English: By contrast, the information that Gisho was in Shikoku was brought to the shogunate, while the punitive force chasing the shadow of Gisho ordered by Yoshinori in Yoshino, and in April 1438, it turned out that Gisho was placed under the protection of the Sagawa clan, a Kunishu (samurai) of Tosa Province through an order to Kunishu of Tosa and Awa Provinces written in Gonaisho (official document) by Mochiyuki HOSOKAWA, kanrei (shogunal deputy).
Japanese: それどころか、吉野で義教の命令を受けた幕府軍が義昭の影を追いかけていたところ、永享10年の3月に入ると、実は義昭は四国にいるという情報が幕府に伝えられ、やがて土佐国の国衆・佐川氏の保護下に置かれていたことが、管領細川持之発給の御内書などによる土佐・阿波国の諸国衆に対する命令で明らかとなっている。
English: Further, it turned out that Gisho moved to Kyushu in around 1440, to a secular life and was named "Son-yu," and was placed under the protection of a Kunishu of Hyuga Province, Nobe clan.
Japanese: 更に永享12年（1440年）頃には義昭が九州に移って還俗して「尊有」と名乗り、日向国の国衆野辺氏の保護下に置かれていることが明らかとなった。
English: With this information, Yoshinori ordered Satsuma no kuni Shugo (provincial constable of Satsuma Province), Tadakuni SHIMAZU who also was Hyuga no kuni Shugo (provincial constable of Hyuga Province), to put down Gisho.
Japanese: そこで義教は日向守護を兼ねる薩摩国守護の島津忠国に義昭討伐を命じた。
English: Among the Shimazu clan, however, it seems that opinions were divided to those who try to protect Gisho and those trying to put him down, and there is an entry in the "Kennai ki" (a name of private historical record) of Tokifusa MADENOKOJI as a hearsay that there was a betrayal by a member of branch family of Shimazu clan that Tadakuni sheltered Gisho.
Japanese: だが、島津氏中では、義昭擁護論と討伐論に割れていたらしく、万里小路時房の『建内記』には伝聞記事として、島津氏の庶流の人物より幕府に対して忠国が義昭を匿っているとする密告があったと記述している。
English: Then Yoshinori ordered Mitsumasa AKAMATSU and Mochiyo OUCHI who were acquainted with Tadakuni to persuade him.
Japanese: そこで義教は忠国と面識のある赤松満政や大内持世らを通じて説得に当たらせた。
English: Tadakuni who firstly hesitated to attack Gisho fell under both pressures of the repeated orders of Yoshinori and subordinates who were discontent with Tadakuni's disobedience to the shogunate, Tadakuni finally ordered his senior vassals, including Tadahisa YAMADA and Tadaomi NIIRO to put Gisho down.
Japanese: 当初は義昭討伐を渋っていた忠国も度重なる義教からの命令と幕命違反に不満を抱く家中の意見双方の圧力に屈する形で、重臣の山田忠尚・新納忠臣らに義昭討伐を命じたのである。

Japanese: 以後、左馬頭や宮内卿なども兼務しながら、陰陽頭を大永2年（1522年）、暦博士を天文(日本)2年（1533年）まで務めた。
English: As we can see from the fact that he assumed the position of Kunaikyo from 1522 to 1537, he positively acted not only as an Onmyoji (Master of Yin yang), but also as a close advisor to then current Emperor Gonara.
Japanese: 大永2年より天文6年（1537年）まで宮内卿を務めたことでも分かるように、陰陽師としてだけでなく当時の後奈良天皇の側近としても活躍していた。

Japanese: さて、在富には嫡男の勘解由小路在昌がいたが、後にキリスト教の洗礼を受けて西洋天文学を学んでいた。

Japanese: ところが、天文23年（1554年）10月4日(旧暦)、在富が在種を殺害するという事件が発生している。
English: Although the cause is not known, there was no successor to the Kadenokoji family.
Japanese: 原因は不明であるが、これによって勘解由小路家は後継者不在となってしまった。
English: As Arimasa, who was the heir, followed Luis Frois in travel for propagation to Saigoku (western part of Japan esp. Kyushu, but ranging as far east as Kinki) and his rank remained unchanged from Jushii (Junior Fourth Rank) this father and son did not settle amicably and Aritomi died.
Japanese: 嫡男であった在昌はルイス・フロイスに従って西国に布教の旅に出て位階も従四位に止められたままであり、親子は和解することのないまま、在富は死去した。
English: Under the situations, the Kadenokoji family begged Arisue TSUCHIMIKADO of the Tsuchimikado family (Abe clan), who was a rival, and accepted Aritaka KADENOKOJI, who was a child of Arisue, as the successor.
Japanese: このため、勘解由小路家ではライバルである土御門家_(安倍氏)の土御門有脩に頼みこんで有脩の子である勘解由小路在高を後継者に迎え入れた。
English: Arisue, however, grabbed onto the Kadenokoji family under the excuse that he was the guardian of Aritaka and, after Aritaka died young, it is told that Arisue forced the Kadenokoji family's extinction saying that he inherited all rights of the Kadenokoji family.
Japanese: だが、有脩は在高の貢献であるという名目で勘解由小路家を掌握し、在高が夭折すると、そのまま勘解由小路家の諸権利を継承したとして同家を廃絶に追い込んでしまったとされている。
English: Ryuben (1208-September 14, 1283) was a priest of the Jimon School of the Tendai Sect and waka poet who lived during the middle of the Kamakura Period.

English: He reestablished the Onjo-ji Temple by linking himself with the Tokuso Family of the Hojo clan and was nicknamed "seiso (politically influential priest) in Kamakura."
Japanese: 北条氏得宗家と結びついて園城寺を再興し、「鎌倉の政僧」の異名を持った。
English: His reputation was already high when he was young and, in 1234, he went down to Kamakura for the first time by the invitation of Yoritsune KUJO, who was seii taishogun (literally, great general who subdues the barbarians).
Japanese: その名声は若い頃より聞え、天福(日本)2年（1234年）には征夷大将軍九条頼経の招きによって初めて鎌倉に下っている。

English: Even during this period, he often visited Kamakura at the requests of Yoritsune KUJO and Tsunetoki HOJO, who were the Shikken (regents to the shogunate), and spent days to go and return between Kamakura and the Onjo-ji Temple.
Japanese: この間にも九条頼経や執権北条経時の要請を受けて度々鎌倉に下り、鎌倉と園城寺を往復する生涯を送る事になった。

Japanese: ところが、寛元4年（1246年）の宮騒動、続く翌宝治元年（1247年）の宝治合戦が彼の運命を大きく変えることになった。
English: This series of disturbances were caused by Yoritsune KUJO and his supporters aiming at overthrowing Tokiyori HOJO, who was Shikken.
Japanese: 一連の騒動は九条頼経やその支持勢力が執権北条時頼打倒を画策して起こしたものであった。
English: At that time, since Jien, who was a real younger brother of Kanezane KUJO, assumed the position of Tendai-zasu (head priest of the Tendai sect), the Tendai sect came to have a close connection with the Kujo family, and the Shingon sect also bent before power of the Kujo family which was the kingmaker in the imperial court.
Japanese: 当時、天台宗は九条兼実の実弟慈円が天台座主を務めて以来、九条家との密着が進み、また真言宗も朝廷の実力者である同家に靡いていた。
English: Therefore, in a series of incidents, a large number of priests of esoteric Buddhism prayed for the overthrow of Tokiyori.
Japanese: そのため、一連の事件では多くの密教僧が時頼打倒のための祈祷を行っていた。
English: Due to such a situation, only Ryuben came to see Tokiyori at his request and prayed for Tokiyori's victory.
Japanese: その中で隆弁のみは時頼の依頼を受けてその許に参上して時頼勝利の祈祷を行ったのである。
English: After Tokiyori won, the influence of esoteric Buddhism drastically retreated in Kamakura, and the Zen sect launched.
Japanese: 時頼の勝利に終わった後に、密教勢力は鎌倉から大いに後退して代わりに禅宗が進出することになった。
English: Under such a situation, however, only Ryuben built up the confidence of Tokiyori, and obtained support from the Kamakura bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun).
Japanese: しかし、その中で隆弁のみが時頼の信任を得て、鎌倉幕府からの支援を受けることになったのである。

Japanese: また、時頼嫡男（後の北条時宗）誕生の際にも祈祷を行って褒賞として所領が与えられている。
English: The ardent wish of Ryuben, who succeeded to make his way into the world smoothly, was the reestablishment of the Onjo-ji Temple.
Japanese: このように順調な出世を遂げていた隆弁の最大の悲願は園城寺の再建であった。
English: Although the Onjo-ji Temple had been deeply trusted by MINAMOTO no Yoritomo, it lost trust from the shogunate because of the assassination of MINAMOTO no Sanetomo by Kugyo, who had been being trained in the Onjo-ji Temple, and had been being leaving.
Japanese: 園城寺はかつて源頼朝から厚い信頼を受けていたが、園城寺で修業していた公暁が源実朝を暗殺した事件を機に幕府からの信頼を失って衰退しつつあったのである。
English: Tokiyori, who heard Ryuben's request, promised to give support to Onjo-ji Temple and Ryuben established the Nyoi-ji Temple as a branch temple of the Onjo-ji Temple and he was busily engaged in fundraising for it.
Japanese: 隆弁の願いを聞いた時頼は園城寺への支援を約束し、また隆弁も園城寺末寺として如意寺を建立してその勧進に奔走していた。
English: On March 6, 1260, an imperial sanction for building Kaidan (Buddhist ordination platform) was suddenly given to the Onjo-ji Temple, which was a long-lasted ardent wish.
Japanese: 正元(日本)2年（1260年）1月16日_(旧暦)に、突如園城寺に対して長年の悲願であった戒壇設置の勅許が下される。
English: Although it was cancelled three days later because of violent opposition by the Enryaku-ji Temple, it is rumored that Ryuben was in the background.
Japanese: これは延暦寺の猛反対によって3日後に取り消されたものの、この騒動の背景には隆弁がいたといわれている。

Japanese: 更に文永4年（1267年）には園城寺長吏に転じ、文永5年（1268年）には大阿闍梨に任命された。
English: During this period, he dared to conduct Jukai (handing down the precepts) using sanmayakai in order to make the previous imperial sanction into an accomplished fact, holding out against the Enryaku-ji Temple under support from the Kamakura bakufu.
Japanese: この間、鎌倉幕府の支援を受けて延暦寺と対抗しながら、先の勅許を既成事実化するために、三摩耶戒を用いた授戒を強行したりしている。

Japanese: 従四位上に叙せられるが、その後早世したと見られ、事績はほとんど伝わっていない。
English: If we look at his descendants, however, his son, FUJIWARA no Takafuji was promoted to Naidaijin (Inner Minister) because his daughter, FUJIWARA no Inshi (or Taneko) was the mother of the Emperor Daigo, and established for him early in his life a position in noble society.
Japanese: しかしその子孫に目を向けると、息子の藤原高藤は娘藤原胤子が醍醐天皇の生母となったことから内大臣に至り、早い時期で貴族社会において一定の地位を確立している。
