English: After having pushed back the troops on the Toyotomi's side, the bakufu troops entered Osaka-jo Castle and even ronin who were in the Osaka-jo Castle began to loot the castle.
Japanese: 豊臣勢を押し返した幕府軍が大坂城内に入城、大坂城内の浪人たちまでが略奪をはじめる。
English: Then, the castle tower of Osaka-jo Castle burst into flames and, although Hideyori and his mother escaped to Yamazatomaru, they were sieged by the troops of Tokugawa.
Japanese: やがて大坂城天守閣が炎上し、秀頼母子は山里丸に逃れるも徳川軍に包囲された。
English: It is said that, before the castle tower burst into flames, Harunaga ONO begged for the life of Hideyori in exchange for the delivery of Senhime in vain and Hideyori committed suicide in Yamazato Kuruwa together with his mother, Yodo-dono, Harunaga ONO.
Japanese: 天守閣炎上の前に、大野治長は千姫をひきわたすことで秀頼の助命を嘆願したといわれているが果たせず、秀頼は母・淀殿や大野治長らとともに山里曲輪で自害した。
English: Later, his son, Kunimatsu TOYOTOMI was killed, but his daughter Nahime was spared, partly because of mediation by Senhime, on condition that she should become a Buddhist nun.
Japanese: その後、息子の豊臣国松は殺害されるが、娘の奈阿姫は千姫の働きかけもあり仏門に入ることを条件に助命された。
English: It is said that, when Guen Shonin died at the age of 80 in the beginning of the Genroku era, he said that he was the second son of Hideyori TOYOTOMI and he was three years old at the time of the fall of Osaka-jo Castle ("Jodo Honcho Kosoden").
Japanese: また、求猒上人が元禄初頭に80歳で没する時、豊臣秀頼の次男で落城時に3歳であったと語ったとされる（『浄土本朝高僧伝』）。
English: He is enshrined in Toyokuni-jinja Shrine in Chuo Ward, Osaka City together with Hideyoshi and Hidenaga TOYOTOMI, his uncle.
Japanese: また大阪市中央区(大阪市)の豐國神社(大阪市)には、秀吉及び叔父に当たる豊臣秀長と共に祀られている。
English: In 1980, remains that seemed to be Hideyori's were uncovered from the ruins of Sannomaru at Osaka-jo Castle and were laid to rest in Seiryo-ji Temple in Kyoto.
Japanese: 昭和55年（1980年）、大坂城三ノ丸跡地より秀頼とみられる遺骨が発掘され、京都の清凉寺に埋葬された。
English: April 20, 1598: Junii (Junior Second Rank); Chunagon (vice-councilor of state) (Transfer to gon chunagon [a provisional vice-councilor of state] without experience of sangi was after the example of promotion of sekkan-ke [line of regents and advisers to emperor], Fujiwara clan.)
Japanese: 慶長3年（1598年）4月20日-従二位中納言（参議を経ずして権中納言への転任は、摂関家藤原氏の官位昇進の例に倣う）
English: It is said that Hideyori was educated in court noble style and his chirography which had been handed down is highly appreciated.
Japanese: 秀頼は公家風の教育を受けていたと言われ、伝存する筆跡は高い評価を受けている。
English: At present, an image of a wimpy well-bred boy who was small in statute had gone around, but it has been passed on that, in fact, he was an extraordinary hulk who was 197cm high and weighed approximately 161kg (Image-wise, this is a body frame similar to the present sumo wrestler, Takanonami.)
Japanese: 現在、一部で小柄で文弱なお坊ちゃまの少年というイメージが出回っているが、実際は身長6尺5寸（約197cm）、体重43貫（約161kg）の並外れた巨漢であったと伝わる（イメージ的には、現代の大相撲力士・貴ノ浪とほぼ同格の体格である）。
English: It is said that he had dignity as busho (military commander) so that certain reports recorded that, when Ieyasu met Hideyori in Nijo-jo Castle, Ieyasu became frightened from Hideyori's charisma resulting from his large physique and made his mind to bring down the Toyotomi family.
Japanese: 家康が二条城で秀頼と会見した時に、秀頼の巨体からかもし出されるカリスマ性に恐怖し、豊臣家打倒を決意したと記録するものもある程、武将としての威厳はあったとされている。
English: In drama and on stage in recent years, this point was reproduced exactly, and, on stage "SANADA" and Taiga-drama (NHK's historical drama) "Aoi Tokugawa Sandaiki," and so on, large, tall actors played the adult Hideyori.
Japanese: この点は近年のドラマ、舞台などでは忠実に再現され、舞台『SANADA』、大河ドラマ『葵徳川三代』などにおいて成人後の秀頼は身長の面で大柄な役者が演じている。
English: In particular in the latter one, his figure wearing oyoroi (big armor) was painted to emphasize his large size.
Japanese: 特に後者においては大鎧を着用した姿も描かれ、大柄であったことが強調されている。
English: Toru WATANABE (actor) correctly represented the body weight, in "Kasuga no tsubone" (NHK's taiga drama).
Japanese: 体重の面を「忠実に」再現した役者となれば、『春日局(NHK大河ドラマ)』での渡辺徹(俳優)がその代表である。
English: Therefore, this is one of the causes for doubting that he was the real child of Hideyoshi who was actually smaller than approximately 152cm and famous as 'a small size military commander' even at that time when the average height was considerably shorter when compared to today.
Japanese: このため身長が5尺（約152cm）も無いと言われ、平均身長が現在よりかなり低かった戦国時代においても「小柄な武将」として有名だった秀吉の実子かどうかが疑われる一因になっている。
English: However, when we consider his grandfather, Nagamasa ASAI and grandmother Oichi no kata who were tall, it is no wonder that Hideyori was large in body size.
Japanese: ただし、祖父・浅井長政や祖母・お市の方が長身だったことを考えると、秀頼が大柄でもなんら不思議はない。
English: According to "Honaiki," a life history of Hideyori composed during the Edo period, 'Hideyori obeyed the will of Taiko (Hideyoshi) to allow Ieyasu, Seii Taishogun, control the reigns and he confined himself in Osaka-jo Castle.
Japanese: 江戸時代に作られた秀頼の伝記『豊内記』では「秀頼公は太閤の遺言に従い、天下の実権を征夷大将軍家康公に執らせて、大坂城に蟄居していた。
English: He attached value to rei (decorum) and executed gi (justice), and he admired the behavior of saints and sages, and removed evil thoughts and pitied self-interest and thought for the general public and wished day and night that the nation would became rich.
Japanese: 礼を重んじて義を行い、聖賢の風を慕い凶邪の念を去り、私欲を哀れんで民を哀れみ、国家が豊かになることのみ朝夕念じておられた。
English: Therefore, if he would have administered the affairs of state, peaceful eras of Engi and Tenchi would have appeared in Japan again.
Japanese: 故にこの君が政を執っておられたなら、日本に二度延喜・天智の治が現れただろう。
English: People must have waited for Hideyori's administration, like they wait for a cloud that brings rain during serious drought.'
Japanese: 人々は大干ばつに雨をもたらす雲を望むが如く、秀頼の政治を待ち望んでいただろう」と描かれている。
English: It was commented in "Histoire de la religion cherétienne au Japon depuis 1598 jusqu'à 1651" by Leon PAGÉS, who was a Japanologist, as 'The cause of Hideyori's failure was his stubborn superstition and there is no reason to feel pity for him.'
Japanese: また日本研究家レオン・パジェスの著書『日本切支丹宗門史』の中で「秀頼が失敗したのは彼の頑固な迷信のためで遺憾とするに当たらない」と評している。
English: As Hideyoshi was from a farmer's family, exceptional for a sengoku daimyo (Japanese territorial lord during the Sengoku period), he had no interest in pederasty, but on the other hand, he loved a large number of ladies.
Japanese: 秀吉は農家の出身でもあることから戦国大名としては稀な非少年愛家であり、一方多くの女性を愛したとされている。
English: In 'Historia de Iapam' by Luis FROIS, for example, it was recorded that he had 300 concubines and, even if it may be exaggerated, it seems that a rather large number of ladies were in Osaka-jo Castle.
Japanese: 例えばルイス・フロイスの「日本史」には「300名の側室を抱えていた」とあり、誇張が含まれているとしても相当数の女性が常時大坂城にいたようである。
English: However, as no child was born with any lady other than Yodo-dono (Many researchers doubt the existence of his children at the time of Nagahama-jo Castle in Omi Province, for example; his first child, Hidekatsu HASHIBA [Ishimatsumaru]), and only Yodo-dono bore two children, therefore, doubt about relationship of Hideyoshi and Hideyori have been raised.
Japanese: しかし、その一方で淀殿との間以外に子ができず（長子羽柴秀勝(石松丸)ら長浜城(近江国)時代の子の実在を疑う研究者も多い）、また、淀殿だけが2人の子供を生んでいることから、秀吉と秀頼の父子関係に対する疑問が唱えられたものと考えられる。
English: As grounds for denying Hideyori's father/child relationship with Hideyoshi, it was pointed out that during the time of the dispatching of troops to Korea, Hideyoshi stayed in Nagoya-jo Castle from May 1592 for more than 14 months except for the period in which he returned to Kyoto when his mother, Omandokoro, was very serious ill..
Japanese: 秀頼については父子関係を否定する根拠の一つとして秀吉は朝鮮出兵のとき、母大政所の危篤時に帰京したのを除き、文禄元年4月から1年2ヶ月余り、名護屋城に滞在していたことが挙げられる。
English: As for the question who was the real father of Hideyori, well-known opinions have named Harunaga ONO and Mitsunari ISHIDA (also Katsumoto KATAGIRI), and a ridiculous view named Ieyasu TOKUGAWA and Sanzaburo NAGOYA.
Japanese: では秀頼の実父は誰かという問いに対しては大野治長説と石田三成説が有名で（片桐且元とも）、珍説の類では徳川家康説、名古屋山三郎説がある。
English: The main reasons were that Harunaga was a foster brother to Yodo-dono and Mitsunari was from Omi Province, where the first home of Yodo-dono, the Asai family governed and Yodo-dono highly valued his brilliant mind.
Japanese: 治長は淀殿と乳兄弟であったことや三成は淀殿の生家浅井氏の治めた近江出身でその才気を淀殿に買われていたといわれることなどがその主な理由である。
English: In particular, with respect to Harunaga, since there is a record that he had illicit intercourse with Yodo-dono, there are many researchers who consider Harunaga the real father.
Japanese: 特に治長は淀殿と密通していたとの記録もあることから、治長こそ実父であると考える学者は多い。
English: There are no grounds that justify such opinions, however, and it is also said that they were to unduly injure the status of busho who had close connections to the Toyotomi family.
Japanese: ただし、こうした説の正当性を示す根拠は存在せず、江戸時代以降に豊臣家と縁故の武将の地位を不当に貶めるために、殊更論われたとも言われている。
English: With respect to Mitsunari (or Katsumoto), when Yodo-dono got pregnant with Hideyori, he was in Korea because of the Bunroku-Keicho War, the father/child relationship can be reasonably negated.
Japanese: また、三成（且元とも）については淀殿が秀頼を妊娠した時期には文禄・慶長の役で朝鮮へ出兵していたため、秀頼との父子関係を合理的に否定することが出来る。
English: With respect to the opinion that he has no resemblance in appearance to Hideyoshi, it is not worth looking into because, in addition to the above-mentioned blood line from his grandparents, the story that Nobunaga called Hideyoshi 'saru' (monkey) was fiction composed in a later age (Refer to the section for evaluation of Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI.)
Japanese: なお、秀吉との間に外見の類似性がないという見方については、前述の祖父母の血統に加えて信長が秀吉を「猿」と呼んでいたことは後世の創作とも言われており、この点は検証に値しない（※豊臣秀吉評価の項を参照）。
English: In the past, there was a view that Kodaiin is responsible for Hideyoshi's not having a child (or having few children).
Japanese: また、かつて秀吉に子がいない（少ない）ことは高台院に原因があるという考え方があった。
English: It was an incorrect judgment based upon the idea of predominance of men over women and, as he did not have many children with a number of ladies other than Kodaiin (if we count a child during the age of Nagahama-jo Castle as really existing, there must have been two boys and a girl who died very young before Hideyori.), we should consider that Hideyoshi's physical conditions were the causes why he did not have many children.
Japanese: これは男尊女卑に基づく陋習であり、高台院以外の多くの女性との間にも子ができにくかった（長浜城時代の子を事実として含めれば、夭折した男児二人、女児一人が秀頼の前にいたことになる）ことから、やはり秀吉自身が子ができない（できにくい）体質であったと考えるべきだろう。
English: There is a view that Ieyasu endeavored to decrease the power of the Toyotomi family immediately after Hideyoshi's death (more precisely, after the death of Toshiie MAEDA) and the general public accepted this and many daimyo who enjoyed the kind favors of the Toyotomi family joined the Ieyasu's side is evidence that such double dealing had gone around already at that time.
Japanese: 家康が秀吉死後（厳密には前田利家死後）すぐに豊臣家の勢力を削ぐことに傾注し、また、世情がそれに従い関ヶ原の戦いにおいて豊臣恩顧の多くの大名たちが家康側についたことも、当時既にそうした疑念が広まっていた傍証であるという考え方もある。
English: As nobody witnessed the instant when Hideyori died, and bodies had not been found, it is described in "Nihon Seikyoshi" (by Jean CRASSET) that he either died at the time of the fall of the castle or escaped accompanied by his mother and wife to the territory of a daimyo in a remote region.
Japanese: 秀頼たちが絶命する瞬間を目撃した者がおらず、死体も発見されなかったことから、『日本西教史』（ジャン・クラッセ著）には落城時に死亡とも母妻をともなって辺境の大名領地に落ち延びたとある。
English: In the diary of Richard COCKS of Hirado, it is described that he was burned to death in the castle or escaped to Satsuma Province or the Kingdom of Ryukyu.
Japanese: また、平戸のリチャード・コックス日記には城内にて焼死とも薩摩国・琉球王国に逃げたとある。
English: From a children's song that says 'Sanada like an ogre accompanied by Hideyori like a flower fled as far as Kagoshima' was popular in Kamigata after the fall of the Osaka-jo Castle, we can surmise that there were a rumor about Hideyori's escape and survival and that Hideyori did not die and was secretly relieved by a busho who enjoyed Hideyoshi's favor.
Japanese: また、大坂城落城後に上方で「花のようなる秀頼様を、鬼のようなる真田が連れて、退きも退いたよ鹿児島へ」という童歌がはやったことなどから、秀頼は死亡しておらず秀吉恩顧の武将により密かに救出され落ち延びたとする脱出・生存の風説が流れたことがうかがえる。
English: In Kumamoto-jo Castle, there is a room named 'Shokun no ma' and there is a tradition that this room was Hideyori's living room.
Japanese: 熊本城には「昭君の間」という部屋があり、ここが秀頼の居室であったとの伝承が残されている。
English: It has been handed down that there were 200 refugees in Taniyama, Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture and that Hideyori was in the group and "Saemonnosukegimi Denkiko" recorded that Hideyori's grave was in this place.
Japanese: 鹿児島県鹿児島市谷山に200人の落人があったがそれが秀頼と噂されたとあり、『左衞門佐君傳記稿』にはこのちに秀頼公の墳あると記す。
English: There is a stone pagoda with an epigraph 'The Place related to Hideyori' in Kinoshita, Kamifukumoto-cho, Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture.
Japanese: 鹿児島県鹿児島市上福元町木之下に「伝秀頼公由緒地」の碑のある石塔の墓がある。
English: Toyotomi clan' family name is an original surname similar to 'Minamoto clan,' 'Taira clan,' and 'Fujiwara clan,' and original surnames are not equal to the mere family names such as 'Tokugawa clan,' 'Oda clan,' and 'Hashiba clan' (for more information, refer to sections for original surname and family name respectively.)
Japanese: 「豊臣氏」姓とは「源氏」「平氏」「藤原氏」などと並ぶ本姓であるが、この本姓というものは「徳川氏」や「織田氏」、そして「羽柴氏」といった単なる名字とイコールではない（具体的には本姓、名字のそれぞれの項目を参照されたい）。
English: The name 'Hideyori TOYOTOMI' in which the original surname is used is equivalent to 'MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune' and 'TAIRA no Masakado.'
Japanese: その本姓を用いた「豊臣秀頼」という名は、言うなれば「源義経＝みなもとのよしつね」や「平将門＝たいらのまさかど」と同じである。
English: Therefore, we can say that it is correct to call him 'TOYOTOMI no Hideyori' by inserting 'no' which designate affiliation between his original surname 'TOYOTOMI' and his name 'Hideyori,' but at least in the modern age, it is popular to call him 'TOYOTOMI Hideyori' without 'no.'
Japanese: したがって、本姓の読みである「とよとみ」と名の読みである「ひでより」の間に所属を意味する「の」を入れて「豊臣秀頼＝とよとみのひでより」とするのが正しいと言えるが、少なくとも現代では「とよとみひでより」と「の」は無しで呼ぶのが一般的となっている。
English: Yodo-dono (c. 1569 – c. June 4, 1615) was a woman who lived from the Sengoku period (the end of Muromachi period) to the early Edo period, and a concubine of Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI (Hideyoshi HASHIBA).
Japanese: 淀殿（よどどの、永禄12年（1569年）？-慶長20年5月8日(旧暦)（1615年6月4日）？）は、戦国時代(日本)（室町時代末期）から江戸時代初頭の女性で、豊臣秀吉（羽柴秀吉）の側室。
English: Her younger maternal sisters were Joko-in (a lawful wife of Takatsugu KYOGOKU) and Sugen-in (a lawful wife of Hidetada TOKUGAWA), and her younger paternal brother and sister were Kusu AZAI who became a menoto (nursing mother) of Tatsuko KYOGOKU, and Iyori AZAI.
Japanese: 同母妹に常高院（常高院、京極高次正室）と崇源院（崇源院、徳川秀忠正室）が、異母弟妹には京極竜子の乳母となった浅井くすと浅井井頼がいる。
English: Her sons were Sutemaru (Tsurumatsu TOYOTOMI, who prematurely died) and Hiroimaru (Hideyori TOYOTOMI), and her adopted daughter was Sadako TOYOTOMI.
Japanese: また子には棄（豊臣鶴松、夭折）と拾（豊臣秀頼）が、猶子には豊臣完子がいる。
English: It has become clear that Okurakyo-no-tsubone (mother of Harunaga ONO), Aeba-no-tsubone (the second daughter of her grandaunt, Kaitsu-dono), and Otsubone (a wife of Yoshiyuki SAWAKI and brother of Toshiie MAEDA) were menoto (nursing mothers).
Japanese: 乳母は大蔵卿局（大野治長の母）、饗庭局（大叔母にあたる海津殿の次女）、大局（前田利家の弟にあたる佐脇良之の室）の三人が明らかになっている
English: The former was used consistently throughout her life, and the latter was given by the Imperial Court when she was given the status Junior Rank, Lower Grade.
Japanese: 前者は生涯で一貫して名乗った名で、後者は朝廷より従五位下を賜った際に授かった名である。
English: However, "Kikuko" was another real name used only in the public scene, so it does not mean that her name was changed from "Chacha" to "Kikuko".
Japanese: ただし「菊子」は公の場面のみで使用されたもう一つの諱であって、「茶々」から「菊子」へ改名したというわけではない。
English: In her lifetime, she was called different names according to the changes of her living places, such as Yodo-no-kata, ("Yodo-no-ue-sama" (honorific title for emperors or shoguns), "Yodo-no-nyobo" (wife or court lady, etc.), Ninomaru-dono (second defensive), Nishi-no-maru-dono, and so on.
Japanese: また生存中には、居場所の変化に伴って淀の方（よどのかた、他に「淀之上様」「淀の女房」など）、二の丸殿（にのまるどの）、西の丸殿（にしのまるどの）などと通称された。
English: There is a theory that she tonsured after Hideyoshi died, then called herself Daiko-in.
Japanese: 秀吉の死後に落飾して大広院（だいこういん、大康院とも）と名乗っていたという説もある。
English: Neither the names Yodo-dono, which is currently generally used, or Yodo-gimi, which was used in the past, can be seen in any contemporary sources.
Japanese: 現在最も一般的に用いられる淀殿、過去に用いられた淀君の名は、同時代の史料には一切見られない。
English: The naming of "Yodo-gimi" was widely spread and generally established after the putting on of the play "Kiri hitoha" by Shoyo TSUBOUCHI in the Meiji period.
Japanese: 「淀君」という呼称が広く普及して一般に定着するのは、明治に坪内逍遥の戯曲『桐一葉』が上演された以降のことである。
English: Tetsuo OWADA insisted that the naming of "Yodo-gimi" made a connection to the naming of prostitutes "Yu-kun" and "Tsuji-gimi" with an image of a villainess or a licentiousness, and Takako TANAKA (an expert on Japanese literature) continued this insistence, but as mentioned later, it was not accepted.
Japanese: 「淀君」の呼称については、悪女、淫婦というイメージとともに売春婦の呼称「遊君」「辻君」などと結びつけて定着したと小和田哲男が主張し、田中貴子(国文学者)が追随したが、後述の通り成り立たない。
English: The novel "Yodo-dono Diary" written by Yasushi INOUE and published in 1960 was one of the examples in early times which was influenced by the standardization.
Japanese: 1960年に発表された井上靖の小説『淀どの日記』は、その流れを受けた早い時期の一例である。
English: Taiga dramas (NHK historical dramas), which have a great influence on the public, have never used the name "Yodo-gimi" in the drama, since "Dokuganryu Masamune" (NHK Taiga drama) was broadcasted in 1987.
Japanese: 一般への影響力が大きいNHK大河ドラマでは、1987年に放送された『独眼竜政宗(NHK大河ドラマ)』を最後に「淀君」という呼称は一切使われなくなった。
English: However, in "Tokugawa Bakufu Genealogy" which was edited at the end of the Edo period, Asahihime who was the second wife of Ieyasu TOKUGAWA was called "Asahi-no-kimi", and Sugen-in who was the second wife of Hidetada was called "Oeyo-no-kimi", thus the theory insisting that "kimi" was a derogatory term was not accepted.
Japanese: ただし、幕末に編纂された「徳川幕府家譜」で徳川家康の継室朝日姫が「朝日君」、秀忠の継室崇源院が「於江与君」とされているので、「君」が蔑称だとする説は成り立たない。
English: Chizuru FUKUDA concluded based on the result of the verification about her naming that it would be appropriate that her real name was "Chacha AZAI" and her common name was "Yodo".
Japanese: 福田千鶴は彼女の呼称についての検証をした結果、本名を「浅井茶々」、通称を「淀」と号したとするのが適切ではないかとしている。
English: Additionally, there are no historical materials mentioning "Yodo-dono" in her life time but "Yodo-sama", therefore "Yodo-sama" might be the correct name in that period.
Japanese: また、生存中に「淀殿」と記した史料はなく、「様」付けで呼ばれていることから、同時代的な呼び方としては「淀様」とするのが正しいとしている。
English: In 1573, her father Nagamasa resisted her uncle Nobunaga and was attacked, and Odani-jo Castle fell to the enemy, so she left the castle with her mother.
Japanese: 天正元年（1573年）に父・長政が伯父・信長に敵対して攻められ、小谷城が落城すると母とともに城を落ちた。
English: At that time her father as well as her grandfather (Hisamasa AZAI) committed suicide, and her elder brother Manpukumaru AZAI was captured and executed by Hideyoshi in accordance with Nobunaga's order.
Japanese: このとき父と祖父・浅井久政は自害、兄の浅井万福丸は捕らえられ、信長の命で秀吉によって処刑されている。
English: It is said that she was kept by her uncle Nobukane ODA and protected at Anotsu-jo Castle or Kiyosu-jo Castle.
Japanese: その後は伯父の織田信包のもとにおかれ、安濃津城または清洲城で保護されていたという。
English: In 1582 when Nobunaga was killed by his vassal Mitsuhide AKECHI in the Honno-ji Temple Incident, her mother Ichi remarried Katsuie SHIBATA, a vassal of the Oda clan, so Chacha moved to Fukui-jo Castle in Echizen Province (present-day Fukui City).
Japanese: 信長が本能寺の変で家臣の明智光秀に殺された天正10年（1582年）、母市が織田氏家臣の柴田勝家と再婚すると、茶々は母とともに越前国福井城（現在の福井市）に移る。
English: After Nobunaga died, Hideyoshi and her foster father Katsuie confronted each other, and Katsuie lost at the Shizugatake War in 1583, then Ichi committed suicide with Katsuie.
Japanese: 信長の死後に秀吉と養父・勝家が対立し、天正11年（1583年）の賤ヶ岳の戦いに勝家が敗れると、市は勝家とともに自害した。
English: It is generally considered that she lived in Azuchi-jo Castle under the patronage of her uncle Nagamasu ODA, and that she later lived in the Jurakudai residence in the custody of Tatsuko KYOGOKU with the support of her aunt Maria KYOGOKU.
Japanese: その後一般的に叔父の織田長益の庇護の下、安土城に住み、後に聚楽第で伯母の京極マリアの縁を頼って京極竜子後見のもとにいたといわれている。
English: He intended to have Chacha as his concubine because she inherited the looks of her mother most among the three daughters.
Japanese: 三姉妹の中では母の面影を一番よく受け継いでいた長女お茶々を、側室に迎えようとしていたという。
English: Hideyoshi was happy about her pregnancy and gave her Yodoko-jo Castle in Yamashiro Province, so she was called "Yodo-no-kata" thereafter.
Japanese: この懐妊を喜んだ秀吉から山城国淀古城を賜り、以後「淀の方」と呼ばれるようになった。
English: Tsurumatsu died in 1591, but after her giving birth to Hiroimaru (Hideyori) in 1593, she gave the important posts, guardians of Hideyori, to Okurakyo-no-tsubone and Aeba-no-tsubone after Hideyoshi's death, and she held the real power of the domestic economy of the Toyotomi clan.
Japanese: 鶴松は天正19年（1591年）に死亡するが、文禄2年（1593年）に拾（秀頼）を生み、秀吉の死後は秀頼の後見人として大蔵卿局・饗庭局らを重用して豊臣氏の家政の実権を握った。
English: When she gave birth to Tsurumatsu, she contributed a portrait of her parents to Jimyo-in Temple at Koya-san Mountain, and when Hideyori was born she erected Yogen-in Temple (Yogen-in was Ingo [a title given to a Buddhist] for Nagamasa AZAI, and Kaiki (founder) was Seihaku, a monk from the Toyotomi family) to mourn for the bodies of her parents and other relatives.
Japanese: なお、鶴松を産んだときに高野山・持明院へ父母の肖像画をおさめ、秀頼を産んだときに父母ら血縁の菩提を弔うために、養源院（養源院とは浅井長政の院号であり、開基は一族の成伯）を建立した。
English: At the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 in which Gobugyo (five magistrates) member Mitsunari ISHIDA raised his army against Gotairo (Council of Five Elders) member Ieyasu TOKUGAWA, the direct control territory of the Toyotomi family was drastically reduced, though she was not related to the battle publicly.
Japanese: 慶長5年（1600年）に五奉行の石田三成が五大老となった徳川家康に対して挙兵した関ヶ原の戦いに際しては表だって関与はしていないが、豊臣家の直轄領は大幅に削減される。
English: After the Battle of Sekigahara, she confronted Ieyasu who started to construct a military government in Edo, and refused his requirement for Hideyori to show his vassalage and go to the capital, Kyoto City.
Japanese: 関ヶ原の戦いの後に江戸に武家政権を構築しはじめた家康と対立し、臣従を求める秀頼の上洛要求などを拒否する。
English: Toyotomi was completely defeated by the Tokugawa force at the Siege of Osaka in 1614 and in 1615, and in the same year, she was considered to have committed suicide with Hideyori and Harunaga ONO when Osaka-jo Castle fell.
Japanese: 慶長19年（1614年）と慶長20年（1615年）の大坂の役で徳川勢に完敗し、大坂城落城に際して秀頼や大野治長らと共に自害したとされる。
English: However, nobody witnessed the last moments of Chacha or could confirm her corpse, thus another theory exists that she as well as Hideyori escaped and survived.
Japanese: しかし茶々の最期を目撃した者がおらず、また遺体も確認されなかったため、秀頼と同様に彼女にも逃亡・生存説がある。
English: Satsuma Province and Kozuke Province are known as the destinations of their escape, but whether they escaped or not has not been confirmed.
Japanese: 落ち延びた先として薩摩国や上野国が挙げられているが、真偽については未だにはっきりしていない。
English: There are records showing that Yodo-dono and Harunaga ONO were foster brothers, and that their adultery was rumored.
Japanese: 淀殿と大野治長とは乳兄弟であり、二人の密通が噂されていたという記録も残る。
English: And thus, a theory has since been rumored that Hideyori was not Hideyoshi's own son but a son between Harunaga and Yodo-dono.
Japanese: そのため、秀頼は秀吉の実子ではなく治長と淀殿の子であるとする説が当時からささやかれていた。
English: It is known that Yodo-dono invited her cousin Nobuo ODA, who was wandering around Kyoto City, to Osaka-jo Castle to allow him to live there, and when her younger sister Go remarried Hidetada TOKUGAWA, Yodo-dono adopted Sadako TOYOTOMI, a daughter between Go and her former husband Hidekatsu TOYOTOMI, and brought her up as her own child.
Japanese: 淀殿は京都で放浪していた従兄の織田信雄を大坂城に招いて住まわせたり、妹の督が徳川秀忠に再嫁する際に前夫豊臣秀勝との間にできていた豊臣完子を引き取って我が子同然に育てた事も知られる。
English: Her attitude at the Siege of Osaka that she did not let Hideyori go to the castle and she herself controlled and urged the soldiers to fight more vigorously frequently became a target of criticism, but it was not rare for women to go to the battle field during that era (however, it might have been a problem that the supreme commander never stood at the front of the battle).
Japanese: 大坂の陣の際、秀頼を城に出さずに自らが兵士の所に赴き督戦したことがよく批判の対象となるが、この時代に女性が戦場に登場するのは珍しいことではなかった（とはいえただの一度も総大将が前線に出なかった事は確かに問題である）。
English: During the Siege of Osaka both in winter and summer, only Oda family, Katsumoto KATAGIRI and several others ran away as a result of opinion conflict, so Chacha considered to have had control of Osaka-jo Castle.
Japanese: 冬・夏両陣の最中でも意見が対立して出奔したのは織田一族や片桐且元など数名にとどまっており、茶々は最後まで大坂城を掌握していたものとみられる。
English: After Yodo-dono died, her waiting maids got together in front of her graveyard every year on the anniversary of her death and held secret memorial services.
Japanese: 淀殿の死後、命日には墓前に毎年侍女たちが集まり、ひっそりと法要を執り行ってきた。
