Japanese: 時子の夫平清盛が平氏政権を樹立していくのに従って立身し、法勝寺の執行に任ぜられる。
English: Although he was a Buddhist monk, he married FUJIWARA no Noriko, the daughter of FUJIWARA no Norikane, and had a daughter, Zaishi.
Japanese: 僧侶の身ではあったが藤原範兼の娘の藤原範子と結婚し、一女・在子を儲けた。
English: After Noriko became the wet nurse of Imperial Prince Takahira, the fourth prince of Emperor Takakura, he expanded his network of contacts at the Imperial Court.
Japanese: 範子が高倉天皇の第四皇子尊成親王の乳母になると、宮廷にも人脈を拡大した。
English: However, his fortunes underwent a rapid deterioration after he followed the flight of the Ise-Heishi (Taira clan) from Kyoto in 1183.
Japanese: しかし、寿永2年（1183年）の伊勢平氏一門の都落ちに従ったことから運命が暗転する。
English: Immediately afterward, Imperial Prince Takahira ascended the throne as Emperor Gotoba, but Noen was at the west sea far from the capital and heard the news to no avail.
Japanese: 直後に尊成親王は後鳥羽天皇として即位するが、能円は遠く西海にあり、虚しくその報を聞くのみであった。
English: When the Taira family was destroyed at the Battle of Dan no Ura in 1185, he was sent to the capital as a captive, whereupon he was judged and condemned to exile in Bicchu Province.
Japanese: やがて元暦元年（1185年）に壇ノ浦の合戦で平家が滅亡すると、捕虜として都に送られ、裁きの上備中国への流罪となった。
English: Noen was pardoned and went back to Kyoto in 1189, but Noriko had already given birth to MINAMOTO no Sadamichi and MINAMOTO no Michikata by Michichika, and was carrying another child.
Japanese: 能円は文治5年（1189年）に赦免され帰洛するが、範子は既に通親との間に源定通、源通方らを産み、更に懐妊中という状態であった。
English: Zaishi won the favor of Emperor Gotoba, and gave birth to Imperial Prince Tamehito in 1196.
Japanese: 在子は後鳥羽天皇の寵愛を受け、建久6年（1196年）に皇子為仁親王を生む。
English: When he ascended the throne as Emperor Tsuchimikado in 1198, Noen became the maternal grandfather of an emperor by blood relationship, but he never received treatment befitting that fact.
Japanese: 同親王は建久9年（1198年）に土御門天皇として即位し、能円は血縁上は天皇の外祖父となったが、それに相応しい厚遇を受けることはなかった。
English: With sidelong glances at Michichika's increasing influence, he died in 1199.
Japanese: 通親の権勢が増していくのを横目に、正治元年（1199年）に死去している。
English: There are two types of structures, one of which is to place the lotus-shaped support of a pagoda finial on the base and place a slightly rounded, long, egg-shaped pagoda body upon it.
Japanese: 形式としては二種類あり、一つは基礎の上に請花をのせ、その上に丸みをおびた長い卵形の塔身をのせるものである。
English: Another type is to place a pedestal called a Rokkaku pole (hexagonal pole) or a Hakkaku pole (octagonal pole) on the base and put Chudai (literally, a stand in the middle), the lotus-shaped support of a pagoda finial and an egg-shaped pagoda on the pedestal.
Japanese: もう一つは、基礎の上に六角または八角の竿と呼ばれる台座の上に中台、請花、卵形塔身がのる。
English: Because this egg-shaped pagoda is seamless (made of just one stone), it's called Muhoto (Chinese characters used for Muhoto have the meaning "seamless").
Japanese: なお、この卵形塔身に縫い目がない（一つの石だけで構成されている）ことから無縫塔の名がある。
English: There appeared various new, elaborately shaped types of pagodas in the medieval period, chiefly because the quality of the materials in use had changed; hard stones such as granite and Anzangan rock (andesite) were substituted for a fragile stone called tuff (volcanic tuff); a mason of the Okura group entered the Kanto region and actively worked; the technologies advanced; and the Kamakura New Buddhism (new schools of Japanese Buddhism founded during the Kamakura period), including the Zen sect from the continent, evolved.
Japanese: 中世期の石塔は、それまでのもろい凝灰岩から硬質の花崗岩や安山岩の利用といった材質の変化、また関東に入った大蔵系石工の活躍、技術の進歩、大陸から入った禅宗を含む鎌倉新仏教の台頭などによって、複雑な形を持った新たな形式が数多く登場した。
English: In the Heian period, Gorinto pagodas (gravestones composed of five pieces piled up one upon another) were built, and in the Kamakura period the construction of Hokyoin-to pagoda, board monuments and Komainu (a pair of carved stone guardian dogs) appeared.
Japanese: 平安期からの五輪塔をはじめ、鎌倉期には宝篋印塔、板碑、狛犬などが新たに造られるようになった。
English: Muhoto and the Zen sect arrived in Japan from the Sung Dynasty in the Kamakura period, and Muhoto, which was constructed in the same style as the original one, still exists in China.
Japanese: 無縫塔も、鎌倉期に禅宗とともに大陸宋(王朝)から伝わった形式で、現存例は中国にもある。
English: Beginning in recent times, Muhoto was used by any religious sect and was also used as a tomb tower for people other than priests.
Japanese: 近世期以後は宗派を超えて利用されるようになり、また僧侶以外の人の墓塔としても使われた。
English: The Kaizanto of Sennyu-ji Temple (Kyoto Prefecture) is a tomb tower of Shunjo KAISAN (Fukaki Osho, a high priest as Daiko Shobo Kokushi (National Master Daiko Shobo)).
Japanese: 泉涌寺（京都府）開山塔　開山俊芿（しゅんじょう：不可棄和尚、大興正法国師）の墓塔。
English: Among the type of Muhoto with poles, it is thought to be the oldest one known to exist, having been built in or around 1227.
Japanese: 竿を持つ形式の無縫塔としては、確認されている現存最古で安貞元年(1227年)頃のものと推測されている。
English: There are several towers that are very similar to the type of Muhoto in Sennyu-ji Temple--mainly in the Kansai area--having the rounded, lotus-shaped support of a pagoda finial.
Japanese: また円形請花をもったこの泉涌寺塔と似た形式の塔は、関西を中心に複数存在する。
English: The Kaizanto at Kencho-ji Temple (Kanagawa Prefecture) is a tomb tower of Doryu RANKEI Kaizan (Daikaku Zenji (Daikaku, a Zen priest who was sufficiently esteemed, learned and virtuous)), who left China during the Sung.
Japanese: 建長寺（神奈川県）開山塔　宋出身で開山の蘭渓道隆（大覚禅師）の墓塔。
English: To-ji Choja is the chief abbot of To-ji Temple (Kyoogokoku-ji Temple), and acts as its manager and Kami (director).
Japanese: 東寺長者（とうじちょうじゃ）は、東寺（教王護国寺）の管理者・長官である僧侶の呼称。
English: To-ji Choja is simply called Choja as an official name, but Choja is often called To-ji Choja because Choja is confused with uji no choja (the head of the clan).
Japanese: 正式には単に長者（ちょうじゃ）と呼ばれているが、氏長者と紛らわしいために「東寺長者」と呼ばれることが多い。
English: Jichie was appointed as the first To-ji Choja in 836, according to the goyuigo (will) of Kukai, who established the Shingon sect.
Japanese: 真言宗を開いた空海の御遺告（ごゆいごう、遺言）に従って承和(日本)3年（836年）に実恵が任命されたのが最初である。
English: However, the Shingon sect and To-ji Temple now consider Kukai as the first To-ji betto (head priest of To-ji Temple).
Japanese: ただし、今日において真言宗及び東寺では、空海をもって初代東寺別当としている。
English: This derives from the fact that Emperor Saga bestowed To-ji Temple (then under construction) on Kukai on March 9, 823, and appointed him as the chief of the construction department of To-ji Temple.
Japanese: これは弘仁14年1月19日(旧暦)に嵯峨天皇が空海に建設中の東寺を与えてその建設責任者である「造東寺所別当」に任命したことに由来する。
English: Considering that the role of To-ji Choja is to be in charge of the maintenance, management and improvement of To-ji Temple, which Kukai left, it is not at all wrong to consider the chief of the construction department of To-ji Temple as the forerunner of To-ji Choja and to consider Kukai, who helped construct the To-ji Temple, as the first To-ji betto.
Japanese: もっとも、東寺長者の役割を空海が遺した東寺を維持・管理・整備する責任者であると考えるならば、造東寺所別当を東寺長者の前身とみなして最初に東寺を整備した空海を初代と考えることも決して誤りではないと言える。
English: Subsequently, Choja were selected from the priests of the Shingon sect, and a custom was later established for the emperor to appoint Choja from monzeki (a priest of a temple in which resided a member of nobility or the Imperial Family) of noble birth of four temples (the Ninna-ji Temple, Daikaku-ji Temple, Kaju-ji Temple and Daigo-ji Temple (Sanbo-in)).
Japanese: 以後、長者は真言宗の僧侶から選ばれ、後には仁和寺・大覚寺・勧修寺・醍醐寺（三宝院）の4寺の中から門跡の貴種が勅任される慣習が成立した。
English: Since 919, when Kangen also acted as the head priest (betto) of Kongobu-ji Temple, which due to rivalry hadn't long recognized To-ji choja and his authority, the authority of To-ji Choja was considerably strengthened.
Japanese: また、延喜19年（919年）には観賢が東寺との対抗上、東寺長者とその権威を認めてこなかった同じ空海由来の金剛峯寺座主（別当）を兼ねたことでその権威は大いに高まった。
English: To-ji Choja then acted as the Great Ajari for Shichinichi no Mishiho (seven days' secret ceremony of severe prayer), and started to strengthen its role as a representative of the sect.
Japanese: その後、御七日御修法の大阿闍梨の役目を務めるなど、宗派の代表としての役割を強化していった。
English: One person was originally appointed as To-ji Choja, but the number of To-ji Choja was increased to two in 843, three in 895 and four in 969.
Japanese: その定員は初めは1名であったが、承和10年（843年）に2名、寛平7年（895年）には3名、安和2年（969年）には4名に増員された。
English: The highest-ranked Choja was called Ichi no Choja (the highest-ranked chief abbot of the temple) or Ichi no Ajari (a highest-ranked master in Esoteric Buddhism; or the highest-ranked priest), and called himself the jimu (chief priest of Toji-dera kanzu)
Japanese: そのうち最上位の長者は一長者あるいは一阿闍梨とも呼ばれて東寺の貫主（住職）として「寺務」を名乗るようになる。
English: However, in 872 a custom was established for him to double as the homu, who was in charge of Sogo, or the Office of Monastic Affairs.
Japanese: 貞観_(日本)14年（872年）には僧綱の責任者である「法務」も兼ねる慣習が成立した。
English: The appointment system was abolished during the Meiji Restoration, and later its status was lowered due to the separation of the schools of the Shingon sect.
Japanese: なお、勅任制度は明治維新によって廃止され、その後の真言宗の各宗派の分離に伴って、その地位は低下した。
English: However, Choja is still revered by people as the supreme leader of the To-ji Shingon sect.
Japanese: ただし、現在でも東寺真言宗の最高指導者として人々からの崇敬を集めている。
English: To-ji Choja Bunin (records of To-ji Choja (the chief abbot of To-ji Temple)), which is also called To-ji Choja Shidai, is a set of documents describing the personnel affairs of past To-ji Choja.
Japanese: 東寺長者補任（とうじちょうじゃぶにん）とは、東寺長者次第（とうじちょうじゃしだい）とも呼ばれ、東寺の歴代の長者人事について記録した文書のこと。
English: It is said that there existed "Ningai Sojo Jihitsu Choja Shidai" (the records of the To-ji Choja (chief abbot of To-ji Temple), self-written by Ningai Sojo (the high-ranking Buddhist priest)) in the middle of the eleventh century.
Japanese: 古くは11世紀半ばに仁海によって書かれた『仁海僧正自筆長者次第』などがあったといわれている。
English: The oldest extant one, however, is two volumes of "To-ji Choja Bunin (records of the To-ji Choja (the chief abbot of To-ji Temple)," which Kanshin, the thirty-seventh Choja, completed in 1145 over a period of 20 years.
Japanese: 現存最古のものとしては37代長者寛信が20年の歳月をかけて久安元年（1145年）に完成した『東寺長者補任』2巻がある。
English: The records describe the dates of appointments, secular surnames, masters, disciples and chronological records of the respective Choja since Kukai.
Japanese: これには空海以来の歴代長者の任命日・俗姓・師資・年譜などが人別に記載されている。
English: There is also "To-ji choja Narabini Koya Kengyo To Shidai" (records of the To-ji Choja (the chief abbot of To-ji Temple), Koya Kengyo and Others), by an unknown author and compiled in or around 1243, describing the masters, disciples, titles, secular surnames, Jingen and kinichi (death anniversaries) of past Choja up to Gonkai, the fifty-fifth Choja.
Japanese: 続いて寛元元年（1243年）頃に55代厳海までの師資・称号・俗姓・仁限・忌日などを記した選者不明の『東寺長者并高野検校等次第』1巻が著された。
English: Subsequently, in about 1360, Goho compiled five volumes of "To-ji Choja Bunin" (records of the To-ji Choja (the chief abbot of To-ji Temple)).
Japanese: その後、延文/正平_(日本)年間（1360年）頃に杲宝によって『東寺長者補任』5巻を撰した。
English: This contains a detailed history of To-ji Temple as well as the masters, disciples, titles, secular surnames, Jingen and kinichi (death anniversaries) of past Choja, and was used for many years as the basic historical record of To-ji Temple.
Japanese: これには東寺の歴史、歴代長者の師資・称号・俗姓・仁限・忌日年譜などが詳細に記載されて長く東寺の基本史料とされた。
English: Additionally, information up to 1635 was added to the original version written by Goho.
Japanese: しかも杲宝の原本に増補が加えられて300年後の寛永11年（1635年）の分まで加えられた。
English: On the other hand, because the original version written by Goho had become too unwieldy, a more convenient abridged version of "To-ji Choja Bunin" Volume 1, covering up to 1367, was also compiled.
Japanese: その一方で杲宝の原本が余りにも膨大になってしまったために簡便な抄本版と言える貞治6年/正平22年（1367年）までの『東寺長者補任』1巻も作成された。
English: Choshin (1014 - November 12, 1072) was a Buddhist monk of the Shingon sect, in the mid-Heian period.
Japanese: 長信（ちょうしん、長和3年（1014年）-延久4年9月30日(旧暦)（1072年11月12日））は、平安時代中期の真言宗の僧侶。
English: He became a disciple of Enjin, who was a child of MINAMOTO no Sukenori in Kannon-in of Ninna-ji Temple, and became a priest there, whereupon he received kanjo (a ceremony to be the successor) by priest-Imperial Prince Shoshin in 1047.
Japanese: 仁和寺観音院の延尋（源扶義の子）の元に入門して出家、永承3年（1047年）に同院で性信入道親王から灌頂を受ける。
English: In 1054, he was appointed as the twenty-ninth choja of To-ji Temple, who was the chief abbot of the temple and the entire Shingon sect, and was promoted to hoin (the highest rank among Buddhist priests).
Japanese: 天喜2年（1054年）には東寺と真言宗全体の長である第29代東寺長者に任じられて法印に昇進する。
English: In 1066, he became gon no sojo (the highest-ranking priest next to a sojo) and performed a ritual for rain along with 20 priests on behalf of relief from that year's drought.
Japanese: 治暦2年（1066年）権僧正となり、この年の旱魃に際して僧侶20人を率いて雨乞いの修法を行った。
English: In 1070, he was appointed as Sojo, and in the following year he erected 'Ikenobo' in the territory of To-ji Temple and lived there.
Japanese: 延久2年（1070年）には僧正に任じられて、翌年には東寺内に「池坊」を建立してそこに居住する。
English: He had been in the close confidence of Emperor Gosanjo, who visited Chosin with all his officials that year and granted fuko (a vassal household allotted to courtiers, shrines and temples) 25 households.
Japanese: 後三条天皇の信任が厚く、この年には百官を連れて長信の元を訪れ、封戸25戸を下賜された。
English: Ichiji Kinrin Buccho (ekaakSara-uSNiiSacakra in Sanskrit) is one of the deities worshipped in Esoteric Buddhism.
Japanese: 一字金輪仏頂（いちじきんりんぶっちょう）、サンスクリットエーカークシャラ・ウシュニーシャチャクラ(ekaakSara-uSNiiSacakra)は仏頂尊の一尊。
English: It's a deity specifically associated with the sacred Sanskrit syllable, "bhruuM," which was uttered by Shakyamuni to verbalize his thought while he was absorbed in profound meditation.
Japanese: 深い瞑想の境地に至った如来が説いた一字の真言ボロン(bhruuM)を神格化したものである。
English: The word "kinrin" (meaning golden wheel in Japanese), which refers to the highest king among the four sacred kings that rule the universe, symbolizes the miraculous power of this deity.
Japanese: 金輪とは転輪聖王のうち最も優れた金輪王を意味し、仏頂尊の霊験が極めて優れたことを譬えたもの。
English: Accordingly, in the mandalas that represent Ichiji Kinrin Buccho, seven treasures (a golden wheel, a Buddhist rosary, a queen, a horse, an elephant, a god of wealth and a god of war) that are believed to be possessed by the four sacred kings are depicted together with the deity.
Japanese: そのため一字金輪曼荼羅では、転輪聖王が従えるという七つの宝（金輪、如意宝珠、女宝、馬宝、象宝、主蔵宝、主兵神宝）が、一字金輪仏頂と共に描かれる。
English: Ichiji Kinrin Buccho is represented in two different forms, depending on the Buddhist sutra: one as Shaka Kinrin (Shakyamuni Buddha with a golden wheel) and another as Dainichi Kinrin (great cosmic Buddha with a golden wheel).
Japanese: 所依の経典により、如来形の釈迦金輪（しゃかきんりん）と大日金輪（だいにちきんりん）の二つの姿が説かれる。
English: In many representations, Shaka Kinrin is seated on a sacred mountain surrounded by a ring of moonlight (a white halo surrounding the entire figure) or sunlight (a red halo), holding a golden wheel in its hands, which are held in the meditation mudra.
Japanese: 印相は定印にしてその両手の上に輪宝を乗せ、須弥山の上の月輪(全身を取り囲む白い光背)または日輪（赤い月輪）の中に座しているものが多い。
English: Meanwhile, the first volume of the "Collection of Buddhist Sutras" (No 901, collection of Buddhist sutras edited during the Taisho period) describes Shaka Kinrin as a golden figure wearing a crown decorated with seven treasures and emitting light from its body.
Japanese: 一方『陀羅尼集経第一』（大正新脩大蔵経No.901）には「体色は金色で七宝冠を戴き全身から光を放つ。
English: It is written in the same sutra that there is a golden wheel beneath its lotus throne and a pond of treasures beneath the golden wheel.
Japanese: 座っている蓮華の下に輪宝、さらにその下に宝池がある」と記されている。
English: Shaka Kinrin is believed to have the ability to subdue star gods such as Kuyo (nine-planet crest) using its golden wheel, and it's worshiped in Indian astrology as a deity that has the magical power to avoid misfortunes caused by ominous stars.
Japanese: 釈迦金輪はその輪宝で九曜等の天体神を折伏するとされ、宿曜道では凶星のもたらす災いを避ける修法の本尊として重視される。
English: Dainichi Kinrin, which is believed to be a deity derived from the great cosmic Buddha (Dainichi Nyorai in Japanese), is associated with the Sanskrit syllable "bhruuM," which Dainichi Nyorai of the transcendental world uttered while he was absorbed in profound meditation in the world of physical phenomenon.
Japanese: 大日金輪は、大日如来所変の仏頂尊とされ、金剛界大日如来が胎蔵界日輪三昧という瞑想の境地に入って唱えた「ボロン」の神格化とされる。
English: It bears a close resemblance to Dainichi Nyorai (great cosmic Buddha) of the transcendental world, but whereas Dainichi Nyorai is usually surrounded by a ring of moonlight, Dainichi Kinrin is surrounded by a ring of sunlight (a red halo).
Japanese: その姿は金剛界大日如来に酷似するが、大日如来が月輪の中に座すのに対し、大日金輪は日輪（赤い月輪）の中に座すのが特徴である。
English: In Tendai Buddhism, Dainichi Kinrin is worshipped as a deity of the same importance as Dainichi Nyorai of the transcendental world and that of the world of physical phenomenon, and as the protector deity of an esoteric ritual that binds these two worlds together.
Japanese: 大日金輪は、天台宗では蘇悉地法の本尊として金剛界・胎蔵界大日如来に並ぶ尊格とする。
English: While Dainichi Nyorai of the transcendental world mediating in the world of physical phenomenon is believed to be Dainichi Kinrin, Dainichi Nyorai of the world of physical phenomenon mediating in the transcendental world is believed to be Butsugen Butsumo.
Japanese: 金剛界大日如来が胎蔵界日輪三昧の境地にある姿が大日金輪、胎蔵界大日如来が金剛界月輪三昧にある姿が仏眼仏母であるとする。
English: Ichiji Kinrin Buccho and Butsugen Butsumo also represent two different aspects of Buddhist preaching in the sense that while the former enlightens people by logical argument, the latter leads them to the truth by cultivating virtues among them.
Japanese: また、一字金輪仏頂が折伏、仏眼仏母が摂受によって衆生を教化するという意味でも表裏一体である。
English: The Ichiji Kinrin Buccho mandala is used together with the Butsugen Butsumo mandala in the religious practice of Esoteric Buddhism due to the complementary relationship that exists between these two deities.
Japanese: 一字金輪仏頂の曼荼羅に仏眼仏母、仏眼仏母の曼荼羅に一字金輪仏頂を配して修法を行うのも、両者の補完関係を期待してのものである。
English: Evil deities that are subdued by the magical power of Ichiji Kinrin Buccho's golden wheel are believed to be reborn as benevolent deities by Butsugen Butsumo, who opens their eyes to the truth.
Japanese: つまり、一字金輪仏頂の霊験の輪宝によって倒された悪神は、真実の眼を開く仏眼仏母によって善神として蘇るのだという。
English: The miraculous power possessed by Ichiji Kinrin Buccho was believed to be so strong that it could nullify the effects of any ritual practiced within a distance of 500 yojana from its throne.
Japanese: なお、一字金輪仏頂を本尊とする修法はあまりに強力であり、その壇から五百由旬四方の場所で行われている他の修法は全て無効化されてしまうとされた。
English: For this reason, in Shingon Buddhism only the highest priest of Toji Temple was allowed to practice rituals related to Ichiji Kinrin Buccho.
Japanese: そのため、真言宗では東寺の長者のみが修することを許されていたという。
English: Genji Kuyo is to hold a commemorative service for the Tale of Genji and its author Murasaki Shikibu.
Japanese: 源氏供養（げんじくよう）は、源氏物語およびその作者である紫式部を供養すること。
English: According to an old tradition, at the time it was believed that writing fiction was to go against one of the five commandments, 'Fumogokai' (people must not tell lies).
Japanese: 架空の物語を作ることは仏教における五戒の一つである「不妄語戒」（嘘をついてはいけない。）
English: Based on the tradition, Genji Kuyo was started in order to hold a memorial service for Murasaki Shikibu because she had authored a fictional story, the Tale of Genji, which could confuse readers, and fell into Hell after her death.
Japanese: これに反する事になるとする当時の思想に由来する紫式部が源氏物語という人々を惑わす絵空事を描いたため死後地獄に落ちてしまったとする伝承をもとに紫式部を供養しようとした行動。
English: His thought that an indulgence in the Tale of Genji made him unhappy had already appeared in Sarashina Nikki (Sarashina Diary), written around 1060; his concrete actions are recognized in "Hobutsushu" (A Collection of Treasures) and the Genji Kuyo, which is thought to have been started between 1177 and 1180 and between 1185 and 1189, was actually held several times in medieval times.
Japanese: 源氏物語に耽溺したために自身が不幸になったとする思想は1060年ころ著された更級日記の中にすでに現れているが、具体的な行動としては『宝物集』などに現れており、治承（1177年から1180年）・文治（1185年から1189年）のころに始まったとされており、中世には実際に何度か行われている。
English: There are copy versions of the story with different titles, such as "Genji Kuyo" (book stock of Toenbunko, library of Tokai University), "Genji Kuyososhi" (book stock of Imperial Household Archives) and "Genji Monogatari Hyohaku" (book stock of the Imperial Household Archives).
Japanese: 写本により『源氏供養』（東海大学図書館桃園文庫蔵本）、『源氏供養草子』（宮内庁書陵部蔵本）、『源氏物語表白』（宮内庁書陵部蔵本）などの異なった表題を持つ。
English: The outline of the story is that according to Nyonin (a woman), a certain high-ranking priest was indulged so much in the Tale of Genji that he could not concentrate on Buddhist teachings, so Kuyo was performed at her request.
Japanese: 高僧が長年源氏物語に耽溺したため仏の教えに専心出来ないとする女人の依頼により供養するという内容。
English: Following the initial introduction of the eight-installment series of modern Noh drama collections, the play was issued as the ninth in the series, but since it was removed by Mishima himself as a 'discontinued play' it was neither republished in any book or magazine nor performed while he was alive.
Japanese: 当初全8作として発表された近代能楽集の9作目として発表されたが、後に「廃曲」として三島自身によって除かれたため、三島由紀夫の生前には単行本への収録も雑誌などへの再録もなく、上演されることもなかった。
English: After his death, however, it was performed at the Small Theatre of the National Theatre, Tokyo, under the direction of Kiju YOSHIDA from July 7 to July 15, 1981, and the actors and actresses were Shibuki MAHO, Ichitaro ARASHI, Masami HORIUCHI, Yuji USUI and Yoshio WATANABE.
Japanese: ただし、同人の死後には1981年（昭和56）7月7日から15日に東京・国立劇場小劇場において演出吉田喜重、出演真帆志ぶき、嵐市太郎、堀内正美、臼井裕二、渡辺喜夫ほかにより上演された。
English: Also, the work play is contained in 'Complete Works of Yukio MISHIMA (23)' (November 1974, by Shinchosha Publishing Co., Ltd.), 'Complete Play Works of Yukio MISHIMA, Volume 2' (September 1991, by Shinchosha Publishing Co., Ltd.), 'Corpus of Commentaries about the Tale of Genji 4' (May 1999, by Yumani Shobou) and 'Complete Works of Yukio MISHIMA (Definitive Edition) (23) Work Play 3' (October 10, 2002, by Shinchosha Publishing Co., Ltd).
Japanese: また、「三島由紀夫全集（23）」（新潮社、1974年11月）、「三島由紀夫戯曲全集下」（新潮社、1991年9月）、「批評集成源氏物語4」（ゆまに書房、1999年5月）、「決定版三島由紀夫全集（23）戯曲3」（新潮社、2002年10月10日）などに収録されている。
English: Due to the above-mentioned circumstances, there is no text other than the first published books of his work play, and no castigation in which the differences resulting from the comparison have been clarified between the book containing the same text and its hardcover book, has been made in a manner similar to the complete works published after the deaths of authors of other texts.
Japanese: なお、本作についてはこのような事情から初出誌以外のテキストが存在しないため、死後に出版された全集などでも他の作品に対しては行われているような初出誌と単行本収録版や文庫掲載版との差異を示すといった本文校訂は一切行われていない。
English: Osamu HASHIMOTO, who authored "Yohen Genji Monogatari" (literally, "discoloration of "Tale of Genji") wrote an essay featuring the Tale of Genji; it was published as a two-volume book by Chuokoron-shinsha Inc. in 1993 and 1994, and in 1996 it was included in Chuo Bunko as a two-volume book.
Japanese: 『窯変源氏物語』の著者である橋本治の源氏物語を題材にしたエッセイ1993年から1994年にかけて上下2巻で中央公論新社から刊行され、のち1996年に上下2巻で中公文庫に収録された。
English: Unlike a series of books covering the events in a story such as "Aoi no Ue" or "Nonomiya," it's a Noh play featuring the background of how the Tale of Genji was created.
Japanese: 『葵上』、『野宮』など物語中の出来事に取材した一連の作品とは異なり、源氏物語成立の背景を描いた能である。
