Japanese: この家督争いが足利将軍家や畠山氏の家督相続と関係して1467年の応仁の乱を引き起こす原因の1つになる。
English: During the Onin War, Yoshitoshi and Yoshikado went down to their own territories to reign the whole region; however, the Shiba clan lost most of its own territories after Totomi Province was captured by the Imagawa clan and Echizen Province by the Asakura clan, and only a descendant of Yoshitoshi remained in Owari Province as recommended by the Oda clan, which was Shugodai.
Japanese: 応仁の乱に際しては義敏も義廉も領国に下ってその一円支配を目指すものの、遠江国を今川氏に、越前国を朝倉氏に奪われて領国の大半を失い、尾張国で義敏の子孫が守護代の織田氏に推戴されて存続するのみとなった。
English: Furthermore, Yoshitoshi SHIBA, a son of Yoshikado SHIBA, succeeded Kuratani kubo of Echizen, a branch family of the Muromachi shogunate family, and became a figurehead of Echizen Province as recommended by the Asakura clan.
Japanese: なお、斯波義廉の子斯波義俊は、室町将軍家の分家である越前の鞍谷公方を継ぎ、形式的な越前国主として朝倉氏に推戴された。
English: Although the Shiba clan ended up holding only Owari Province, it did not become a Kairai (puppet) of the Oda clan immediately after the Onin War.
Japanese: 尾張国のみを残すところとなった斯波氏であるが、応仁の乱後にすぐさま織田氏の傀儡となったわけではない。
English: The Shiba clan seems to have maintained the authority of Shugo judging from the fact that Yoshihiro SHIBA participated in Rokkaku subjugation by the Muromachi Shogun with the Oda clan and that Yoshitatsu SHIBA repeatedly went to war to recapture Totomi Province.
Japanese: 斯波義寛が室町将軍による六角征伐へ織田氏を従えて参陣していることや、斯波義達が遠江国奪還のための出陣を繰り返すなど、依然、守護としての威令は保っていたようである。
English: When Yoshitatsu was defeated by Ujichika IMAGAWA and failed to recapture Totomi Province and Yoshimune SHIBA became the family head in early life, the Oda clan extended its influence further and completely surpassed the Shiba clan, the Shugo.
Japanese: しかし義達が今川氏親に敗れ遠江国奪還に失敗し、斯波義統が年少で当主となると、以後は織田氏の力が更に強まり、守護である斯波氏を完全に凌駕するようになる。
English: An incident occurred for the Shiba clan in 1554, in which Yoshimune SHIBA was killed by Shugodai, Nobutomo ODA.
Japanese: 斯波氏は1554年、ついに斯波義統が守護代の織田信友に殺される事件が起こる。
English: Nobunaga took advantage of the fact that Nobutomo killed Shugo, the Shiba clan, which meant a rebellion against Shugo, and succeeded in destroying Nobutomo.
Japanese: しかし、信友が守護である斯波氏を討った、すなわち、守護への反逆をおこなったため、信長はこれを口実に信友を滅ぼすことに成功した。
English: Furthermore, Nobunaga temporarily retired and returned his whole territories to the Shiba clan merely for form's sake to deceive several other clans, and entered into an alliance with the Kira clan and the Imagawa clan.
Japanese: さらに信長は諸国の目を欺くため、一時、隠居し所領のすべてを斯波氏に返上した形をとり、吉良氏、今川氏との同盟を結んだ。
English: The story goes like this: On the occasion of the formation of the alliance between the Shiba clan and the Kira clan, Nobunaga accompanied Yoshikane to have a meeting with Yoshiaki KIRA from the Kira clan, and they caused a confrontation over the seating order.
Japanese: この時のエピソードとして、斯波氏が吉良氏と同盟する折、信長は義銀に随従し、同盟相手である吉良義昭への会見に臨んだが、席次をめぐって対立を起こしたという。
English: Although the Kira clan had the succession right determining that 'the Kira clan will become Shogun after Ashikaga Shogun Family falls,' Nobunaga insisted that the Shiba clan was equally high in status in Bakufu, maintaining the family name of Ashikaga after the Kamakura period.
Japanese: 吉良氏は「足利将軍家が滅んだ後は吉良氏が将軍職に」と定められた将軍継承権を有する家であったが、斯波氏も鎌倉時代以降、足利の名字を有し続け、幕府にて高い格式を誇り、引け目はないと主張したのである。
English: At any rate, the two families entered into an alliance as best they could even through they had an argument, but ended up conspiring together against Nobunaga.
Japanese: ともあれ、いさかいを起こしながらも、一応同盟を結んだ両家は次第にともに共謀して反信長に結束することになる。
English: In 1561, Yoshikane plotted to subdue Nobunaga by gaining Yoshiaki KIRA and Ishibashidono, one family of the Shiba clan and a grand person in Bakufu, as his ally; however, he was expelled since the plot was disclosed before something happened.
Japanese: 1561年に義銀は吉良義昭や、斯波氏の一族で幕府の重鎮の家柄であった石橋殿を味方に引き入れ、信長討伐の陰謀を図るものの、未然に発覚して追放された。
English: Hideyori MORI, the first younger brother of Yoshikane, served Nobunaga ODA, and the third younger brother, Yoshifuyu TSUGAWA, served Nobukatsu ODA, the second son of Nobunaga.
Japanese: 義銀の次弟は毛利秀頼として織田信長に仕え、三弟は津川義冬として信長の次男　織田信雄に仕えた。
English: It consisted of the Kosuiji Shiba clan, the Osaki clan, the Mogami clan, the Tendo clan (Originally the Satomi clan, on the line of Iekane SHIBA), the Ishibashi clan, and the Shionomatsu clan.
Japanese: 高水寺斯波氏、大崎氏、最上氏、天童氏（元々は里見氏、斯波家兼の系統）、石橋氏、塩松氏などがある。
English: To begin with, Shiba-gun County of Mutsu Province is said to have been the origin of the family name of the Shiba clan, so the Oshu region was the birthplace for the Shiba clan.
Japanese: そもそも斯波氏の名乗りの起源は陸奥紫波郡とされており、奥州は斯波氏にとっては本貫である。
English: During the period of the Northern and Southern Courts (Japan), Ienaga SHIBA and then Iekane SHIBA exercised the right of military command over the Ou region as 'Supreme Commander of Oshu.'
Japanese: 南北朝時代(日本)には斯波家長、ついで斯波家兼が「奥州総大将」として奥羽での軍事指揮権を発動した。
English: Afterward, the Supreme Commander of Oshu was raised in status of the Oshu Kanrei which held not only the right of military command but also the authorities for Kendan (Policing and adjudication authority) and Sata (Order), securement of fief in the ruling provinces and the recommendation for rewards, and so on.
Japanese: その後、奥州総大将は軍事指揮権だけでなく、検断、沙汰の権限、管国内の知行安堵、恩賞などの推挙権を持つ奥州管領に格上げされる。
English: During the period of the Kanno Disturbance, Kuniuji HATAKEYAMA (Oshu Kanrei [governor of Oshu]), Sadaie KIRA, and others were appointed as the Supreme Commander of Oshu, which was later taken up by the Shiba Oshu family, a descendant of Iekane SHIBA, and kept in the order of succession after that.
Japanese: 観応の擾乱期には畠山国氏(奥州管領)、吉良貞家らが任ぜられたが、斯波家兼の子孫である斯波奥州家がやがて就任し、世襲する。
English: Since the period of the Northern and Southern Courts, in the Ou region, there was a unique system called 'Bungun' (Independent county) in which the powerful Kokujin (local lords) were given the right of military command and of Kendan in each county, which meant the great influence of the powerful Kokujin.
Japanese: 奥羽は南北朝期から、郡ごとに有力国人に軍事指揮権や権断権など強い権限を与えた「分郡」とも呼ばれる独自の制度があり、非常に有力国人の力が強かった。
English: The Shiba Oshu family, the Oshu Kanrei, considerably tended to confine itself in the Osaki-gun County under the Bungun system and ended up being called the Osaki clan.
Japanese: 奥州管領の斯波奥州家も大崎郡を分郡として引きこもる傾向が強くなり、大崎氏と呼ばれるようになる。
English: The Ou region was at one time incorporated into the jurisdiction of the Kamakura Government, but after the Oshu Tandai was established, the Osaki clan filled the position of Tandai for generations.
Japanese: 一時奥羽は鎌倉府管内に編入されるが、奥州探題職が作られた後は、大崎氏が代々探題に就任する。
English: Although Tandai (Local commissioner) is thought to have possessed the same authority as Kanrei did, it was not so influential as in the period of the Oshu Kanrei, due to the facts that the powerful Kokujin in the Oshu region later became 'the Kyoto fuchishu' by entering into the feudal master-servant relationship directly with the Shogun family and that the branch families of the Kamakura kubo (Governor-general of the Kanto region) including Sasagawa Gosho (Palace) and Inamura Gosho entered into the southern part of the Oshu region and exercised influence.
Japanese: 探題は管領と同じ権限を持ったと思われるが、のちに奥州の有力国人は将軍家と直接主従関係を結ぶ「京都扶持衆」となり、奥州南半には篠川御所、稲村御所など鎌倉公方の分家が入府し、勢力を持っていたため、奥州管領時代のような威勢は無くなった。
English: Before long, the Osaki clan ended up being pressured by the expanding Date clan and declined.
Japanese: やがて大崎氏は次第に膨張する伊達氏の圧力をまともに受けることとなり、衰退する。
English: Since Yoshinao OSAKI was not able to suppress the disturbance in the family unassisted, he obtained assistance from the Date clan by receiving a child for adoption and put down the disturbance.
Japanese: 大崎義直は家中の騒乱を自力で鎮圧できず、伊達氏から養子を迎えることで支援を受け鎮圧した。
English: When Masamune DATE went on an expedition against Osaki (a siege of Osaki), Yoshinao was forced to engage in a bitter struggle; however, he barely kept the family in existence thanks to Haruuji KUROKAWA, a branch family of the Mogami clan, who switched to the Osaki side.
Japanese: 伊達政宗が大崎征伐に乗り出すと苦戦を強いられたが、最上氏庶流の黒川晴氏が大崎方に寝返ったことで家の命脈だけは保つことができた。
English: Around the same period of time as the Oshu Tandai was established, the Ushu Tandai was also established in Dewa province, and its position was kept in the order of the succession by the Shiba Dewa family, a branch family of the Shiba Oshu family.
Japanese: 奥州探題が設置されたのとほぼ同時期、出羽にも羽州探題が設立され、斯波奥州家の分流の斯波出羽家が探題を世襲する。
English: The Mogami clan before long came under the umbrella of the Date clan, becoming a Kairai (Puppet); however, it gradually recovered its independence, and expanded its territory to Dewa province under Yoshiaki MOGAMI, which caused a fierce conflict with the Uesugi clan over the Shonai region.
Japanese: 最上氏もやがて伊達氏の傘下に組み込まれ傀儡化されたが、次第に独立を果たし、最上義光の時に出羽に領国を広げ、庄内地方をめぐり上杉氏と激しく抗争した。
English: Afterward, it participated in the Siege of Odawara led by Kanpaku (Chief adviser to the Emperor) Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI and was given an approval for its territory as Daimyo of 200,000 koku (approximately 36 million liters of crop yield).
Japanese: その後、関白豊臣秀吉の小田原の役に参陣し20万石の大名として所領を安堵される。

Japanese: しかし、孫の最上義俊の代に御家騒動が起こり、江戸幕府の命により改易とされ、大名としての最上氏は滅亡した。
English: Although Yoshitoshi was newly given 10,000 koku (approximately 1.8 million liters of crop yield) in Omi Province, the stipend was reduced to 5,000 koku after the death of Yoshitoshi due to his son Yoshitomo MOGAMI being too young, and the descendants continued to exist as Kotaiyoriai (alternate yoriai, a family status of samurai warriors in the Edo period).
Japanese: 義俊は改めて近江国に一万石を与えられたが、義俊の死後、子の最上義智が幼少であったため5000石に減ぜられ、子孫は交代寄合として続いた。

Japanese: 高水寺城を拠点に栄えた斯波氏（奥州斯波御所家）の一族は斯波家長の直系子孫。
English: Although a simple family tree was more or less taken up in the "Zoku Gunshoruiju" (Second series Collection of the Japanese historical materials compiled in the Edo period), it is not necessarily certain without enough supporting documents.
Japanese: 一応、『続群書類従』には簡易な系図が挙げられているものの裏付となる資料も乏しく、系図は必ずしもはっきりしていない。
English: The Kosuiji Shiba clan was such a distinguished family that it was referred to as the honorific titles like 'Shiba-gosho' and 'Oku no Shiba-dono' and was on the same level as the Osaki clan in the Shosatsurei (Remarks on the Concept of Epistolary Etiquette).

English: In many cases, samurai families in Japan call themselves a descendant of so-called 'genpeitokitsu' (shortened expression of four major families) or other central nobles, however, the Ouchi clan calls itself a descendant of Rinsho taishi, the third prince of Seongmyeong-wang of Paekche.
