Japanese: 経基はまた禅にも通じており、東福寺の僧虎関の編による『元亨釈書』を愛読し、僧らとその内容に対して議論を交えたこともあった。
English: This Kikkawa family tradition which values both literary and military arts was transmitted less so through the lineage of Mototsune's eldest son than through Motoharu KIKKAWA (who transcribed "Taiheiki" [The Record of the Great Peace] by hand at the front of battles), who was a distant relative of the Kikkawa clan and a member of the Mori clan, and his descendants.
Japanese: この文武を重んずる吉川氏の家風は、経基嫡流よりも、傍流で毛利氏一門の吉川元春（陣中にて『太平記』を写本）とその子孫に色濃く受け継がれることとなる。

Japanese: 文禄3年（1594年）7月20日、織田信長の後を継いで天下人となった豊臣秀吉に対して蝋燭、麝香、真壺、ルソン壺、唐傘、香料など珍品を献上し、秀吉の保護を得て日本でも豪商として活躍した。
English: In 1598, his all-too-lavish lifestyle brought the slanders of a civilian party including Mitsunari ISHIDA by which Hideyoshi confiscated his mansion that was said to be too luxury for his position and rank; but Sukezaemon, knowing it in advance, donated the grand mansion and belongings to his ancestral Daian-ji Temple before escaping to Luson with a Japanese quarter.
Japanese: 慶長3年（1598年）、あまりに華美な生活を好んだため、石田三成ら文治派の讒言によって、秀吉から身分をわきまえずに贅を尽くしすぎるとして邸宅没収の処分を受けることになるが、事前に察知してその壮麗な邸宅や財産を菩提寺の大安寺に寄進して日本人町のあるルソンへ脱出した。
English: One theory is that he provoked Hideyoshi's wrath when it became known that the Luzon pots which he had presented to him were not of great value but were in fact commonly available.
Japanese: 一説には献上したルソン壺が宝物ではなく一般に売られていた物だと発覚したことから秀吉の怒りを買ったともいう。

Japanese: 慶長12年（1607年）、スペインがカンボジアに介入した後にルソンからカンボジアに渡海し、そこでカンボジア国王の信任を得て、再び豪商となったとされる。
English: He attained public notoriety with "Ogon no Hibi" (The Golden Days), based on the novel by Saburo SHIROYAMA and dramatized in 1978 as one of the series of Taiga Drama (NHK's annual year-long historical dramas), but the historical truth about his life is unclear.
Japanese: 城山三郎の小説で、昭和53年（1978年）に大河ドラマ化された『黄金の日日』などで知名度が上がるが、歴史的人物としての事跡は不明。
English: He was depicted in the drama as a Shuin-sen trader (who traded with ships licensed by the bakufu [Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun]); however, considering his time, he would have used junk (unlicensed) ships.
Japanese: 作中では朱印船貿易家として描かれているが、時代的にはジャンク船を使っていたとも考えられている。
English: Also, Daian-ji Temple in the same Sakai City has a grave that is said to be that of Sukezaemon.

Japanese: 島井(嶋井)宗室（しまいそうしつ、天文(元号)8年（1539年）-元和(日本)元年8月24日(旧暦)（1615年10月16日））は、戦国時代(日本)、安土桃山時代から江戸時代の博多の商人、茶道である。
English: In Hakata at that time, there were many wealthy merchants; in particular, Soshitsu, Sotan KAMIYA, and Soku OGA who were collectively called 'the three great men in Hakata.'
Japanese: 当時の博多では多くの豪商が犇めいていたが、特に宗室・神屋宗湛・大賀宗九は「博多の三傑」と呼ばれる。
English: While Soshitsu and Sotan were merchants under the patronage of Hideyoshi, Soku OGA was a merchant under the patronage of the Kuroda clan: the natures of the two types of merchants appear completely different through the history.
Japanese: しかし、宗室と宗湛は秀吉取立て商人であり、大賀宗九は黒田氏取立て商人というわけで、歴史学というジャンルでは、両者の性格は全く違う。
English: According to the family tree of the Shimai family, the family was descended from the Northern House of the Fujiwara clan and the descendants declared themselves Toji (the Fujiwara clan) for generations; however, they changed their family name to Shimai in the generation of Jiro Uemon Shigehisa.
Japanese: 島井家の系図には、藤原北家の血筋をひき、代々藤氏を名乗ったが、次郎右衛門茂久の代に、島井姓に改めたと書いてある。
English: In those days, special tea bowls were so valuable that it was said one could exchange a single tea bowl for a whole province; in particular, 'Hatsuhana,' 'Nitta,' and 'Narashiba' were called the three most special tea bowls in the world.
Japanese: 当時の名物茶器は国一つと交換できるレベルの価値だったが、その中でも「初花」「新田」「楢柴」は天下の三大名器と言われている。

Japanese: 天正元年（1573年）には、当時の博多の領有者大友義鎮との取引きを開始。
English: At the same time, he became friendly with Soeki SEN and Doshitsu TENNOJIYA, who were masters of tea ceremony and wealthy merchants in Sakai, and they associated with each other as tea masters and Japan-Korea traders.
Japanese: 同じ頃、堺の茶人兼豪商である千宗易や天王寺屋道叱らと懇意になり、数奇者として、朝鮮貿易業者として交歓しあった。
English: In exchange for supplying war funds for the Otomo clan and the So clan in Tsushima, he obtained various privileges from Sorin OTOMO to establish his position as a wealthy merchant.
Japanese: 大友氏や、対馬の宗氏らの軍資金を調達する代わりに、大友宗麟から様々な特権を得て豪商としての地位を確立してゆく。
English: When the Otomo clan was defeated in the Battle of Mimi-kawa and the Shimazu clan gained power, Soshitsu who was close to the Otomo clan became afraid that his privileges would be taken away by the Shimazu clan so that he met the then ruler of the country Nobunaga ODA to gain protection from him.
Japanese: 耳川の戦いで大友氏が没落し、代わって島津氏が台頭してくると、大友氏寄りの宗室は自身の特権が島津氏に奪われることを危惧して当時の天下人・織田信長に謁見して、その保護を得ようとする。
English: Nobunaga tried to protect Soshitsu on the condition of having trade with foreign countries, but as Nobunaga died in the Honnoji Incident in 1582, Soshitsu's plan was cancelled.
Japanese: 信長は諸外国との貿易を前提に宗室を保護しようとしたが、天正10年（1582年）の本能寺の変で死去したため、この目論見は露と消えた。
English: There is an episode that Soshitsu took "Senjimon" (the Thousand Character Classic), Kobo-Daishi Kukai's autograph, from Honno-ji Temple in the Honnoji Incident.
Japanese: 逸話として、本能寺の変の際に宗室は弘法大師空海直筆の『千字文』を持ち出したと言われている。
English: Soshitsu gained protection from Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI who gained power after Nobunaga's death, and established transportation lines extending from the Kinai region (the five capital provinces surrounding the ancient capitals of Nara and Kyoto) to Hakata and further to Tsushima.
Japanese: 信長の死後に台頭した豊臣秀吉の保護を得て、畿内から博多、さらには対馬にいたる交通路を築き上げた。
English: After the unification of the country, Hideyoshi attempted to dispatch troops to Korea (the Bunroku-Keicho War); however, Soshitsu strongly opposed that Japan should not battle against Korea which was an important trading partner.
Japanese: 天下統一後、秀吉が朝鮮出兵(文禄・慶長の役)を企むと、大切な通商国と戦争するという利害からこれに強硬に反対した。
English: However, his attempt was unsuccessful; additionally, he strongly insisted on the withdrawal even after the Hideyoshi's troop dispatch.
Japanese: しかしこれは空回りに終わったうえ、秀吉の派兵後も撤兵を強硬に主張した。
English: After he was forgiven later, he cooperated with Mitsunari ISHIDA, who was one of the five major magistrates, and served as military logistics support of the Japanese army, while he arranged peace with Ming officials behind the scenes.
Japanese: 後に許された後は、五奉行の石田三成と協力して日本軍の後方兵站役を務める一方で、明との和平の裏工作を行なっている。
English: When Hakata came under the control of the Kuroda clan after the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Soshitsu cooperated with Nagamasa KURODA to build Fukuoka-jo Castle.
Japanese: 慶長5年（1600年）の関ヶ原の戦い後、博多が黒田氏の支配下に入ると、宗室は黒田長政の福岡城築城などに協力している。
English: Wani (date of birth and death unknown) is a legendary figure who supposedly came from Kudara (Paekche) to Japan to teach Chinese characters and Confucianism.
Japanese: 王仁（わに、生没年不詳）は百済から日本に渡来し、漢字と儒教を伝えたとされる伝説的な人物。
English: Kojiki, Nihonshoki, and Shoku Nihongi (Chronicle of Japan Continued) are the only documents that mention Wani.
Japanese: 王仁に関しての記述が存在するのは古事記、日本書紀、および続日本紀のみである。
English: Original: 百濟國 若有賢人者貢上 故 受命以貢上人名 和邇吉師 即論語十卷 千字文一卷 并十一卷付是人即貢進(此和邇吉師者、文首等祖)
Japanese: 文：「百濟國若有賢人者貢上故受命以貢上人名和邇吉師即論語十卷千字文一卷并十一卷付是人即貢進（此和邇吉師者、文首等祖）
English: Translation: In response to the order (of Emperor Ojin) to offer a sage if there was any, Kudara offered one called Wanikishi.
Japanese: 訳：百済にもし賢人がいるのであれば献上せよとの（応神天皇の）命令を受け、（百済が）献上した人の名前は和邇吉師（わにきし）という。
English: It is said that he was offered along with 10 volumes of Rongo Analects and 1 volume of Senjimon (a poem consisting of one thousand Chinese characters) (it is believed that "Rongo" and "Senjimon," or Confucianism and Chinese characters, were brought to Japan by Wani).
Japanese: 論語十巻と千字文一巻のあわせて十一巻をつけて献上した（王仁によって『論語』『千字文』すなわち儒教と漢字が伝えられたとされている。
English: Note that, however, Senjimon had not been compiled yet during the time of Wani, and this quite often brings up the question whether or not Wani really existed.
Japanese: ただし、千字文は王仁の生存時まだ編集されておらず、この記述から王仁の実在には疑問符がつけられることも少なくない。
English: There has been a theory that naturalized scholars were made into one figure at the time of Kojiki compilation.
Japanese: 帰化した複数の学者が、『古事記』編纂の際にひとりの存在にまとめられたのではないかとされる説もある。
English: According to "Nihonshoki," Wani, a scholar, came from Kudara in February, 285, in response to the recommendation by Achiki, a scholar and an envoy of the King of Kudara, and also to the invitation by Emperor Ojin.
Japanese: 『日本書紀』によると、王仁は百済王の使者阿直岐（あちき）という学者の推薦を受け、応神天皇の招待に従って応神天皇16年2月に百済から渡来した。
English: '十五年秋八月 壬戌朔丁卯 百濟王遣阿直岐 貢良馬二匹 即養於輕阪上廄 因以阿直岐令掌飼 故號其養馬之處曰 廄阪也 阿直岐亦能讀經典 及太子菟道稚郎子師焉 於是天皇問阿直岐曰 如勝汝博士亦有耶 對曰 有王仁者 是秀也 時遣上毛野君祖 荒田別 巫別於百濟 仍徵王仁也 其阿直岐者 阿直岐史之始祖也 十六年春二月 王仁來之 則太子菟道稚郎子師之 習諸典籍於王仁 莫不通達 所謂王仁者 是書首等始祖也'
Japanese: 「十五年秋八月壬戌朔丁卯百濟王遣阿直岐貢良馬二匹即養於輕阪上廄因以阿直岐令掌飼故號其養馬之處曰廄阪也阿直岐亦能讀經典及太子菟道稚郎子師焉於是天皇問阿直岐曰如勝汝博士亦有耶對曰有王仁者是秀也時遣上毛野君祖荒田別巫別於百濟仍徵王仁也其阿直岐者阿直岐史之始祖也十六年春二月王仁來之則太子菟道稚郎子師之習諸典籍於王仁莫不通達所謂王仁者是書首等始祖也」
English: According to Shoku Nihongi, Imiki FUMINO, who was Shorokuinojo (Senior Sixth Rank, Upper Grade) Sadaishi (First Secretary of the Left), and Mooto told Emperor Kammu that their ancestor Wani was a descendant of the Emperor of the Han dynasty.
Japanese: 続日本紀によると、子孫である左大史･正六位上の文忌寸（ふみのいみき）最弟（もおと）らが先祖の王仁は漢の皇帝の末裔と桓武天皇に奏上したという記述がある。
English: This leads to a theory that Wani was from Rakuro County (an ancient county that existed in the northern Korean Peninsula), was a member of a Han family that came to Kudara, and was a descendent of the Emperor of the Han dynasty.
Japanese: このことから王仁は楽浪郡出身で百済にやってきた漢人の家系に連なり、漢高帝の末裔であるとされる。
English: If this is true, Wani could have been a member of the Rakuroo clan that fled to Kudara when Rakuro County collapsed in 313.
Japanese: この記述が真実であれば、王仁は313年の楽浪郡滅亡の際に百済へと亡命した楽浪王氏の一員ではないかと考えられる。
English: The Rakuroo clan that had strong political power throughout the Rakuro area is said to have originated in the Qi dynasty (Shandong Province, China) and colonized the mountains in Rakuro after escaping from the Qi dynasty civil wars in the B.C. 170's.
Japanese: 楽浪の時代を通じて強力な勢力をもった楽浪王氏は斉（中国山東省）の出自といわれ、前一七〇年代に斉の内乱を逃れて楽浪の山中に入植したものという。
English: Wani probably fled to Kudara when Rakuro County collapsed in the early third century and immigrated to Japan in the later third century.
Japanese: おそらく、3世紀前半の楽浪郡の滅亡後に百済へ亡命、その後、3世紀後半には日本へ移民したのであろう。
English: It was after the time of Shiragi (ancient Korean kingdom) that people from the Korean Peninsula started to use Chinese-style one-character family names and it is not likely that people from Kudara at that time used the family name Wan.
Japanese: 朝鮮半島の人間が中国風の一字姓を名乗りはじめるのは新羅以降の風習で、当時の百済の人間が王姓を名乗っているとは考えにくい。
English: It is now known there, but this is because information was imported in modern times.
Japanese: 現在は彼の地でも知られているが、これは近代になって流入した知識によるものである。
English: In South Korea, Wani is considered as a "Korean" who brought his own culture into Japan, and government-designated textbooks for junior high school students state that 'Wani introduced advanced culture to Japan.'
Japanese: 大韓民国で王仁は日本に文化を伝えた『韓国人』として扱われており、中学生用の国定歴史教科書には「王仁は日本に進んだ文化を伝えた」と記述されている。
English: In recent years, the Wang-in Culture Festival has been held annually in Yeongam County of South Cholla Province to commemorate Wani who introduced advanced culture to Japan (there are also Wani-related ruins in South Cholla Province but they were created after the 1970's, and these are serving as good examples of creation of a legendary site).
Japanese: また、近年、全羅南道の霊岩郡では、毎年王仁博士祭りを開き、日本に文化を伝えた王仁を記念している（現在全羅南道には王仁関連の遺跡も存在しているが、1970年代以降に創作されたものであり、伝承地が作られてゆく生きた実例となっている）。
English: Note that, however, Wani appears only in Nihonshoki, Kojiki, and Shoku Nihongi, and none of the historical books in Korea such as Samguk Sagi (History of the Three Kingdoms) and Sangokuiji Yusa (an Anecdotal History of the Three Kingdoms in Ancient Korea) mentions Wani or any other person who is identified as Wani.
