English: Denshutai (Edo shogunate's army) refers to the western-style army which was organized by Edo bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun) as the elite troops of the bakufu army, and was directly trained by the French Military Advisory Group.
Japanese: 伝習隊（でんしゅうたい）とは、江戸幕府が幕府陸軍の精鋭部隊として編成した、フランス軍事顧問団の直接指導を受ける西洋式軍隊のこと。
English: The soldiers were composed of a gang of outlaws in Edo including Bakuto (gamblers), Yakuza (Japanese mafia), Kumosuke (shifty carrier), Batei (horse keeper) and Machibikeshi (civilian firefighters), and the troops received the French style military training directly from French military advisers, such as Charles Chanoine and Jules Brunet.
Japanese: 兵士には、博徒・やくざ・雲助・馬丁・町火消などの江戸の無頼の徒を徴募して編成し、シャルル・シャノワーヌやジュール・ブリュネなどのフランス軍顧問により直接フランス式の調練を施された部隊である。
English: At the surrender of Edo Castle, most of the Old Shogunate army in Edo surrendered but most of Denshutai did not surrender.
Japanese: 江戸開城時に、江戸の旧幕府軍の多くは新政府に帰順したが、伝習隊の多くは帰順しなかった。
English: When 2000 to 3000 soldiers of the feudal government's infantry and Shinsengumi (a group who guarded Kyoto during the end of Tokugawa Shogunate) escaped from Edo between February and April 1868, about 1100 soldiers of the first and second battalions of Denshutai escaped with Keisuke OTORI.
Japanese: 1868年（慶応4年）2月から4月にかけて、2000人から3000人の幕府歩兵隊や新撰組などが江戸を脱走した際に、大鳥圭介に同行して伝習第一大隊、第二大隊の1100名ほどが脱走した。
English: Escaped 2000 soldiers including Denshutai got together at Konodai in Shimousaichikawa on April 12, and formed troops with Keisuke OTORI as governor-general (commander) and Toshizo HIJIKATA as their staff officer.
Japanese: 脱走した伝習隊などの約2000人は、4月12日に下総市川の国府台に集結して、大鳥圭介を総督（隊長）、土方歳三を参謀として部隊を編成した。
English: Approximately 700 soldiers of Sofutai (a military unit) and Kaitentai (a military unit), which were troops of hatamoto shitei (children of hatamoto [direct retainers of the bakufu]) and were on separate activity, joined with them (which became Denshushikantai later) to fight together at North Kanto to Hokuriku/Aizu, and finally they fought in Goryokaku in Hokkaido.
Japanese: 別行動を取った草風隊、回天隊などの旗本子弟の部隊約700人も合流(後の伝習士官隊）、北関東から北陸・会津で戦い、最後は北海道の五稜郭へと転戦する。

Japanese: 一方、帰正隊として新政府に編入された残余の伝習隊は房総半島の鎮撫活動に活躍し、明治2年には箱館に向けて出陣し、脱走幕府軍を攻撃した。
English: Besshufusensho is a law code containing Daijokanpu (official documents from Daijokan to local governments) and imperial decrees issued between 902 and 971
Japanese: 別聚符宣抄（べっしゅうふせんしょう）は、延喜2年（902年）から天禄2年（971年）の間に発給された太政官符・宣旨を収録した法令集。
English: This old possession of the Hiromhashi family (Old possession of The Toyo Bunko Iwasaki Bunko) is the only denpon (existent manuscript) and a dead leaves book that lacks the cover, etc.
Japanese: 本書は、広橋家旧蔵本（東洋文庫旧蔵岩崎文庫本）が唯一の伝本であり、表紙等を欠く枯葉本である。
English: It used to be titled "Fusensho, separate volume", but this title was added by Katsumi Kuroita, the editor of Shintei Zouho Kokushi Taikeibon (a newly revised and enlarged edition of the Anthology of Japanese History).
Japanese: 以前は『符宣抄　別巻』と題されていたこともあったが、新訂増補国史大系本刊行の際、編者黒板勝美によって、この題目が附された。
English: The editor and the year of establishment are unknown due to the circumstances of the transmission of this book and insufficient historical information.
Japanese: また、編者・成立年代は、本書伝来の事情や、史料的不足により明らかではないが、
English: Since it was titled as "Fusensho Separate volume", it can also be considered to be related to "Ruiju fusensho", for example, a separate book of "Ruiju fusensho".
Japanese: 『符宣抄　別巻』と題されたこともあったせいか、『類聚符宣抄』との関連、例えば、『類聚符宣抄』の別本とも考えられなくもない。
English: But, it is believed to be edited originally since some Daijokanpu and imperial decrees are not included in "Ruiju fusensho".
Japanese: 収録される太政官符・宣旨のなかに、『類聚符宣抄』には収録されないものもあるため、独自に編集されたものと考えられている。
English: The compilation has a style in which each documents are divided by the same category as "Ruiju sandai kaku (assorted regulations from Three Reigns)" or "Ruiju fusensho".
Japanese: その編纂は、『類聚三代格』や『類聚符宣抄』と同じく、各文書を部目別に収録する体裁が採られているが、
English: However, since there are some incomplete parts in the classification, it is believed to have been left incomplete.
Japanese: その類聚に不完全な箇所もあり、おそらく未完のままであったと思われる。
English: The Kyoroku-Tenbun Rebellion is the general term for the internal conflict within the Hongan-ji Temple sect of Jodo Shinshu (the True Pure Land Sect of Buddhism) over the sectarian reform in the early Sengoku Period and the external war provoked by the conflict.
Japanese: 享禄・天文の乱（きょうろく・てんぶんのらん）は、戦国時代_(日本)初期の浄土真宗本願寺宗門における教団改革を巡る内紛と、これに触発されて発生した対外戦争の総称。
English: An internal conflict called the Kyoroku War or Daisho Ikki (the Big League-Little League War) in 1531
Japanese: 享禄4年（1531年）の享禄の錯乱（きょうろくのさくらん）または大小一揆（だいしょういっき）と呼ばれる内紛
English: A war against the Hosokawa and Hatakeyama clans called the Tenbun War or the Tenbun Rebellion from 1532 to 1535
Japanese: 天文_(元号)元年（1532年）から同4年（1535年）の細川氏・畠山氏などとの戦いである天文の錯乱（てんぶんのさくらん）または天文の乱（てんぶんのらん）
English: It is disputable to treat these two wars as one historical event, but both wars happened as a result of the policy by which Shonyo, the 10th chief priest of Hongan-ji Temple, and his guardian Renjun (the 6th son of Rennyo, the 8th chief priest, and also both a maternal grandfather and a grand-uncle of Shonyo) tried to strengthen the authority of hoshu (a head of a Buddhist sect).
Japanese: この2つの戦いを一括りにすることの是非については、議論の余地があるものの、両者とも本願寺10世証如と、その後見人蓮淳（8世蓮如の6男で証如の外祖父であり大叔父でもある）による法主の権限強化を図った政策方針の末に生じた出来事である。
English: The bracketed years in the sentences are based on the Julian calendar and the dates are all on one of the Japanese calendars, the long calendar of the Senmyo calendar except the ones on the western calendar.
Japanese: 文中の（　）の年はユリウス暦、月日は西暦部分を除き全て和暦、宣明暦の長暦による。
English: Although Rennyo, the 8th chief priest of Hongan-ji Temple, won local lords and peasants in Hokuriku Region and Kinai Region (the provinces surrounding Kyoto and Nara) over to his sect as believers and established the position of Hongan-ji Temple as an independent religious community, it caused discord between him and the neighboring shugo daimyo (provincial military governors) and lords of manors and also between him and the existing sects and temples.
Japanese: 8世蓮如は北陸地方や畿内において国人・農民を信者として取り込み、本願寺を独立した教団としての地位を確立させたものの、同時にそれは周辺の守護大名・荘園領主や既存の宗派・寺院との摩擦を生んだ。
English: As a result, on one hand he preached pacifism and the prohibition of uprisings, but on the other hand he had to make a hard decision to organize the Ikko-Ikki army to protect the religious community and furthermore to receive the cooperation from the secular powers such as provincial governors.
Japanese: その結果、平和主義や一揆の禁止などを説きながらも、教団を守るために一向一揆を組織し、更には守護などの世俗権力との連携をするという難しい選択に迫られることになった。
English: Especially in Kaga Province, Rennyo himself participated in the internal conflict of the Togashi clan, a provincial military governor, along with the Ikki army, believing Togashi's protection for his religious community ('Taya-shu ketsugi bun' [Resolution of Taya Group] in 1473), but after that, the Togashi clan who feared the power of the religious community oppressed them which the followers fiercely resisted to the extent that they overthrew the Togashi clan and owned the province (Kaga Ikko-Ikki Revolt).
Japanese: 特に加賀国においては教団への保護の約束を信じて蓮如自身が一揆とともに守護富樫氏の内紛に加担（文明_(日本)5年の「多屋衆決議文」）し、その後教団の力を恐れた富樫氏が弾圧を加えたため門徒らが激しく抵抗し、結果的に富樫氏を倒して一国を領有する事態となってしまっていた（加賀一向一揆）。
English: This was an incident which could lead to the 'antiestablishment' movement against the Hongan-ji sect, which was what Rennyo feared most, and in fact Yoshihisa ASHIKAGA, Seii Taishogun (literally, "great general who subdued the barbarians") of the Muromachi bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun) is said to have considered subduing Hongan-ji Temple.
Japanese: これは蓮如が一番危惧していた本願寺宗門の「反体制」視につながりかねない出来事であり、事実室町幕府征夷大将軍である足利義尚は本願寺を討伐することも検討したとされている。
English: However, since Shogunal Deputy Masamoto HOSOKAWA objected to it and also Yoshihisa died from a disease, subjugation Hongan-ji Temple was canceled, and the excommunication of the Kaga-monto (Kaga-sect) was left up in the air.
Japanese: だが、管領細川政元はこれに強く反対し、間もなく義尚自身も病死したために本願寺討伐の件は中止されて幕府から要求されていた加賀門徒の破門も有耶無耶とされた。
English: Soon, Rennyo abdicated from the hoshu of Yamashina Hongan-ji Temple in favor of his fifth son Jitsunyo, who had been chosen as the successor after the death of the first son Junnyo, and Rennyo secluded himself into Ishiyama Gobo (Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple) in Settsu Province.
Japanese: 間もなく蓮如は、長男順如の死後後継者に定めていた五男実如に山科本願寺法主の地位を譲って摂津国石山御坊に退いた。
English: For the successor Jitsunyo, abandoning his followers and discarding Kaga Province meant subordinating himself to Enryaku-ji Temple, returning to what Hongan-ji Temple was before Rennyo, where they were prohibited from preaching Shinran's creed, and almost giving up the doctrine of Jodo Shinshu itself, so he could not accept it.
Japanese: 後を継いだ実如にとっては門徒を見捨てて加賀国を放棄することは、すなわち延暦寺への従属を余儀なくされ、親鸞の教義を説くことの禁止を強要されていた蓮如以前の本願寺に戻ることであり浄土真宗の教えそのものを放棄するに等しい行為であったために受け入れられるものではなかった｡
English: Therefore, Jitsunyo tried to seek a cooperative policy with Masamoto who was solely taking a supportive position for Hongan-ji Temple, while all the present powers were cautious of Hongan-ji Temple.
Japanese: そのため実如は、全ての既存勢力が本願寺を警戒する中において唯一本願寺擁護の立場を取っていた政元との協調路線を模索するようになった。
English: A book handed down in Hongan-ji Temple, "Hongan-ji saho no shidai" (The Orders of Manners in Hongan-ji Temple), writes about the situation where the menu was changed from a vegetarian dish to a fish dish which was problematic in terms of the doctrine, under Rennyo's instruction only for Masamoto's visit to Yamashina Hongan-ji Temple.
Japanese: 『本願寺作法之次第』という本願寺に伝わる書籍には政元の山科本願寺参詣のためだけに蓮如の指示で精進料理ではなく戒律的に問題のある魚料理に献立を変更したいきさつが載せられている程である。
English: Meanwhile, Masamoto banished Shogun Yoshitane ASHIKAGA from Kyoto by the Coup of Meio and established an administration led by Kanrei (shogunal deputy) which caused provincial military governors to hold ill feelings against him.
Japanese: 一方、政元も明応の政変によって将軍足利義稙を京都から追放して管領主導の政権を樹立したために諸国の守護大名達の反感を買っていた。
English: Masamoto thought that he could believe rather the newly emerging Ikko followers than the old-guard provincial military governors.
Japanese: 政元にとってはこうした守旧派の守護達よりも新しく台頭した一揆勢力の方が信頼が置ける存在と考えていた。
English: It was natural that Hongan-ji Temple and Masamoto HOSOKAWA--the two given a hostile look from the present powers--cooperated.
Japanese: 本願寺と細川政元――既存勢力から睨まれた両者が歩み寄るのは当然の成り行きであった。
English: In 1499, when Rennyo fell into critical condition, his will was shown to his children.
Japanese: 明応8年（1499年）、蓮如が危篤に陥ると遺言が彼の子供達に示された。
English: Rennyo wanted the solidarity among his families which were the direct descendants of Shinran and also wanted his children who became chief priests at various places, especially Jitsunyo who succeeded to hoshu, to protect the religious community as the guarding walls.
Japanese: 蓮如は親鸞直系の末裔である一族の団結を求め、法主を継承した実如を中心に各地の住持となった子供達がその藩屏として教団を守ってゆくことを求めた。
English: Especially in Kaga Province, Shoko-ji Temple of the 3rd son Renko, Kokyo-ji Temple of the 4th son Rensei, and Honsen-ji Temple of the 7th son Rengo (the first chief priest was the second son Renjo)--'Gashu Sanka-ji Temples (Kaga Sanzan) [Three Temples in Kaga Province]'--were placed at the top as local representatives of hoshu and required to direct the temples and followers in the province (this system was especially called the 'ryogozan' (two temples) system because of the two virtually highest executive temples, Shoko-ji Temple and Honsen-ji Temple).
Japanese: 特に加賀においては3男蓮綱の松岡寺・4男蓮誓の光教寺・7男蓮悟の本泉寺（初代住持は次男蓮乗）の「賀州三ヶ寺（加賀三山）」を法主の現地における代行として頂点に置き国内の寺院・門徒を統率することが求められていた（この体制を特に事実上の最高執行機関となった松岡寺と本泉寺の両寺院より「両御山」体制も呼ぶ）。
English: This ruling system can be seen in the fact that the orders such as bugyonin hosho (magistrate orders) given from the Muromachi bakufu to provincial governors in the late Bunmei Era when the Togashi clan still existed, were not sent to Masachika TOGASHI but sent directly to Renko and Rengo.
Japanese: その支配体制は富樫氏滅亡以前である文明年間末期の段階において室町幕府が守護に対して下す奉行人奉書などの命令書が富樫政親ではなく直接蓮綱・蓮悟あてに送付されていることからでも分かる。
English: After the death of Rennyo who married five wives among whom four died and begot thirteen sons and fourteen daughters in his lifetime, discord erupted between his family.
Japanese: だが、生涯に4人の妻と死別して5人の妻を娶り、13男14女を儲けた蓮如の死後、一族間に不協和音が見られるようになる。
English: In 1505, dominant shugo guardian feudal lords such as the Hatakeyama and Asakura clans began a military action in concert to counter Masamoto HOSOKAWA.
Japanese: 永正2年（1505年）、細川政元に対抗するため畠山氏をはじめ朝倉氏などの有力守護大名が一斉に軍事作戦を開始した。
English: For Hongan-ji Temple, Echizen Province, the territory of the Asakura clan, was not only located to the direct south of Kaga, but there were many temples and followers including Yoshizaki Gobo which was once Rennyo's foothold, and Noto Province and Ecchu Province, the territory of the Hatakeyama clan was not only located to the direct north of Kaga, but Gashu Sanka-ji Temples virtually ruled Tonami County in Ecchu where the Hatakeyama clan was always trying to recapture.
Japanese: 本願寺にとって朝倉氏の領国である越前国は加賀の南隣であるだけでなく蓮如のかつての拠点吉崎御坊をはじめとして多くの寺院・門徒がおり、畠山氏の領国である能登国・越中国も加賀の北隣であるだけでなく越中の砺波郡は賀州三ヶ寺の事実上支配下にあり、かねてから畠山氏はその奪還を狙っていた。
English: After receiving a cooperation request from Masamoto by his direct visit, Jitsunyo mobilized all his followers in Hokuriku and Kinai and ordered the ones in Hokuriku to attack the nearby three provinces and the ones in Kinai to attack Kawachi Province, the Hatakeyama clan's base ground.
Japanese: そこで政元直々の訪問による協力依頼を受けた実如は北陸・畿内の信徒を総動員して北陸門徒は周辺3国へ、畿内門徒は畠山氏の根拠地である河内国への侵攻を命令した。
English: However, since Renno, the last wife of Rennyo, who kept living in Ishiyama Gobo after Rennyo's death, was from the Hatakeyama clan and also since the followers in Settsu and Kawachi had long kept a friendly relationship with the Hatakeyama clan for that reason, they were dissatisfied with the decision and asked to change hoshu by backing up Jitsugen at 17, who was the 1st son of Renno, the 9th son of Rennyo and a chief priest of Ishiyama Gobo.
Japanese: ところが蓮如の最後の妻でその死後も石山御坊に在住していた蓮能は畠山氏出身で、また摂津・河内の門徒達もその関係により長年畠山氏と友好的な関係を維持してきたためにこの決定に不満を抱き、蓮能の長子で石山御坊の住持であった蓮如の9男で17歳の実賢を擁立して法主交替を求めた。
English: In January 1506, Jitsunyo sent Raikei SHIMOTSUMA to deal with it and either arrested or banished Renno, Jitsugen, Jitsujun (11th son), and Jitsuju (13th son), and in Kaga, Jitsugo (10th son) who had been adopted by Rengo of Honsen-ji Temple was virtually disinherited.
Japanese: 実如はこれに対して永正3年（1506年）1月、下間頼慶を派遣して蓮能・実賢・実順（11男）・実従（13男）を逮捕・追放して、加賀でも本泉寺蓮悟の養子となっていた実悟（10男）が事実上廃嫡された。
English: This is called 'Osaka ichiran' (A Disturbance in Osaka) or 'Kawachikoku sakuran' (Kawachi Province Disturbance) (this is because many supporters of Jitsugen were from Kawachi while Ishiyama Gobo [Osaka] was located in Settsu Province).
Japanese: これを「大坂一乱」または「河内国錯乱」と呼ぶ（石山御坊（大坂）は摂津国だが、実賢支持者に河内出身者が多くいたためである）。
English: However, Jitsunyo lost against the Asakura clan in the Battle of Kuzuryugawa, and the Asakura clan destroyed Yoshizaki Gobo in return and prohibited believing in the Ikko sect, so some of the few branch temples that had existed before Rennyo such as Chosho-ji Temple, Hongaku-ji Temple (in Komatsu City) escaped to Kaga with their followers.
Japanese: だが、朝倉氏との戦いは九頭竜川の戦いで敗れて逆に朝倉氏によって吉崎御坊は破壊された上に本願寺門徒への禁宗令が出され、蓮如以前からある数少ない末寺である超勝寺・本覚寺(小松市)などは信者を連れて加賀に逃れた。
English: In the battle against the Hatakeyama clan too, Rennyo only subjugated Yoshikage NAGAO (Shugodai [deputy military governor] of the Uesugi clan) of Echigo Province, who came as reinforcements to the Battle of Hannya-no (Sengoku Period).
Japanese: 一方畠山氏との戦いでも般若野の戦い(戦国時代)で援軍に来た越後国の長尾能景（上杉氏守護代）を討ち取っただけに留まり成果はあげられなかった。
English: On August 1, 1507, Masamoto HOSOKAWA was assassinated by the supporters of his adopted son Sumiyuki HOSOKAWA, who started a battle against another adopted son Sumimoto HOSOKAWA.
Japanese: そして、永正4年6月23日(旧暦)（1507年8月1日））、細川政元は養子・細川澄之の支持者によって暗殺され、更にもう一人の養子である細川澄元との戦いを開始した。
English: Jitsunyo, who heard of this, escaped the very next day in fear for the consequences to Myoken and his child Myoshu at Honpuku-ji Temple in Katata, Omi Province.
Japanese: これを知った実如は後難を恐れて翌日には近江国堅田本福寺の明顕・明宗_(僧)親子を頼って逃走した。
English: The disturbance continued in which Sumiyuki HOSOKAWA was killed first and then Sumimoto HOSOKAWA was slew, and the one who finally took the administration was Takakuni HOSOKAWA, the toughest hard-liner against Hongan-ji Temple.
Japanese: その後混乱は続き、まずは細川澄之が、続いて細川澄元が討たれて、最終的に政権を奪ったのは本願寺に対して一番の強硬派であった細川高国であった。
English: In this way, Jitsunyo was forced to live in Omi Katata for two years until he went back to Yamashina Hongan-ji Temple on April 21, 1509.
Japanese: かくして実如は、永正6年3月22日(旧暦)に山科本願寺に復帰するまでの2年間を近江堅田で生活することになった。
English: The death of Masamoto HOSOKAWA and the following two years of exile caused big damage to Jitsunyo.
Japanese: 細川政元の死とその後の2年間の亡命生活は実如にとっては大きな打撃であった。
English: Then, Jitsunyo decided to entrust the management of the religious community to Ennyo, his 2nd son and successor and Renjun, his younger maternal half-brother, the 6th son of Rennyo, a father-in-law of Ennyo, and the chief priest of both Omi Kensho-ji Temple and Gansho-ji Temple in Ise Province.
Japanese: そこで実如は寺の実務を次男で後継者となっていた円如と自分の同母弟で蓮如の6男にして円如の舅でもあった近江顕証寺･伊勢国願証寺両寺の住持を兼ねていた蓮淳に教団運営を任せることにした。
English: First of all, they selected 80 letters from the documents written by Rennyo, called 'Ofumi,' edited them into five quires to determine the basic doctrine of the sect.
Japanese: まず蓮如の著した「御文」と呼ばれる文書の中から80通を選んで5帖に編集し宗門信条の基本とした。
English: They made the followers in various places in Hokuriku write covenants and hand them over to Rensei, who had a chance to come to Kyoto for the treatment of his disease, to turn them in.
Japanese: 北陸各地の門徒達から偶々病気治療のために上洛する蓮誓に誓約書を託させて提出させた。
English: The second law prohibited building new temples and ordered reorganization of the existing temples, and at the same time it was decided that the hoshu of the head temple Hongan-ji Temple only had the right to decide temples' names.
Japanese: 二つ目は新しい坊（寺）の建設禁止と既存の坊の整理統合を命じたもので、同時に寺号付与の権利を本山である本願寺法主のみが保持することになった。
English: This created family ranks among temples belonging to the Hongan-ji Temple family which were called 'ikkeshu' (the same lineage people as the Hongan-ji Temple).
Japanese: これは従来「一家衆」と呼ばれていた本願寺の一族寺院の間に家格を定めたことである。
English: These laws concentrated the power to hoshu which was succeeded by the direct lineage called 'Shinran no michi no michi' (literally, the way of Shinran's blood) and established the superiority of renshi and ichimon which acted as guarding walls.
Japanese: これにより｢親鸞の御血の道｣と呼ばれた直系が継承する法主に権限を集約し、その藩屏たる連枝・一門の優位が定められたのである。
English: These series of reforms curbed activities of the Ikko-Ikki army and can be said to have drastically changed its policy with a view to coexisting with the bakufu, local daimyo (feudal lords) in various places, and other religious schools.
Japanese: こうした一連の改革は一向一揆の活動を抑制し、幕府や各地の大名、他宗派との共存を目的とするものでこれまでの政策の大転換ともいえるものであった。
English: In 1518, Rene of Hongaku-ji Temple, who had been banished from Echizen by the Asakura clan and sheltered in Kaga appealed to Rengo of Honsen-ji Temple that he would have difficulty in coming back to Echizen due to the prohibition of wars stipulated in 'Sanhourei' and disputed with him, as a result of which Rengo reported it to hoshu and Rene was excommunicated.
Japanese: 永正15年、朝倉氏によって越前を追放されて加賀に逃れていた本覚寺蓮恵が「三法令」の戦争の禁止によって越前への帰還が困難になると本泉寺蓮悟に苦情を申し立てて相論となったところ、蓮悟の上申で破門処分となった。
English: Then, Renjun of Kensho-ji Temple reported to hoshu that Meiso of Katata Honpuku-ji Temple, where Jitsunyo evacuated, was doing wrong and Meiso was excommunicated (Renjun did it for another purpose and Honpuku-ji Temple is said to have suffered a false charge; the details are mentioned later).
Japanese: 続いて顕証寺蓮淳が先に実如が退避した堅田本福寺の明宗に不正ありと上申して破門処分となった（ただし蓮淳の場合には、別の意図により起こしたもので実際には本福寺は冤罪であったとされている（詳細は後述））。
English: Both temples were forgiven soon after, but the previous chief priest of Honpuku-ji Temple Myoken had offered shelter not only to Jitsunyo as mentioned before, but also to Rennyo when he was banished from Kyoto by Enryaku-ji Temple and the previous chief priest of Hongaku-ji Temple Renko had welcomed Rennyo by building up Yoshizaki Gobo.
Japanese: 両寺院ともすぐに許されたものの、本福寺の先代明顕は先の実如の件のみならず、蓮如が延暦寺によって京都を追われた際にもこれを匿い、本覚寺の先代蓮光はその蓮如のために吉崎御坊を建立してこれを迎え入れた人物であった。
English: However, the hoshu and renshi excommunicated even their sons without mercy, and the followers were frightened with their power.
Japanese: その息子達でさえも容赦なく破門した法主・連枝の権力に信徒は震え上がったという。
English: In 1521, Ennyo died and four years later in 1525, Jitsunyo also died.
Japanese: だが、永正18年（1521年）に円如が死去、4年後の大永5年（1525年）には実如も死去してしまう。
English: Worried about the future of Shonyo, a bereaved child of Ennyo (born in 1516, he was 10 when Jitsunyo died), Jitsunyo left the will to instruct five priests, Renjun, Rengo, Jitsuen (at Honso-ji Temple in Mikawa Province; the 4th son of Jitsunyo and the only male child alive), Renkei (Renko's legitimate child), and Kensei (Renyo's legitimate child) to practice loyalty to Shonyo, to protect the doctrine that had been kept since Sinran, and to coexist with the present political and religious powers.
Japanese: 遺された円如の遺児証如（永正13年（1516年）生まれ、実如死去時10歳）の将来を危惧した実如は蓮淳･蓮悟･実円（三河国本宗寺、実如の4男で現存していた唯一の男子）・蓮慶（蓮綱の嫡子）・顕誓（蓮誉の嫡子）の5人に証如への忠誠と親鸞以来の教義の擁護、既存の政治・宗教勢力との共存を遺言した。
English: Especially to Renjun, who was the maternal grandfather of Shonyo and the only priest who lived in the Kinai region, Jitsunyo entrusted Shonyo and asked him to be his guardian.
Japanese: そして、特に証如の外祖父であり、5人中唯一の畿内在住であった蓮淳にはその後見と養護を託した。
English: Although Rennyo had five wives in his lifetime and left thirteen sons, the children of the last wife Renno were expelled by 'Osaka ichiran' mentioned above, and Rengei, the child of the 4th wife died before Rennyo after he built Kyogo-ji Temple in Tomita, Settsu Province, and the 3rd wife did not have a son.
Japanese: さて蓮如には生前に5人の妻を娶り、13人の男子があったが、最後の妻蓮能の子供達は先の「大坂一乱」で排斥され、4番目の妻の子蓮芸は摂津国富田(高槻市)に教行寺を建てた後に実如に先立って死去、3番目の妻には男子がいなかった。
English: In such a situation, the seven sons, the bereaved children of the first wife Nyoryo and her real younger sister Rensuke, the second wife who bore Jitsunyo, naturally became objects of followers' respect.
Japanese: その中で、自然と最初の妻である如了とその実妹で実如を生んだ2番目の妻蓮祐の遺した7人の男子の存在は宗門の間で崇敬の対象となっていった。
English: Even though Jyunnyo (who died before his father) and Jitsunyo were treated as successor and the four of the other five sons were dispatched to Hokuriku and virtually gained the positions of kokushu (landed daimyo) in Kaga and the surrounded provinces, the sixth son Renjun was appointed to the chief priest of Kensho-ji Temple which Jyunnyo left and forced to remain in Kinai, which made him discontent about not being given an important mission in the religious community.
Japanese: ところが、後継者とされた順如（父に先立ち死去）・実如はともかく、他の5人の男子のうち4人が北陸に派遣されて共同で加賀とその周辺の事実上の国主としての地位を得たのにも関わらず、6男の蓮淳だけは順如が遺した顕証寺の住持に補されて畿内に留められ、教団内において大きな仕事を与えられてこなかったことに不満を抱いていた。
English: But given the position of protector and guardian of the new hoshu, Renjun now gained the power exceeding that of his brothers in Hokuriku and began to expand the authority of the hoshu Shonyo, grandson of Renjun.
Japanese: だが、ここで新法主の保護者・後見人の地位が与えられたことで一躍北陸の兄弟を上回る権力を持つ事となった蓮淳は孫である法主・証如の権力拡大に乗り出すことになった。
English: This actually aimed to expand the guardian Renjun's authority, but formally he was following the policy that had been kept since Jitsunyo, 'the establishment of the power structure with hoshu at the top,' and for this legitimate reason, no one could raise an objection against him.
Japanese: これは裏を返せば後見人である蓮淳自身の権力拡大が目的であったが、形式上は「法主を頂点とした権力機構の確立」という実如以来の方針に忠実に従ったものであったから、この大義名分を前に異論を挿める者は存在しなかった。
