Japanese: しかし、戦国時代(日本)初頭の長享の乱の際に関東管領上杉顕定が河越城を攻撃するために7年にわたって上戸に陣を置いたと伝えられており、上戸においてそれだけ長期間において陣が構えられる場所は河越館以外に考えられないとされている。
English: Moreover, in the "Shinpen Musashi Fudo Kiko" (a topography of Musashi Province from 1804 to 1829) it is recorded that 'there was a fort in Uwado belonging to Masashige DAIDOJI' and it is presumed that this fort continued to function as an outpost castle after the construction of Kawagoe-jo Castle, and it is believed to have been destroyed at the same time as Kawagoe-jo Castle during the siege of Odawara by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI.
Japanese: また、『新編武蔵風土記稿』には「上戸に大道寺政繁の砦があった」と記されており、その砦は河越城築城後も出城として機能していたと推測され、豊臣秀吉の小田原征伐の際に川越城落城とともに廃城となったと考えられる。

English: Kogo-ishi or kogo-ishi style mountain castles were castles built on mountains in ancient times, and because there is no description of them in the 'Nihon shoki' (Chronicles of Japan) or 'Zoku Nihon shoki' (the sequel to Chronicles of Japan) they can be identified only through remains.
Japanese: 神籠石（こうごいし）または神籠石式山城（こうごいししきやましろ）とは古代に築造された山城で、「日本書紀」「続日本紀」に記載がなく、遺構でしか存在の確認できないものを指す。
English: They have been identified as the surmised locations of ancient mountain castles (Korean-style mountain castles), but the process of construction and who they were built for is totally unknown.
Japanese: 古代山城（朝鮮式山城）の比定地にされることもあるが、築造主体など建設の経緯は一切不明である。
English: Their characteristics are that on mountains which are 200 - 400 meters high, "kiriishi" (stones made by breaking rocks) about 70 centimeters wide, were placed from the top to the middle of the mountain, running for several kilometers, and which had a water gate when passing through a valley.
Japanese: 特色は、標高200～400mの山頂から中腹にかけて数kmにわたって一辺が70cm位の切石（きりいし＝岩を割って作った石）による石積みを配列し、谷を通過するときには水門を設けていること。
English: Sozaburo YAGI estimated that kogo-ishi had initially been built before the early seventh century through a comparison of the method of construction of tumulus stone chambers.
Japanese: 八木奘三郎は、古墳石室の構築法との比較から、神籠石の築造年代は推古朝（7世紀初）以前としている。
English: Takeshi KAGAMIYAMA estimated that kogo-ishi were built after the middle of the seventh century because the gap between the holes for posts in front of the arranged stones was about three meters and nearly equal to 2.95 meters) using the "toshaku" (unit of measurement during the period of Tang Dynasty in China) which was used from the middle of the seventh century.
Japanese: 鏡山猛は、列石前面の掘立柱穴の間隔が約3mで並んでおり、唐尺（一尺＝29.5cm）の十尺（2.95m）とほぼ等しいことから唐尺が使われた7世紀中頃以降の築造とした。
English: However, using the "shoshaku" measurement used during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties (China), it would be 2.94 meters and be nearly equal to the above figure, so there is a question mark over the assertion that they were built after the middle of the seventh century.
Japanese: しかし、南北朝時代(中国)の小尺（一尺＝24.5cm）でも十二尺（2.94m）とすると殆ど変らない値なので7世紀中頃以降の築造とするには疑問がある。
English: Kogo-ishi (神籠石) is also written 皮籠石, 交合石 and 皇后石 and the original meaning of "kogo" remains unknown.
Japanese: 神籠石は、当て字で皮籠石、交合石、皇后石などとも書き、「こうご」の本来の意味は分かっていない。
English: In 1898 Shojiro KOBAYASHI, in the first time it was presented to an academic society, claimed the kogo-ishi on Mt. Chikugo-Kora was 'a sacred ground, preserved and separated as a holy area.'
Japanese: 神籠石が学会に発表されたのは、明治31年に小林庄次郎が筑後・高良山神籠石を「霊地として神聖に保たれた地を区別したもの」として紹介したのが最初。
English: In 1900 Sozaburo YAGI explored the kogo-ishi located in the Kyushu region and insisted that, 'these kinds of large constructions only appear as part of castles' and after that, the dispute between the sacred-place theory and the castle theory began.
Japanese: 明治33年に九州所在の神籠石を踏査した八木奬三郎が「城郭を除いては、他にこの類の大工事なかるべし」として城郭であることを主張して以後、この神籠石の性格について霊域説と城郭説との論争が展開された。
English: During the excavation and research of the "Mt. Otsubo" kogo-ishi in Takeo City in Saga Prefecture in 1963, the dorui (earthwork) built using the "hanchiku" construction method behind the arranged stones, and the traces of posts aligned at three-meter intervals in front of the arranged stones were discovered, and as a result it was widely accepted that kogo-ishi were mountain castles.
Japanese: 昭和38年（1963年）の佐賀県武雄市「おつぼ山」神籠石の発掘調査で、列石の背後にある版築によって築かれた土塁と、列石の前面に3m間隔で並ぶ堀立柱の痕跡が発見され、山城であることが確定的となった。
English: There are those such as Goshogatani which seem to have been repeatedly reconstructed, others such as Mt. Rai which are very far from the living space and food-production areas, which could not easily provide water, were inadequate for taking refuge and unusual in their position in relation to the sacred area, and those such as Mt. Otsubo located on a small hill with an area of rice cultivation and agriculture.
Japanese: 御所ヶ谷のように「最初期形成時代以降にかなりの手が入っていると思われるもの」や、雷山のように「生活域、食料生産域との隔絶性が高く、水も確保しづらく、籠城に向かず、、祭祀遺跡との位置関係が特殊であるもの」、おつぼ山のように「稲作農耕地域の小丘陵に設置されているもの」などである。
English: It is unclear as to when the kogo-ishi were built, and even if they are of the same era it is probable that we only collectively refer to the wide variety of constructions as 'kogo-ishi' based on the distorting prism of what remains today.
Japanese: 現在まで、神籠石が何時頃作られたかも判明しておらず、成立年代は同じであったとしても、これほど様々に状況の違うものを現在的視点から神籠石と総称している可能性は高い。
English: The Mt. Otsubo excavation research merely determined that 'some kogo-ishi were used as mountain castles.'
Japanese: おつぼ山の調査結果は「神籠石の中に山城として使われていたことがあるものもある」ことを確定しただけに過ぎない。
English: In the case of kogo-ishi near to living areas, it is natural that the defining characteristics of kogoishi cannot be identified through the materials excavated from the ruins.
Japanese: 生活域に近い神籠石の場合、遺構中からの発掘物が無批判に神籠石の性格を規定できるものではないのも当然である。
English: Also, even if all of these were simply ancient mountain castles, as they exist in a broad area of western Japan in potentially strategic positions and have been nearly unknown until now, they are historically important when considering the period around the formation of Yamato Dynasty and the process of its creation.
Japanese: また、仮にこれらすべてが単純に古代山城であった場合でも、それらが戦略拠点たりえた状況を含めて、そのようなものが西日本の広範な地域に存在していること、現在までほとんど知られていなかったことは、大和王朝成立前後や、その過程の古代史を考える上で非常に重要なはずである。
English: Even though from the viewpoint of present-day (the early 21st century) historical study they may not be seen as very attractive, some say that they are very useful case studies because through them we can learn how history is formulated even in modern times.
Japanese: しかし、現代（21世紀初頭）の歴史研究を取り巻く環境の中で強い興味を持って捉えられることは少ないことから、歴史がどのように形成されていくのかを現代に於いて知る極めて有効な事例であるとの声もある。

Japanese: 古民家の定義に、どの時代に建てられたものか、あるいは建造され何年を経たものを指すかの定義はないが、通常戦前以前のもの、特に大正以前のものをさす場合が多い。
English: Also, in many cases, the term specifically refers to buildings built using traditional Japanese methods of construction in which such elements as nails are not used.
Japanese: また、その建築方式が釘などを使わない伝統的日本建築で建てられた建物を特定することが多い。
English: Recently in Japan the rationality and durability of these traditional Japanese construction methods using wood as the main material are being looked at again and there have been an increasing number of attempts to preserve kominka on the verge of demolition.
Japanese: 最近の日本では、こうした木造軸組構法の合理性、耐久性が見直されつつあり、取り壊される寸前の古民家を再生する試みなども多く行われている。
English: Reasons for this include an increased consciousness in recent times on the part of many Japanese in relation to the loss of traditional typical buildings and houses along the streets, environmental problems and issues surrounding Japanese identity.
Japanese: 背景には、伝統的町並みの喪失、環境問題、日本人のアイデンティティーなどの問題意識が、最近になって日本人にようやく芽生えてきたことがある。
English: There are many styles of kominka architecture depending on the purpose, period, region, climate and other factors, and there is considerable variety just within their function, being used as farm houses, the residences of village headmen, ordinary urban houses, mercantile houses, residences of samurai families and so on.
Japanese: 古民家には、その使用目的や時代、地域、気候など諸条件によって多くの建築様式があり、使用目的に限っても農家、庄屋屋敷、一般民家（都市部の民家）、商家、武家民家、建家屋敷などがある。
English: In the Magariya (a L-shaped house having a staple block) found across the Tohoku region centering on Iwate prefecture, and in the multistoried "gassho-zukuri" (a house built of wooden beams combined to form a steep thatched roof that resembles two hands together) in Shirakawago we can see specific and unique kinds of Japanese traditional house.
Japanese: 岩手県を中心に東北地方周辺にみられる曲屋、白川郷などに見られる多層階建ての合掌造りなどの特殊な民家も見られる。
English: In recent years, there has been an increase in kominka with a zinc roof over the thatched roof, ones roofed with tiles, ribbed-seam roofed houses and those with an entirely zinc roof.
Japanese: 最近はその上にトタンを貼ったものや、葺き替えて作られた、瓦葺、瓦棒葺、トタン葺などが多くなった。
English: However, many of those that have become dilapidated or with elderly owners who can no longer maintain them have been destroyed.
Japanese: しかしながら、老朽化や住人の高齢化に伴い取り壊される建築が多くなっている。
English: In contrast to the simple and easy methods used by typical present-day construction companies, the timbers used in building kominka have specific types used in specific parts of the construction.
Japanese: 古民家に使われている木材は、現在のハウスメーカーに代表される安易な方法とは異なり、いわゆる適材適所が採用されている。
English: For the perishable parts, zelkova, chestnut and Japanese cypress are used, for the joists strong varieties of pine, and for the interior sections timbers which have simple and beautiful grain or ones which are not affected by high humidity.
Japanese: 腐りやすい部分には欅、栗、桧などが使用され、梁(建築)には強度の高い松、内装には杉などの目に優しく木目の美しい木材や、調湿効果に優れた素材が使い分けられる。
English: For this reason, as long as they are reasonably maintained kominka were built to last for 200 to 300 years.
Japanese: このため、メンテナンスさえ怠らなければ、200年から300年は持つように作られている。
English: Also, the timbers are thoroughly weathered by the smoke from the irori fireplace (open hearth) and their colour changes and becomes enriched as time goes by, and the effect of the light where the light from outside becomes weakened when entering the room is a familiar aesthetic of Japanese culture, as typified in the work "Inei Raisan (In Praise of Shadows)" by Junichiro TANIZAKI.
Japanese: また、囲炉裏の煙でじっくり燻された木材は、時を経るごとに味のある色に変化していき、その経年変化と、部屋の奥に入るにしたがって、外光が減衰してゆく光の演出こそが、谷崎潤一郎が「陰影礼賛」に記したように、日本人の美学に馴染むものであった。
English: Yakuboku are trees which are planted in a Japanese garden to create a certain mood.
Japanese: 役木（やくぼく）とは日本庭園における、庭の景観の趣を出すために植えられる庭木のことである。
English: They have developed over a long period of time and through experience and do not have a particular set form.
Japanese: これらは、特に決まったものではなく、長い歴史と経験のなか培われてきたものである。
English: Thus, if shoshinboku is a needle leaf tree, then yokeiboku is a broad-leaf tree and if shoshinboku is a broad-leaf tree, yokeiboku is a needle leaf tree.
Japanese: したがって正真木が針葉樹だったら広葉樹を、正真木が広葉樹なら針葉樹を使用する。

Japanese: 棟札（むなふだ、むねふだ）は、寺社・民家など建物の建築・修築の記録・記念として、棟木・梁など建物内部の高所に取り付けた札である。
English: Sometimes the record is written directly on the joists of the buildings and they are called "ryojomei," but the purpose is the same as "muneki."
Japanese: 中には建物の部材に直接記されることもあり、これを梁上銘と呼ぶこともあるが、趣旨は同じである。
English: The messages they contain allude to the purpose of construction and renovation and construction records such as dates, the main constructors, the names of carpenters, among other references to things concerning the building.
Japanese: 書かれる内容は築造・修理の目的を記した意趣文やその年月日や建築主・大工の名・工事の目的など建築記録だが、関連して他の事に及ぶものもある。

Japanese: 棟札は普通の利用者には見えない位置に取り付けられるため、年月か経つとしばしば存在が忘れられてしまう。
English: Although the descriptions on munefuda may contain some errors, they are important historical resources relating to buildings and the history or culture of the area, and many of them are registered as cultural properties.
Japanese: 棟札に記されていることは誤記などもあるが、その建物をはじめその地域の歴史や文化に関する重要な歴史的史料となり、文化財に指定されているものも多い。

Japanese: 歴史的には、東日本に多く見られ、古代には「東屋」（あずまや）と呼ばれた。
English: The typical structure of a yosemune-zukuri roof has four sloping faces which consist of two triangle-shape roofs at "tsumagawa" (the side vertical to the omune) and two trapezoid-shape roofs at "hiragawa" (the side parallel to the omune).
Japanese: 典型的な構成の寄棟造の屋根は、4方向に勾配を持ち、長方形の平面で妻側の三角形の屋根と平側の台形の屋根からなる。
English: As yosemune-zukuri have four-way sloping roofs, the flow of rainwater drains well compared to the kirizuma-zukuri.
Japanese: 4方に傾斜を持つことから、切妻造と比較して、雨の流れがよく雨仕舞いに優れる。
English: However, as it has no vertical plane, it is likely to be badly ventilated compared to kirizuma-zukuri or irimoya-zukuri.
Japanese: その一方で、屋根部に垂直面がないために、切妻造や入母屋造と比較して小屋裏の換気が悪くなりがちである。
English: Also, sometimes several yosemune are combined to form roofs of a complex shape.
Japanese: また、複数の寄棟が組み合わされて、複雑な形状の屋根が造られることもある。
English: It is not possible to form an omune if you attempt to create a yosemune using square-shaped flat sections, as the four sections would need to be triangular.
Japanese: 正方形の平面で寄棟を造ろうとした場合には、大棟ができず、4枚の屋根がすべて三角形になる。
