochi lived in the Flower Palace (Muromachi-dai, Kamigyo ward, Kyoto city) temporarily, and moved to the residence in Sanjo-boumon (Nakagyo ward, Kyoto city) where the second shogun Yoshiakira ASHIKAGA had lived.
Japanese: 1408年（応永15）の義満死後は一時的に花の御所（室町第、京都市上京区）に住むが、翌年には2代将軍足利義詮の住んでいた三条坊門邸（京都市中京区）へ移っている。

Japanese: 政治は、管領を務め宿老として影響力を持っていた斯波義将らに補佐され、幕政を守旧的なものに改める。
English: By doing so, he was allegedly trying to bring back "military regime" style of Muromachi Shogunate, which had been once lost.
Japanese: これによって一度は失われた室町幕府の「武家政権」色を復活させようとしたと言われている。
English: He alienated Zeami, whom Yoshimitsu took under his wing (however, this is also said to be a matter of Yoshimochi's personal interest), declined the posthumous title as ex-Emperor offered to his father Yoshimitsu, from the Imperial court, and ended the trade with Ming dynasty China (Kango trade), of which tribute style had faced some opposition, in 1411.
Japanese: 義満が庇護していた世阿弥を遠ざけ（ただし、これは義持個人の趣味の問題とする説もある）、朝廷からの父義満に対する太上天皇の追号を辞退し、1411年（応永18）には朝貢形式に対して反発の声もあった日明貿易（勘合貿易）を取り止めるなどした。
