English: Both the Date family and the Uesugi family emphasize their accomplishments in the battle ('the Battle of Matsukawa' 'the Battle of Miyashiro Omote'), and there are various theories on the date of the battle such as October, 1600 and April, 1601, or a combined theory.
Japanese: この合戦（「松川合戦」「宮代表合戦」）に関しては、伊達家と上杉家は双方で戦果を強調しており、また時期を巡っても研究者の間でも、慶長5年10月説、慶長6年4月説、混合説がある。
English: For that reason, this article includes both: the outline and details of "the Battle of Matsukawa" on April 26, 1601 which was mentioned in "Nihon Gaishi (history book on Japan)" written by Sanyo RAI and circulated up to the end of the Edo period, and the outline of "the Battle of Miyashiro Omote" on 6th in 1605 which was recorded in "Date chika kiroku (historical record of the Sendai clan)" and in the documents on the Date family.
Japanese: このため、頼山陽の『日本外史』を含めて幕末期まで流布した慶長6年4月26日の「松川合戦」の内容と経緯と、『伊達治家記録』や伊達家文書が記録する慶長10年6日の「宮代表合戦」の内容を併記する。
English: The detailed outline of "the Battle of Matsukawa" is described as "the battle between Uesugi and Date" in the volume 42 of the "Kaisei Mikawago Fudoki," the revision of "Mikawago Fudoki (The Topographical Records of Mikawa Province)" by Motonao NARUSHIMA, an inner Confucian (teacher to a shogun) of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1833 of the late Edo period.
Japanese: “松川合戦”の概要は、徳川幕府の奥儒者である成島司直により、幕末期の天保4年(1833)に『三河後風土記』を改撰した『改正三河後風土記』の第42巻に、「上杉伊達合戦の事」として詳細が記述されている。
English: The "Kaisei Mikawago Fudoki" describes that 'both July 27 and 28 in 1600 (in the original edition) and July 21 (in Ietada Nikki [Diary of Ietada MATSUDAIRA]) are wrong, and therefore the date is corrected to 1601 in accordance with the Natsumeki and the Anminki. The note of Jirobe KITAGAWA, a vassal of the Uesugi family recorded in the Buinsowa is consistent with the Natsumeki. In the note of the Hanpu, Kitagawa explains it in detail and has the source.'
Japanese: 「慶長5年7月27日、28日(原書)、７月21日説(家忠日記)は共に誤りであり、夏目記・安民記に従い、慶長6年の事とす。武隠叢話に載せたる上杉の家士北川次郎兵衛の記も夏目記に同じ。藩譜の注文に北川ガ記詳らかにしてよりどころあり」と記述されている。
English: Although Masamune DATE invaded the Uesugi's territory on April 26, 1601, he was routed by the desperate resistance from the Uesugi forces.
Japanese: 慶長6年4月26日、伊達政宗は、上杉領に侵攻するも、上杉勢の必死の抵抗の前に敗走する。
English: Ieyasu TOKUGAWA gained more power after the death of Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI in 1598, the death of Toshiie MAEDA in March of the following year, and the downfall of Mitsunari ISHIDA.
Japanese: 慶長3年（1598年）に豊臣秀吉が死去すると、翌年3月の前田利家の死去、石田三成の失脚を経て、徳川家康の権力がますます増大した。
English: Kagekatsu had hardly governed the territory because he had been just transferred to the Aizu domain yielding 1,200,000-koku (a unit of volume of rice) from the Kasugayama-jo Castle in Echigo Province, early in the previous year under the order from Hideyoshi.
Japanese: 景勝は前年初めに秀吉の命により越後国春日山城から会津領120万石へ国替えになったばかりであり、領内統治をほとんど施していない状況であった。
English: Kagekatsu built infrastructure in the domain such as clearing and maintaining roads and constructing subsidiary castles straightaway.
Japanese: 景勝は早速、領内の道路の開削・整備や支城の普請等など領内の整備をおこなった。
English: Furthermore, he thought of building a new residential castle to move from the Wakamatsu-jo Castle and then started the construction of the new castle (Kozashi-jo Castle), 3 km northwest from the Wakamatsu-jo Castle.
Japanese: また、居城を新たに新築して若松城から遷すことを考え、若松城から北西3kmのあたりに築城を開始した（神指城）。
English: Hideharu HORI in the neighboring Echigo Province, however, kept informing Ieyasu TOKUGAWA of what happened in the Uesugi's territory.
Japanese: しかし、隣国越後の堀秀治は、このような上杉領内の動きを逐一徳川家康へ報告した。

Japanese: その内容は上杉氏が隣国の堀秀治や最上義光の領内を攻めることを目的に道路や支城の整備・居城の築城をおこなっているという旨のものであった。
English: Furthermore, Nobuyoshi FUJITA, a vassal of Kagekatsu ran off to the Edo-jo Castle and gave Hidetada TOKUGAWA inside information on Uesugi.
Japanese: また、景勝家臣・藤田信吉が江戸城へ出奔し、徳川秀忠に上杉方の内情を話した。
English: However, Kagekatsu refused to do so, and therefore Ieyasu saw Kagekatsu as a rebel and ordered territorial lords to subjugate the Uesugi clan.
Japanese: しかし、景勝はその申し出を拒絶し、そのため家康は景勝を謀反人とみなして諸大名に上杉氏征討を命じた。
English: On June 6, 1600, a war council was convened in the Nishi-demaru (defense strongpoint) of the Osaka-jo Castle and it was determined that Ieyasu and Ietada would take up their position at Shirakawa-guchi Gate, Yoshinobu SATAKE (Ukyo no daibu [Master of the Western Capital Offices]) at Sendo-guchi Gate, Masamune DATE at Shiraishi-guchi Gate, and Toshinaga MAEDA and Hideharu HORI at Echigo-guchi Gate.

Japanese: 家康は6月18日に伏見城を出発し、江戸城を経て7月下旬に下野国小山へ着陣。
English: On the other hand, Masamune DATE in charge of Shiraishi-guchi quickly left Kyoto to return to his domain by way of the Soma territory and entered the Kitame-jo Castle in Natori District to establish his base for attacking Uesugi.
Japanese: 一方、白石口を担当することになった伊達政宗は急ぎ京都を発ち、相馬領を経由して帰国し、7月12日に名取郡北目城へ入り、ここを上杉攻めの拠点とした。
English: However, Ieyasu, who knew that Mitsuhide AKECHI raised his army in Kamigata (Kyoto and Osaka area) to overthrow Ieyasu, left Shirakawa-guchi Gate to the second son Hideyasu YUKI and returned to the Edo-jo Castle.
Japanese: しかし、上方で石田三成が家康打倒の挙兵をしたことを知った家康は、白河口を次男・結城秀康へ任せ、自らは江戸城に引き返した。
English: Then, he ordered his vassal Kanetsugu NAOE to invade the Yamagata-jo Castle owned by Yoshiaki MOGAMI who canceled the alliance with the Uesugi clan and made it clear that he would take side with Ieyasu.
Japanese: そして、上杉氏との同盟を破棄して家康方に付くことを鮮明にした最上義光の山形城を家臣・直江兼続に攻め入らせた。
English: The Naoe army attacked the Yamagata-jo Castle fiercely, and finally besieged the Hasedo-jo Castle, the advance-guard station of the Yamagata-jo Castle (the Battle of Dewa in the Keicho Era or the Battle of Hasedo-jo).
Japanese: 直江軍は怒濤ごとく山形城を進撃し、ついには山形城の前衛基地・長谷堂城を取り囲むにいたった（慶長出羽合戦長谷堂城の戦い）。

English: After the Battle of Sekigahara, Masamune DATE reluctantly returned to the Iwatesan-jo Castle because he was ordered by Ieyasu TOKUGAWA not to move his troops without permission, but he invaded the Fukushima-jo Castle held by Shigenaga HONJO on October 6, 1600 without waiting for command from Ieyasu because it was hard for him to give up the invasion to the Uesugi's territory.
Japanese: 関ヶ原合戦後、伊達政宗は徳川家康からみだりに軍勢を動かすべからずとの命を受け、心ならずも岩手山城へ引き返したが、上杉領への侵略やみがたく、家康の下知をまたずに慶長5年10月6日、本庄繁長が立て籠もる福島城へ押し寄せた。
English: Masamune returned to Shiraishi because his ambushes were killed by Zenzaemon NAGAI, a member of the Fukushima-jo Castle garrison who sensed the invasion.
Japanese: これを察知した福島城兵の永井善左衛門が伏兵を討ち取ったため、政宗は白石まで引き返した。
English: Although Masamune tried to go to Yuhara (湯原), Nagai District on October 7 of the following day, Bingo no kami (Governor of Bingo Province) Kiyonaga AMAKASU (甘粕備後守清長) on the Uesugi side was there to patrol.
Japanese: 政宗は翌７日長井郡湯原へ出ようとしたが、上杉方の甘粕備後守清長が巡見に来ていた。

Japanese: ・「政宗度々敗軍し無念に思い、早く軍を止むべきよし、しばしば台命を蒙りながら、福島・梁川両城を責めとらずしては置くべからずと、(慶長六年)四月十六日又白石を出勢す。

English: In July of the previous year, Chikara NAKAZAWA (中澤主税) was sent as a messenger to order Masamune to refrain from a battle against Kagekatsu, but Masamune did not accept the order, wanting to explain to the Shogun after wining a battle at any cost to revenge.
Japanese: 去年七月江戸より中澤主税を御使にて、景勝と取合う事深く御制止ありけるに、其御意を用ひず、あまつさえ数度の後れを取りたるければ、何とぞして一戦に勝って御前の申し分仕りたしとぞ願はれける。

English: (* The episode of the sword fighting between Sanai OKA and Masamune in the river of Matsukawa is written in the 'Kaiseigo Mikawa Fudoki,' the 'Togoku Taiheiki,' and the 'Aizujin Monogatari' [a note on 杉原彦左衛門 Hikozaemon SUGIHARA story], which share the view that the battle broke out on April 26, 1601.
Japanese: （※松川での川中での岡左内と政宗の太刀打ちの逸話は、「改正後三河風土記」「東国太平記」「会津陣物語」(杉原彦左衛門、物語覚条々）の全てに記載され、いずれも慶長六年四月廿六日で一致している。）
English: Regarding the date and details of dispatch of troops to the battle against the Uesugi family (which is not called 'the Battle of Matsukawa' in the Date family), the Date family keeps the record that it broke out on October 6, 1600, not April 26, 1601.
Japanese: 一方、この上杉家との合戦（伊達家では「松川合戦」との呼称は用いない）の出兵の時期と戦いの経緯について、伊達家では、慶長6年（1601年）4月26日ではなく、慶長5年（1600年）10月6日だとする記録を残している。

English: On the other hand, the Uesugi army had only about 6,000 soldiers mainly led by Shigenaga HONJO in the Fukushima-jo Castle and Nagayoshi SUDA in the Yanagawa-jo Castle.

Japanese: 松川(福島県)付近では、岡左内、齋道二（註1）等と屋代景頼、茂庭綱元の部隊が激突したが、安田勘助、北川伝右衛門など、上杉方の名のある武者が軒並み討ち死にした。

Japanese: 備中二番ニ候へ共、為御意、脇道参候ニ付、宮代御合戦ニ逢不申、福島虎口へ懸著。
English: Among the dead, well-known soldiers include Kansuke YASUDA, Zusho Koori, Jirouemon FUSE, Senuemon KITAGAWA, Binosuke TAKEDA (武田彌之介), who were the heads of the troops (who seemed to and were approved to be hereditary vassals of Ujisato GAMO)."

Japanese: 明日モシ福嶋筋ヨリノオサエニ、可然人衆七手モ八手モ保原筋ヘ可遣候間、其衆可申合候。
English: Looking at the haori, Doji thought that he was Masamune because he had heard that Masamune wore a bear fur haori during the battle in Korea, and therefore he told the false story that he fought face to face with Masamune.
Japanese: 道二見テ、公(政宗)ノ朝鮮御陣ニ、熊ノ御羽織ヲ着玉フ由ヲ聞及ヒ、政宗ト太刀打シタルトテ、荒言(偽リ言)スト云ヘリ。

Japanese: 福島城城主本庄繁長は、野戦の不利を悟り、宮代で敗れた軍勢を撤収し、籠城策をとったが、一時は伊達軍の中に全軍で突入し、切り死にを遂げようと覚悟する状況に迄追い込まれた（御本陣ヘ突懸リ討死スベシト議定シ註3）。

Japanese: （この際に須田の部隊は伊達家の「竹に雀」の定紋の帷幕を奪い、永く上杉家の誇りとしたと云うがこれは軍記の創作。
English: When Masamune Date returned to the headquarters in Mt. Kunimi from Fukushima Omote, he called generals to the riverside of the Surikami River to praise Kageyori YASHIRO for his military service and give a Japanese sake cup.

English: Note 2: 'After all the enemies ran away to the Fukushima-jo Castle, Masamune set up the headquarters in the Kuronuma-jinja Shrine at the foot of Mr. Haguro to inspect severed heads; Zensai HAMAO (濱尾漸齋) stood next to him to show the heads' ("Date chika kiroku").
Japanese: ・註2：「敵兵悉ク福嶋ヘ逃入ノ後、公、羽黒山ノ麓、黒沼神社ノ邊ニ御本陣ヲ備エラレ、首級ヲ実検シ玉フ。濱尾漸齋御側ニ同候シ、披露ス」(『伊達治家記録』）
