English: Kiyomori had rapidly implemented a series of measures, such as establishing the post of Kinai Sokanshiki (officer to keep peace in and around the capital), to which he then appointed Munemori, transferring Antoku on March 11 to Yorimori's residence newly built in Hachijo, claiming that the move was "for the sake of safety" (see the entry for April 10 in the fifth year of the Jisho era in the "Kikki" (a diary of Tunefusa YOSHIDA)); however, he died on March 27 in 1181.
Japanese: 清盛は畿内惣官職を設置して宗盛を任じ、2月17日には「警衛のため」（『吉記』治承5年4月10日条）という理由で安徳を八条に新造された頼盛邸に遷すなど、矢継ぎ早に対応策を講じていたが、閏2月4日に死去した。
English: The deaths of Takakura and Kiyomori in succession meant the sudden loss of the sovereign and the leader of the administration, and represented a serious blow to the Taira clan.
Japanese: 高倉と清盛の相次ぐ死は、国政における最高権威と実質的指導者が一挙に失われたことを意味し、平氏にとって致命的な打撃となった。
English: After the death of Kiyomori, Munemori made clear his position that it was necessary to follow Goshirakawa, declaring, "Now we should do everything based on Inzen (a decree from the retired Emperor)(ex-emperor Goshirakawa's commands) (see the entry for February 6 (leap day) in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 清盛の死後、宗盛は「今に於いては、万事偏に院宣の趣を以て存じ行うべく候」（『玉葉』閏2月6日条）と表明して、後白河に恭順する姿勢を示した。
English: When Seiken informed Munemori of the decision of the gijo, Munemori requested the issuance of innocho kudashibumi (a letter issued by innocho, the Retired Emperor's Office) to destroy the rebels so that he could dispatch TAIRA no Shigehira as tsuitoshi (envoy to search and kill).
Japanese: 静憲が宗盛に議定の決定を伝えると、宗盛は追討使として平重衡を下向させることを理由に、追討のための院庁下文を発給することを要求した。
English: Seiken protested, responding, "That is not our understanding", Munemori replied as "You should hold another meeting, inviting nobles such as Yorimori and Norimori to discuss this matter, and then report back to me" (see the entry for March 30 in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 静憲が「それでは話が違う」と抗議すると、宗盛は「頼盛・教盛等の卿を招き相議し、重ねて申さしむべし」と返答した（『玉葉』閏2月7日条）。
English: Soon after the new regime was launched, discord erupted between Goshirakawa and Munemori; however, because Munemori sought the counsel of Yorimori in regard to this matter, it can be presumed that Yorimori was playing an important role in the new government.
Japanese: 新体制が発足して、後白河と宗盛の間には早くも不協和音が生じていたが、この問題に関して頼盛は宗盛の諮問を受けており、政権にとって重要な立場にあったことが分かる。
English: On the other hand, there were also occasions when a very tense atmosphere existed between Yorimori and Munemori, as seen in the case where rakusho (anonymous letter) disclosing that "Yorimori and Sogo (monk of a managerial post) of Mount Hiei were in league and planned to attack Munemori", was delivered to Munemori (see the entry for April 1 in "Gyokuyo").

Japanese: 4月10日、安徳が八条の頼盛邸から閑院に行幸し、邸宅を提供した功で頼盛の子が加階されることになった。
English: Yorimori made Yasumori forge the promotion and pass it to Mitsumori, instead, maintaining that because Yasumori's court rank was already Shoshiinoge, if he were to be promoted, he would be seen to have surpassed TAIRA no Michimori (Norimori's son) and TAIRA no Tsunemasa (Tsunemori's son) (see the entry for the same day in the "Kikki").
Japanese: 頼盛は、保盛は正四位下であり昇進させると平通盛（教盛の子）・平経正（経盛の子）より突出してしまうとして、光盛に賞を譲らせた（『吉記』同日条）。
English: From this, it is apparent the that Yorimori made efforts to avoid generating friction among family members.
Japanese: 頼盛が一門の中で軋轢を避けるために、気を配っていたことをうかがわせる。
English: In October, a revolt occurred in Kumano and Yorimori, who was chigyo kokushu (provincial proprietor) of Kii Province, was chosen to serve as tsuitoshi to lead the expeditionary force charged with putting down the revolt (see the entry for September 28 in the "Gyokuyo"),
Japanese: 9月には熊野で反乱が起こり、紀伊の知行国主である頼盛が追討使に選ばれた（『玉葉』9月28日条）。
English: In the following month, however, a reorganization of the expeditionary force resulted in the following changes: TAIRA no Tomonori, TAIRA no Kiyofusa (Munemori's younger brother by a different mother), Shigehira, and TAIRA no Sukemori were placed in charge of Hokurikudo; Koremori, TAIRA no Kiyotsune (Shigemori's son) were placed in charge of Tokaido and Tosando; Yorimori's two sons of Kumano; and Munemori, Norimori, Tsunemori, Yorimori, and TAIRA no Tomomori were placed in charge of the most important task, that of Rakuchu shugo (safeguarding Kyoto) (see the entry for October 10 in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: しかし翌月、遠征軍の編成が行われた結果、北陸道は平知度・平清房（宗盛の異母弟）・重衡・平資盛、東海道・東山道は維盛・平清経（重盛の子）、熊野は頼盛の子息2名、最も重要な洛中守護は宗盛・教盛・経盛・頼盛・平知盛が担当した（『玉葉』10月10日条）。
English: Those persons who remained in Kyoto together with Munemori are considered to have been key persons in the political power structure at that time.
Japanese: この時、宗盛とともに洛中に留まった者が政権中枢にあったと考えられる。
English: In establishing Munemori as the head of Taira clan, the biggest obstacle that had to be overcome was Shigemori's Komatsu Family.
Japanese: 宗盛が平氏棟梁の地位を確立するにあたり、最大の障害は重盛の小松家だった。
English: In order to control the Komatsu family, it was necessary to closely cooperate with uncles who were chigyo kokushu and had a semi-independent status.
Japanese: 小松家を抑えるためには、知行国を有して半独立的な位置にある叔父たちと密接に連携する必要があった。
English: In March 1183, Kiyomune, Munemori's heir, and Yorimori's daughter were married, and it is presumed that this marriage was arranged as a measure to win Yorimori over to Munemori's side (see the entry for February 21 in the "Kikki").
Japanese: 寿永2年（1183年）2月、宗盛の嫡子・清宗と頼盛の娘の婚姻が成立しているが、これは宗盛が頼盛を自らの陣営に引き入れるための懐柔策であったと推測される（『吉記』2月21日条）。
English: In the same month, on the occasion of Munemori's resignation as Naidaijin (the Minister of the Interior), Tomomori, Shigehira, Yorimori, Tokitada and Chikamune were in attendance at Munemori's residence (see the entry for February 27 in "Kikki").
Japanese: 同月、宗盛が内大臣を辞任する際、宗盛のもとに知盛・重衡・頼盛・時忠・親宗が集まっている（『吉記』2月27日条）。
English: Among the uncles, only Yorimori was present, which is taken to be indicative of the importance that Munemori attached to Yorimori.
Japanese: 叔父の中で頼盛だけが出席しており、宗盛が頼盛を重視していたことを示唆している。
English: In May 1183, Hokuriku tsuitogun (punitive force to liquidate rebels in Hokurikudo) of the Taira clan was defeated by Yoshinaka KISO (the battle of the Kurikara Pass), and the military balance that had been maintained until that point completely collapsed.
Japanese: 寿永2年（1183年）5月、平氏の北陸追討軍は木曽義仲に撃破され（倶利伽羅峠の戦い）、これまで維持されてきた軍事バランスは完全に崩壊した。
English: On August 20, Munemori requested that Yorimori send troops to Yamashina in order to defend against Yoshinaka's force, which was approaching Kyoto.
Japanese: 7月24日、宗盛は都に迫った義仲軍を防ぐために、頼盛に山科方面への出兵を要請する。
English: Yorimori refused the request, declaring that he had "laid down his arms", but nonetheless, with persuading by Munemori, he was obliged to advance toward Yamashina.
Japanese: 頼盛は「弓箭ノミチハステ」ていることを理由に拒絶したが、宗盛に「セメフセラレ」てやむを得ず山科に向かった。
English: Munemori, who had been aware of this development, spent the hours "between 8am and noon" setting fire to Rokuhara, before withdrawing from Kyoto.
Japanese: これを知った宗盛は、辰巳午両三時バカリニ（午前8時から正午にかけて）六波羅に火を放って都を退去した。
English: However, Munemori did not inform Yorimori, who had been dispatched to Yamashina for defense, of Miyakoochi (the exile from the capital).
Japanese: ところが宗盛は、山科防衛に出動していた頼盛に都落ちを知らせていなかった。
English: When Yorimori heard about the loss of the capital, he sent his son, Tamemori, to Munemori to inquire about the situation; however, Munemori was to unsettled to provide a coherent response.
Japanese: 頼盛は都落ちを聞くと、子の為盛を宗盛のもとに差し向けて事情を問い詰めるが、宗盛は動揺するばかりで明確な返答はなかった。
English: It may be that Munemori was simply at a total loss for words due to Goshirakawa's flight from the capital, and that is why he neglected to notify Yorimori of the developing circumstances; however, for Yorimori it was as if he and his troops had been abandoned at the front lines.
Japanese: 宗盛にすれば後白河に逃げられたことで混乱の極みにあり、単に連絡を忘れただけだったのかもしれないが、頼盛にしてみれば前線に置き去りにされたようなものだった。
English: Goshirakawa instructed Yorimori to hide himself at the residence of Hachijoin, declaring, "It is a pity. I heard what happened from Hibi. Hide yourself at Hachijoin's place" (from the "Gukansho").

Japanese: 資盛は拝謁を許されず、26日早朝に都を離れた（『吉記』7月25日条）。
English: On August 24, Goshirakawa convened Kugyo gijo in order to devise measures for pursuing and destroying the Taira clan, securing the return of Antoku to Kyoto, and the recovery of the three sacred treasures.
Japanese: 28日、後白河は平氏追討・安徳の帰京・神器の回復の方策を立てるため、公卿議定を開いた。
English: Tsunefusa YOSHIDA stated,"There is no precedent for punishing a person who has surrendered, Yorimori did not abscond from the capital, and he only temporarily joined the action because he was compelled to due to his family ties." with all in attendance declaring their agreement, stating, "we are all of the same opinion."
Japanese: 吉田経房は「帰降者を成敗した例はなく、頼盛は都落ちには同調せず、一族であったため一時的に行動を共にしたに過ぎない」と発言し、出席者も「人々皆一同」と賛同した。
English: Under the circumstances in which Yoshinaka's army was in occupation of the capital, however, Yorimori could not be exempted from punishment, and on September 1, he was dismissed from his posts along with other members of Taira clan.
Japanese: しかし義仲軍が都を占拠している状況では頼盛も処分を免れることはできず、8月6日に他の平氏一門とともに解官された。
English: It is thought that after being removed from office, Yorimori was protected by Hachijoin, and held secret communications with Yoritomo, who was in Kamakura.
Japanese: 解官後の頼盛は八条院の庇護を受けながら、密かに鎌倉の頼朝と連絡を取っていたと思われる。
English: With respect to the task of suppressing the Taira clan, Goshirakawa viewed Yoritomo was the primary agent, and Yoshinaka as secondary; Goshirakawa did have a very high opinion of Yoshinaka (see the entry for July 30 in the "Gyokuyo"), and had placed his hopes on Yoritomo coming to Kyoto.
Japanese: 後白河は平氏追討の功績について、第一を頼朝、第二を義仲とするなど義仲を低く評価し（『玉葉』7月30日条）、頼朝の上洛に期待をかけていた。
English: On September 9, Yoshinaka insisted that Hokuriku no miya, whom Yoshinaka had supported, be installed as Emperor, bringing on the wrath of Goshirakawa (see the entry for the same day in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 8月14日、義仲は後継天皇に自らが擁立した北陸宮を据えることを主張して、後白河の怒りを買う（『玉葉』同日条）。
English: The contention between Goshirakawa and Yoshinaka was escalated to open confrontation when Goshirakawa issued senji (the imperial decree) to Yoritomo directly in October 1183, bypassing Yoshinaka.
Japanese: そして後白河が義仲の頭越しに寿永二年十月宣旨を頼朝に下したことで、両者の対立は決定的となった。
English: The capital became unsettled, and on November 13, a rumor of Yorimori's flight spread, causing a disturbance (see the entry for the same day in the "Gyokuyo" and the "Hyakuren sho" (History book from the Kamakura period)).
Japanese: 都は極めて不穏な情勢となり、10月20日、頼盛逐電の情報が流れて騒ぎとなった（『玉葉』『百錬抄』同日条）。
English: As November began, Yoshiyasu ICHIJO (Yoritomo's brother-in-law) and Yasuie JIMYOIN (Yorimori's son-in-law), who were in the pro-Kamakura faction, perceived that they were in danger, and fled to Kamakura.
Japanese: 閏10月になると、親鎌倉派である一条能保（頼朝の義弟）・持明院保家（頼盛の娘婿）も危険を察知して鎌倉に亡命した。
English: The entry for November 6 in the "Gyokuyo," contains information indicating that Yorimori had already arrived in Kamakura.
Japanese: 『玉葉』11月6日条には、頼盛がすでに鎌倉に到着したという情報が記されている。
English: Yorimori was attired in a traditional type of court garb, including hitatare (a kind of court dress in old days) made of Chinese brocade and tateeboshi (formal headwear with a peak for court nobles), was accompanied by his sons and two retainers, and was not wearing a sword.
Japanese: 頼盛は唐綾の直垂を着て立烏帽子を被り、息子たちと郎等2人を従え、刀剣を持たない姿だった。
English: Yoritomo was attired in Suikan (everyday garment worn by commoners in ancient Japan) made of shiraitokuzu (white gross cloth) and a tateeboshi, and was followed by an entourage of 50 retainers.
Japanese: 頼朝は白糸葛の水干を着て立烏帽子を被り、郎等50人が背後に群居していた。
English: Yoritomo used the provincial office of the Sagami Province, one day's journey from Yoritomo's residence, as his accommodations, and appointed the mokudai (deputy provincial governor) of the Sagami Province as his steward.
Japanese: 頼朝は、居館から一日の行程にある相模国の国府を頼盛の宿所に充て、相模の目代を世話役にしたという。
English: It was not only because of his former kindness, but also because Yoritomo felt reassured by the participation of Yorimori, who had close ties to Goshirakawa and Hachijoin.
Japanese: それは旧恩だけでなく後白河や八条院と太いパイプを持つ頼盛の参入に、心強さを感じていたことも理由の一つとして考えられる。
English: Yoritomo had been eager to have someone from Kyoto who would be capable of acting as an intermediary in negotiations with the Imperial Court, and of acting as an advisor in regard to the organizational structure of the shogunate.
Japanese: 頼朝は朝廷との交渉や幕府機構の整備のために、京都からの人材を求めていた。
English: Upon hearing from Yorimori that there was a serious shortage of food staples in Kyoto, Yoritomo suspended his planned visit to Kyoto, and sent his brother, MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune, and NAKAHARA no Chikayoshi to the capital as his representatives instead (see the entry forNovember 2 in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 頼朝は頼盛から京都の深刻な食糧不足を聞くと、自身の上洛を中止して弟の源義経と中原親能を代官として都へ送った（『玉葉』11月2日条）。
English: With the defeat of Yoshinaka in 1184, and the defeat of the Taira clan at the Battle of Ichinotani and their subsequent retreat to Yashima, Kyoto now fell under Yoritomo's sphere of influence.
Japanese: 寿永3年（1184年）になると義仲が滅ぼされ、一ノ谷の戦いで平氏も屋島に撤退したことにより、京都は頼朝の勢力下に入った。
English: In regard to Yorimori's subsequent actions, according to the account in the "Gyokuyo," "A communication from Yorimori was conveyed to Kanezane in the form of a letter passed along by Hachijoin (see the entry for March 7), and Kiyonari, Yorimori's guardian, reported the matter with respect to Kanezane to Goshirakawa (see the entry for April 1); Kiyonari then told MINAMOTO no Masayori that, "Yoritomo intends to recommend Kanezane for the post of Sessho" (see the entry for April 7).
Japanese: その後の頼盛の動向は『玉葉』によると、八条院より兼実に頼盛の申し状が伝えられ（3月7日条）、頼盛の後見侍清業が兼実のことを後白河に奏し（4月1日条）、清業が源雅頼に「頼朝は兼実を摂政に推挙する意向である」と語っている（4月7日条）。
English: Judging from those articles, it would appear that Yorimori was working toward having Kanezane appointed as Sessho using the good offices of Hachijoin and Goshirakawa, at the behest of Yoritomo.
Japanese: これらの記事から推察すると頼盛は、頼朝のために八条院や後白河に働きかけて兼実を摂政にするよう工作していたと考えられる。
English: In May, Yoritomo returned 33 private estates to Yorimori (see the entry for April 6 in the "Azuma Kagami"), which represented an implicit honryo-ando (acknowledgment for inherited estate) by Yoritomo; some historians view Yoritomo's return of Yorimori's holdings was a performative act whereby Yorimori was inducted into the Kamakura shogunate as a vassal.
Japanese: 4月、頼朝は頼盛に荘園33ヶ所を返還しているが（『吾妻鏡』4月6日条）、この荘園の返還は頼朝による本領安堵であり、頼盛はこれによって鎌倉との主従関係に組み込まれたとする見方もある。
English: It seems that Yorimori subsequently returned once to Kyoto, and on June 19, departed the capital for Kanto, not in flight, but in an official capacity (see the entry for the same day in the "Hyakuren sho").
Japanese: その後、頼盛は一旦帰京していたらしく、5月3日に改めて亡命としてではなく正式に関東に下向した（『百錬抄』同日条）。
English: On July 7, Yoritomo sent a letter to TAKASHINA no Yasutsune requesting the reappointment of Yorimori and his sons to their former posts, as well as the appointment of MINAMOTO no Noriyori, MINAMOTO no Hirotsuna, and Yoshinobu HIRAGA as provincial governors (see the entry for the same day in the "Azuma Kagami").
Japanese: 5月21日、頼朝は高階泰経に書状を送って、頼盛と子息の本官還任と源範頼・源広綱・平賀義信の国司任官を要請した（『吾妻鏡』同日条）。
English: For this party, Yorimori gathered together "persons accustomed to Kyoto," and bestowed upon Yorimori a golden sword, a sack of placer gold and ten horses with saddle as gifts.
Japanese: 宴には御家人の中から「京都に馴るるの輩」が集められ、引出物として、金作剣一太刀・砂金一袋・鞍馬十疋が贈られた。
English: Yoritomo had also prepared gifts for Munekiyo, and regretted that Munekiyo did not appear.
Japanese: 頼朝は宗清のためにも引出物を用意していたが、姿を見せないので残念がった。
English: After returning to Kyoto, Yorimori resumed his attendance at court (see the entries for August 18 and September 17 in the first year of the Genryaku era in the "Sankaiki").
Japanese: 京都に戻った頼盛は、再び朝廷に出仕する（『山槐記』元暦元年8月18日条、9月17日条）。
English: On January 26, 1185, Goshirakawa visited Yorimori's residence in Hachijo-muromachi, and watched the entourage of Motomichi, Sessho, embark on a pilgrimage to Kasuga-jinja Shrine (see the entry for the same day in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 12月16日には後白河が八条室町の頼盛邸に御幸して、摂政・基通の春日詣の行列を見物している（『玉葉』同日条）。
English: Although it would appear that Yorimori's position had become stable, it is presumed that he had become isolated in the Imperial Court in view of the fact that he abandoned the capital prior to the outbreak of the Battle of Hoju-ji Temple, and accepted hospitable treatment in Kamakura, provoking the antipathy of Goshirakawa in no kinshin.
Japanese: 頼盛の地位は安定したかに見えたが、法住寺合戦を前に京都から逃亡したことや鎌倉の厚遇を受けたことは、院近臣からの反発を招く結果となり、朝廷内で孤立化したと推測される。
English: On January 30, 1185 Yorimori resigned as Gon Dainagon, and petitioned the Emperor for the appointment of Mitumori to the post of Konoe no shosho (Minor Captain of the Palace Guards) (see the entry for the same day in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 12月20日、頼盛は権大納言を辞任、光盛を近衛少将に任じることを奏請した（『玉葉』同日条）。
English: In April 1185, Taira clan was defeated in the Battle of Dannoura, and fell into ruin.
Japanese: 翌元暦2年（1185年）3月、平氏一門は壇ノ浦の戦いに敗れて滅亡する。
English: It is not known how Yorimori felt about the fall of the clan; however, soon thereafter, he conveyed a long-held desire to become a Buddhist priest to Yoritomo, and after obtaining his approval, Yorimori took the tonsure and became a priest on July 5 at Todai-ji Temple, assuming the buddhist name Choren (see the entry for June 18 in the "Azuma Kagami").
Japanese: 一門の滅亡を頼盛がどのように思ったかは定かでないが、それから程なく頼朝に出家の素懐を申し送って了承を得ると、5月29日、東大寺で出家して法名を重蓮と号した（『吾妻鏡』6月18日条）。
English: The following month, Goshirakawa put the provinces of Harima and Bizen inbunkoku (Provinces under control by In-no-cho), and bestowed the right to manage the fiefs to Yorimori (see the entry for June 30 in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 翌月、後白河は播磨国・備前国を院分国として、知行権を頼盛に与えた（『玉葉』6月30日条）。
English: These measures were taken in accordance with a request made by Yoritomo, and Yorimori recommended that FUJIWARA no Saneaki be appointed to the post of Harima no kami (the governor of Harima Province) and Mitumori to the post of Bizen no kami (the governor of Bizen Province).
Japanese: この措置は頼朝の要請によると見られ、頼盛は藤原実明を播磨守、光盛を備前守に推挙した。
English: From that point on, Yorimori confined himself in this residence in Hachijo-muromachi, and hardly ever made appeared at center stage of public life.
Japanese: これ以降、頼盛は八条室町の自邸に籠居して表舞台にほとんど姿を見せなくなる。
English: In January 1186, on the occasion of Emperor Gotoba's Imperial visit for a Katatagae gyoko (to stay the night in a place situated at another point of the compass when one's destination from home lies in an ill-starred direction), as Hachijoin's residence had been seriously damaged by an earthquake and the repairs had not been completed, Yorimori's residence adjacent to it was chosen; however, Yorimori flatly declined to allow the use of his residence, stating that there were impurities there (see the entries for January 5, 6 and 7 in the "Gyokuyo").
Japanese: 文治2年（1186年）正月に後鳥羽天皇の方違行幸が行われた時、八条院の邸宅が地震により破損が著しく修復も済んでいなかったため、隣の頼盛邸に白羽の矢が立ったが頼盛は「家に穢れがある」と称して固辞した（『玉葉』正月5、6、7日条）。
English: Even Kanezane did not record Yorimori's death in his diary, so it may be that Yorimori died in solitude, a man who had been largely forgotten by those around him.
Japanese: 兼実も頼盛の死を日記に記すことはなく、その死は周囲から忘れ去られたひっそりとしたものだった。
English: From narrative accounts of "Heike Monogatari" (Tale of the Heike) and the "Genpei Seisui ki" (Rise and Fall of the Minamoto and the Taira clans), the impression given of Yorimori is clearly that of a man who once joined the withdrawal of his clan from the capital, but then gave up on his clan, withdrawing from the strife of public life and relying on Yoritomo's mercy.
Japanese: 『平家物語』語り本系や『源平盛衰記』では、頼盛は一門の都落ちに同行しながら、頼朝の情けにすがり一門を見捨てた脱落者としての印象が強い。
English: According to the account found in the 'Engyo-bon' which is deemed to be an early form of "Heike Monogatari," Yorimori "delayed joining the train of the entourage of the departing Emperor," and acted independently from the group of Munemori from the start.
Japanese: 『平家物語』の古態とされる「延慶本」では、「行幸ニハヲクレヌ」とあり、宗盛らとは最初から別行動をとっている。
English: In addition, another reason given for Yorimori's decision to remain in Kyoto, according to the account recorded in the 'Engyo-bon,' was because of conflict in the clan, such as a dispute with Munemori regarding the inheritance of a noted sword, "Nukemaru", that was in the possession of Yorimori.
Japanese: さらに残留の理由についても、「延慶本」では頼盛が所有していた名刀「抜丸」の相伝を巡る宗盛との確執など、一門内での対立が原因とされる。
English: According to an account in the "Kikki," "especially during the period following Yorimori's taking the tonsure and becoming a Buddhist priest, there were often unpleasant matters" (see the entry for July 28, 1183), and as far as can be seen from records at that time, no one criticized Yorimori for splitting with his clan, to the contrary, it is portrayed as a matter of course.
Japanese: 『吉記』では「就中件卿、故入道相国之時度々雖有不快事」（寿永2年7月28日条）と記され、当時の記録を見る限りでは頼盛が平氏一門を離脱したことを非難する声はなく、むしろ当然の行動と見られていたことがうかがえる。
English: In "Heike Monogatari," because the fall of the Taira clan is described dramatically, the portrayal of Yorimori, who had survived, emphasizes that he was a defector.
Japanese: 『平家物語』では平氏の滅亡が劇的に綴られたため、生き残った頼盛は離反者としての側面が強調された。
English: In the "Azuma Kagami," eight cases out of nine in which Yorimori is referred to mention his name in respect of his relationship with Yoritomo (the only reference to Yorimori alone, is in an entry for May 16 in the fourth year of the Jisho era recounting his taking the child of Mochihitoo), and it appears as if Yorimori was used as material to depict Yoritomo's benevolence.
Japanese: 『吾妻鏡』では頼盛の名が出る9例中、8例までが頼朝との関連で言及されているので（頼盛単独では、治承4年5月16日条の以仁王の子を連行した記事のみ）、頼朝の恩情を語るための素材になっている感がある。
English: It is therefore difficult to access what Yorimori really thought, and to grasp what type of Yorimori actual was.
Japanese: このため、頼盛自身の心情をうかがい知ることはできず、実際の頼盛の姿を把握することは困難となっている。
English: Yorimori had many guises, as member of Taira clan, as In no Kinshin, as member of the pro-Kamakura faction, and he was received warmly by each, to certain extent.
Japanese: 頼盛には平氏一門、院近臣、親鎌倉派という複数の顔があり、どの陣営からもそれなりの厚遇を受けていた。
English: However, the treatment he received always contained a component imparting a sense of being distanced, and Yorimori continuously remained somewhat alienated, not being able to find a firm footing in any faction.
Japanese: しかし、その待遇にはどこか距離があり、頼盛はどの陣営にも居場所を得ることのできない異分子であり続けた。
English: FUJIWARA no Mototsune (born in 836 and died on February 28 in 891) was a court noble in the early Heian period.
Japanese: 藤原基経（ふじわらのもとつね、承和(日本)3年（836年）－寛平3年1月13日(旧暦)（891年2月24日））は、平安時代前期の公卿。
