English: The origin of this is considered to be Hakuseki ARAI's seeking Motohiro's advice on Chosen Tsushinshi (the Korean Emissary) and Diplomatic Protocol, but Motohiro went to Edo when the restart of Insei of Retired Emperor Reigen became definite from the sudden death of the Retired Emperor Higashiyama, and tried to reconstruct the relation between the Imperial Court and the bakufu, as well as to solve the establishment problem of Shin miyake (a new imperial family) (later became Kaninnomiya), which had started to formalize while Emperor Higashiyama was alive.
Japanese: これは新井白石が朝鮮通信使の問題や儀礼問題について基熙の意見を求めたからだとされているが、一方、東山上皇の余りにも突然の急死により霊元上皇の院政再開が確実となったことで、基熙としても朝幕関係の再構築と東山上皇の生前の意向であった新宮家（後の閑院宮）創設問題の早期実現を願う立場から望んでいた江戸下向でもあった。
English: The Retired Emperor Reigen, who disliked Motohiro associating himself closely with the Kanto region, personally sought a prayer of curse ("Reigen Shinpitsu Gokiganmon") at Shimogoryo-jinja Shrine, and in it denounced Motohiro as 'Shinkyokujanei no akushin' (Bad retainer who acts for his own benefit and with insincerity).
Japanese: こうした基煕の関東接近を憎んだ霊元上皇は、下御霊神社に呪詛の願文を自ら認め（霊元院宸筆御祈願文）、その中で基煕を「私曲邪佞の悪臣」と悪し様に罵っている。
English: Sekke regent families other than the KONOE family opposed the demands of Hiroko (who became the wife of Shogun), which made her niece, Hisako KONOE (Iehiro's daughter), become the Nyogo (consort) of Emperor Nakamikado, and went on the side of the Retired Emperor Reigen (from the adoption system of the time, the grandsons of Norihira TAKATSUKASA occupied the heads of the four Sekke regent families other than the Konoe family and had intimate relationships with each other).
Japanese: また、御台所となった熈子の意向で姪にあたる家熈の娘・近衛尚子が中御門天皇の女御として入内する事になったために近衛家以外の他の摂家が反発して霊元上皇に接近するようになった（なお、当時の養子縁組によって鷹司教平の男系の孫が揃って近衛家以外の4つの摂家の当主であり、互いに親密であった）。
English: While Motohiro was known as the Kugyo who promoted the shogunate marital union with the imperial family, he strongly opposed the Koka (marriage of an imperial princess to a subject) of Yasonomiya (Imperial Princess Yoshiko), the daughter of the Retired Emperor Reigen, to Shogun Ietsugu TOKUGAWA after the death of Ienobu under recommendation from Hakuseki ARAI (this was probably due to an attempt by Ietsugu's biological mother, Gekkoin, to get rid of Retired Emperor Reigen, who tried to improve the relation with the bakufu, and Hiroko KONOE (who became a monk called Teneiin)), and did not forget to distance himself from the bakufu as Choshin (Imperial retainer).
Japanese: とかく親幕派・公武合体を進めた公卿として知られるが、一方で家宣の死後に新井白石の斡旋で行われた霊元上皇皇女の八十宮（吉子内親王）の将軍徳川家継への降嫁（これは一転して幕府との関係改善に乗り出した霊元上皇と近衛熈子（出家して天英院）の排除を策する家継生母月光院との思惑の一致による側面もあった）には朝廷の尊厳を損なうとして強く反対するなど朝臣として幕府とは距離をとることも忘れなかった。

English: In the diary he wrote from 1655 to his death, called "Motohiro koki," Motohiro regarded with humor the bloodshed inflicted on (Yoshinaka) KIRA by Naganori ASANO during the Genroku Ako Incident, as 'what a unusual occurrence it is,' and wrote about the reaction of Emperor Higashiyama, who heard about the incident, as 'the Emperor said that it is a funny thing.'
Japanese: また1655年から死去まで書き続けている日記を『基熈公記』といい、この中で元禄赤穂事件についての記述で浅野長矩の吉良への刃傷についての感想を基熈は「珍事々々」と面白げに書いており、また事件を聞いた東山天皇の様子について「御喜悦の旨、仰せ下し了んぬ」と記している。

Japanese: 基熙の日記は『基熙公記』あるいは『応円満院関白記』といい、有識書類の校合整理、古画や絵巻物類の考証、装束・調度の製作技術の復活など、基熙の有職故実における該博な薀蓄を散見できる。

Japanese: 承平(日本)2年（932年）正四位下に昇叙され、同5年大宰権帥、同6年従三位になり、天慶2年（939年）大宰権帥のまま中納言に任ぜられ、天慶4年2月20日大宰府で薨去した。

English: It was told that the lord of Kamachi in Kamachi-jo Castle was from the family of FUJIWARA no Suminori, but Yanagawa-jo Castle did not exist at that time, and it was at Kamachi-jo Castle that TACHIBANA no Kimiyori and his son TACHIBANA no Toshimichi made a counterattack.
Japanese: そこから蒲池城に拠る蒲池の領主は藤原純乗の一族と伝えられているが、当時は柳川城はまだなく、橘公頼が子の橘敏通と共に藤原純乗を迎え撃ったのは蒲池城である。

English: FUJIWARA no Mototsune, whom Emperor Uda wanted to assign as the Kanpaku (chief adviser to the Emperor), became angry at the emperor's reply, 'appoint to Ako,' which Hiromi wrote, claiming that Ako was just a rank without any official duties, and he refused the appointment, leading to the Ako Incident in 887.
Japanese: 仁和3年（887年）、宇多天皇が関白に任じようとしていた藤原基経が、広相の起草した勅答に「阿衡に任ず」との文字があり、阿衡とは位のみで職掌が無い官であると激怒し出仕を拒否する阿衡事件が起こる。

Japanese: 翌仁和4年（888年）、長期化する政務の停滞に心痛した天皇が基経の主張を受け入れ広相の非を認めたことから、広相は責を問われて失脚することとなった。
English: However, because Mototsune's daughter entered Imperial Court as a Consort of the emperor after the incident, it was considered to be a scheme of the Fujiwara clan, who was wary of TACHIBANA becoming a maternal relative of the emperor by the accession of the imperial prince of Yoshiko, who was the daughter of Hiromi.
Japanese: しかし、事件後に基経の娘が入内していることから、この事件は広相の娘・義子の産んだ皇子が即位し橘氏が天皇の外戚となることを警戒した藤原氏の陰謀によるものと云われる。

Japanese: 村上天皇の時代の天暦・天徳(日本)年間に蔵人に補任され、美濃国受領、伊予国守など地方官を兼任した。

Japanese: この時、伊尹は従四位上蔵人頭兼春宮権亮兼左近衛権中将に過ぎず、弟の兼通・兼家もともに従四位下中宮権大夫、正五位下少納言に過ぎず、九条流は存亡の危機を迎えた。
English: However, Emperor Murakami accepted Imperial Prince Norihira as the Imperial Prince, and Koretada was promoted to Sangi (consultant) during a Jimoku (ceremony to inaugurate court officials) the same year, promoted to the rank of Jusanmi (Junior Third Rank) in 967, and skipped four Joro (higher ranking officials) to become the Gon Chunagon (a provisional vice-councilor of state).
Japanese: だが、憲平親王を皇太子と定めた村上天皇の強い意向で、同年の除目で参議に進み、康保4年（967年)に従三位に昇り、続いて上臈4名を飛び越して権中納言に転じる。
English: He was able to send his younger brothers, Kanemichi and Kaneie, to the Kurodo no to consecutively, and sustained his relation with Emperor Murakami.
Japanese: その間に弟の兼通・兼家を相次いで蔵人頭に送り込むことに成功して、村上天皇との関係を維持した。
English: His father, Morosuke, was already gone, and his uncle, FUJIWARA no Saneyori, became the Kanpaku Daijo-daijin (chief advisor to the emperor and grand minister) but since he did not have any maternal relation with the emperor, his political power remained weak.
Japanese: 父の師輔は既になく伯父の藤原実頼が関白太政大臣となったが、天皇との外戚関係がなく力が弱かった。
English: Meanwhile, Koretada became the uncle of a maternal relative of the emperor and was assigned as Gon Dainagon (a provisional chief councilor of state) before being promoted to Shosanmi (Senior Third Rank) in 968.
Japanese: 一方、伊尹は外戚伯父となり、権大納言に任じられ、翌安和元年（968年）正三位に昇る。
English: Koretada made his daughter, FUJIWARA no Kaishi, enter the Imperial Court as the Nyogo (consort) of Emperor Reizei, and they became the parents of Emperor Kazan.
Japanese: 伊尹は冷泉天皇に娘の藤原懐子を女御として入内させ、花山天皇が生まれている。
English: Emperor Reizei had a mental illness which made him go mad and he was not granted a long reign; his younger maternal brothers, Imperial Princes Tamehira and Morihira, were seen as likely candidates for the Togu, and in the end the younger of the brothers, Imperial Prince Morihira, was chosen.
Japanese: 冷泉天皇は狂気の病があり、長い在位は望まれず、東宮には同母弟の為平親王、守平親王が有力だったが、年少の守平親王が東宮に選ばれた。
English: This was because the wife of Imperial Prince Tamehira was MINAMOTO no Takaakira, who had the title of Sadaijin (Minister of the Left), and the FUJIWARA clan was afraid of the Daigo-Genji (Minamoto clan) becoming a maternal relative to the emperor.
Japanese: これは為平親王の妃が左大臣源高明だったためで、醍醐源氏が外戚となることを藤原氏が恐れたためだった。
English: MINAMOTO no Mitsunaka reported a secret rebellion in 969 and Takaakira suddenly lost his position and was transferred and demoted to Dazai-fu (local government office in Kyushu region) (Anna Incident).
Japanese: 安和2年(969年)、源満仲が謀反の密告をし、とつじょ高明は失脚して大宰府へ左遷されてしまった（安和の変）。
English: Koretada became Udaijin in 970; his uncle Saneyori, who held the titles of Sessho Daijo-daijin and Uji choja (chieftain of the family), passed away in the same year, and Koretada, who was a maternal uncle to the emperor, became Sessho and Uji choja (the head of the clan).
Japanese: 天禄元年（970年）右大臣に拝せられ、同年、摂政太政大臣だった伯父の実頼が死去し、天皇の外戚叔父の伊尹は摂政・氏長者となる。
English: Koretada gained power and reputation but fell ill the following year, 972; he retired from Sessho before passing away.
Japanese: 伊尹は名実ともに政権を掌握したが、それから程ない翌天禄3年（972年）病に倒れ、上表して摂政を辞め、死去した。
English: He had the personality of someone who liked luxury; when he noticed that his bedroom wall became slightly black on the day of a party, he had it replaced with very expensive Michinokugami (Japanese paper originally made from the fibers of mayumi (the spindle tree), and produced in Michinoku area, part of modern day Tohoku) wallpaper.
Japanese: 性格は豪奢を好み、大饗の日に寝殿の壁が少し黒かったので、非常に高価な陸奥紙で張り替えさせたことがある。
English: He excelled in Waka and was assigned as Betto (chief officer) of Senwakadokoro (imperial poetry bureau) located in Nashitsubo (normally the palace residence which is used by an imperial Consort, but is cleared out for use of poem selection) in 951, and was deeply involved in editing "Gosen Wakashu" (Later selected collection of Japanese poetry).
Japanese: 和歌に優れ、天暦5年（951年）、梨壺に設けられた撰和歌所の別当に任ぜられ、『後撰和歌集』の編纂に深く関与した。
English: A famous Shoka (calligrapher) named FUJIWARA no Yukinari was the grandson of Koretada, and the Seson-ji family line continued from that family line.
Japanese: 書家として名高い藤原行成は孫であり、そこから世尊寺系と呼ばれる家系に続く。
English: Asahira pleaded with Koretada to let him have the position, since it would be his last chance, while Koretada was young and had a good family background.
Japanese: 朝成は伊尹がまだ若く、家柄もよいのだから、これからも機会はあろうが、自分はこれが最後の機会だから譲ってくれと頼み込んだ。
English: Asahira became a wraith and haunted and killed Koretada, who had just become Sessho, and gave scourge to his children.
Japanese: 朝成は生霊となって祟りをなし、摂政になって程ない伊尹を殺し、その子たちにも祟りをなしたという。
English: However, there is no written evidence that these two competed for the high official rank, and Koretada died before Asahira.
Japanese: もっとも、記録上両者が官職を競合したとする証拠は無く、伊尹は朝成よりも先に亡くなっている。
English: Kaneie was seen as being very likely to gain the position of Kanpaku (chief advisor to the emperor) after Koretada, but his older brother Kanemichi gained the position by the will of Chugu Anshi.
Japanese: 伊尹の後任の関白には兼家が有力だったが、中宮安子の遺言によってその兄の兼通が任じられた。
English: In 984, Emperor Enyu passed his power to Imperial Prince Morosada (Emperor Kazan), who ascended to the throne.
Japanese: 永観2年（984年）、円融天皇が譲位して師貞親王が即位した（花山天皇）。
English: The son of Koretada, Yoshichika, who became a maternal uncle to the emperor and held the title of Chunagon (vice-councilor of state), tried to manage the government of the Imperial Court, but Emperor Kazan was forced to abdicate to become a priest by the scheme of Kaneie; as a result Emperor Ichijo ascended to the throne, and Kaneie, who was a maternal relative to the emperor, became the Sessho regent.
