English: Although not many reports about Prince were kept, "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan) said that he was killed because he was very close with Prince Anahobe when MONONOBE no Moriya tried to ascend to the throne.
Japanese: 皇子についての記述は少ないが、日本書紀には物部守屋に擁立されようとした穴穂部皇子と深く親しかったので殺されたとある。

Japanese: 大派皇子（おおはのみこ、欽明天皇21年（560年）前後?-没年不詳）は敏達天皇の第三皇子。
English: Since he was called 'Omata no miko' in other text, it is said that he was the same person as 'Omata no miko,' a grandchild of Emperor Bidatsu.
Japanese: 別の記述では「大俣王」とも書かれることから、敏達天皇の孫「大俣王」と同一人物と見る説もある。
English: In 636, he provided the following idea about government officials working system to a minister SOGA no Iruka, but Iruka ignored it.

English: "From now on, work should start before 6:00 am and finish after 10:00 am, and a bell should be rung at the start and end of work" (since the working hours of government officials were unclear, the sound of a bell let them know the start and finish time)

English: Since Takuta gave the shinobigoto before AWATA no Hosome, substitute for Prince Karu and OTOMO no Nagatoko, substitute for SOGA no Iruka, Prince Oha's status was high.

English: As Razan HAYASHI mentioned that Ieyasu TOKUGAWA was an Imperial descendant (it means Ieyasu was one of Seiwa-Genji or Minamoto clan), generation difference is not considered.
Japanese: 林羅山が「徳川家康が（清和源氏であると言う意味で）皇胤に当たる」と唱えたように、世代の遠近は問わない。
English: The thought of so-called an unbroken line of the Japanese Imperial Family simply means that the Imperial Throne has to be succeeded to the person who is an Imperial descendant.

English: The Emperor's Birthday is one of Japanese national holidays.
Japanese: 天皇誕生日（てんのうたんじょうび）は、日本の国民の祝日の1日である。
English: The name of tencho setsu is very old; it was named so because in Tang the birthday of the Emperor Xuan Zong (Tang) was celebrated as tencho setsu.
Japanese: 天長節の名は古く、唐は玄宗(唐)皇帝の誕生日を天長節と祝った事に由来する。
English: In 729, tencho setsu was renamed to 'senshusetsu,' but in 749, it was again renamed to 'tencho setsu.'
Japanese: 天平元年（729年、中国暦開元17年）に「千秋節」と改められたが、20年後の天宝(唐)7年には「天長節」に改められた。

Japanese: 臣下は天皇の好物の酒を献上し、宴を賜ったという（「是日天長大酺群臣献翫好酒食宴畢賜禄有差」）。

Japanese: （これにさきだち同年9月11日に「十月十三日是朕生日毎至此辰威慶兼集宜令諸寺僧尼毎年是日転経行道海内諸国竝宜断屠内外百官賜酺宴一日仍名此日為天長節庶使廻斯功徳虔奉先慈以此慶情普被天下」と勅が下された）。
English: The description of this event is found in the record of 779, which indicates that such events took place in the Heian period, too.
Japanese: このことは宝亀10年の記録にも見受けられ、平安時代においても行われていたようである。
English: It was not until November 6, 1868 that the tencho setsu was celebrated as a national holiday.
Japanese: 国家の祝日として表舞台に舞い戻るのは、明治元年9月22日_(旧暦)（1868年11月6日）に天長節として祝ったときである。
English: (On August 26 same year, an edict of Dajokan (Grand Council of state) was promulgated: '九月二十二日ハ聖上ノ御誕辰相当ニ付毎年此辰ヲ以テ群臣ニ酺宴ヲ賜ヒ天長節御執行相成天下ノ刑戮被差停候偏ニ衆庶ト御慶福ヲ共ニ被遊候思召ニ候間於庶民モ一同嘉節ヲ奉祝候様被仰出候事.')
Japanese: （同年8月26日には太政官布告で「九月二十二日ハ聖上ノ御誕辰相当ニ付毎年此辰ヲ以テ群臣ニ酺宴ヲ賜ヒ天長節御執行相成天下ノ刑戮被差停候偏ニ衆庶ト御慶福ヲ共ニ被遊候思召ニ候間於庶民モ一同嘉節ヲ奉祝候様被仰出候事」と布達された）。
English: Finally in 1872, tencho setsu ceremony was formally arranged and at the Ordinance of tencho setsu of that year, it was declared that '茲ニ朕カ誕辰ニ方リ群臣ヲ会同シ酺宴ヲ張リ舞楽ヲ奏セシム汝群臣朕カ偕ニ楽シムノ意ヲ体シ其ノ能ク歓ヲ尽セヨ.'
Japanese: 天長節の儀礼が整ったのは明治5年で、同年の天長節の勅語で「茲ニ朕カ誕辰ニ方リ群臣ヲ会同シ酺宴ヲ張リ舞楽ヲ奏セシム汝群臣朕カ偕ニ楽シムノ意ヲ体シ其ノ能ク歓ヲ尽セヨ」と宣した。
English: Then, the Daijo-daijin (Grand Minister) Sanetomi SANJO as the representative of the officers originally selected as candidates by the Prime Minister or higher rank people, and Juichii (Junior First Rank) Tadayasu NAKAYAMA as the representative of the peerage, replied to the Emperor.
Japanese: ついで奏任官以上の総代として太政大臣三条実美が、華族総代として従一位中山忠能がそれぞれ奉答した。
English: Before the war, it was actively celebrated as one of the four major festivals along with New Year, Kigensetsu (the National Foundation Day) (the day commemorating the ascension to the throne of the first emperor, Jimmu) and Meiji festival.
Japanese: 戦前は新年・紀元節・明治節ともに四大節の一つとして、盛大に奉祝されていた。
English: By comparison, an empress's birthday is called chikyu setsu (it is paired as above-mentioned tencho chikyu), but even before the war, none of the empress's birthday has been determined as a national holiday.
Japanese: なお、皇后の誕生日は地久節（前述天長地久から対比となっている）と呼ばれるが、戦前においても国家の祝日にはなっていない。
English: Also, at the opinion survey conducted by the government regarding 'preferable holidays' prior to legislate the Act on National Holidays, 'the birthday of his Imperial Majesty' ranked second following 'New Year.'
Japanese: また、国民の祝日に関する法律を立法するに先立って行われた、「希望する祝日」の政府の世論調査では、「新年」に次いで「天皇陛下のお生まれになった日」が第2位であった。
English: It is right that the Emperor's Birthday and tencho setsu are fundamentally the same things.
Japanese: 天皇誕生日と天長節は内容的にほぼ同じものであると考えて間違いはない。
English: However, in terms of tencho setsu, sometimes the celebration day (holiday) was moved from the actual birthday (for the case of Emperor Taisho. Similar example includes the Queens Official Birthday of England).
Japanese: しかし、天長節については実際の誕生日からこれを祝う日（祝日）を移動する場合もあった（大正天皇の場合。同様の例はイギリスの女王誕生日QueensOfficialBirthdayがある）。
English: At present, the Act on National Holidays prescribes that the Emperor's Birthday is a day 'to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor' and it is practically difficult to separate the Emperor's Birthday from the day to celebrate the Emperor's Birthday.
Japanese: 現在では祝日法において天皇誕生日は「天皇の誕生日を祝う」と定められており、実質上天皇誕生日と天皇誕生祝日の分離は困難であると思われる。
English: Under the Act on National Holidays, in present Japan, the Emperor's Birthday is determined according to the date of birth of the Emperor.
Japanese: なお、現在の日本では国民の祝日に関する法律によって、月日に基づき天皇誕生日が定められている。
English: Therefore, succession to the Imperial Throne does not automatically make the Emperor's Birthday as a holiday; if the birthdays of the previous Emperor and the present Emperor are different, it will be necessary to revise the Act on National Holidays at the Diet.
Japanese: そのため皇位継承によって自動的に祝日となるわけではなく、前代天皇の誕生日と今上天皇の誕生日が異なる場合、国会で祝日法を改正をする必要がある。
English: The birthday of the Emperor Meiji became a holiday called Meiji festival in 1927.
Japanese: 明治天皇の誕生日は昭和2年（1927年）に明治節という祝祭日となった。
English: After the war, the same day became a national holiday 'Culture Day,' which had, officially, nothing to do with the Meiji festival and had its origin as the day when the Constitution of Japan was announced on November 3, 1946.
Japanese: なお戦後は同じ日が国民の祝日「文化の日」となったが、これは昭和21年（1946年）の11月3日に日本国憲法が公布されたことに由来し、明治節とは関係なく定められたということになっている。
English: However, then prime minister Shigeru YOSHIDA intentionally made the dates of former national holidays become new national holidays; at first he scheduled to announce the Constitution of Japan on August 11 and to enact the same on February 11 (Kigensetsu (the National Foundation Day)), but since the government could not make it on schedule, they decided to announce the constitution on November 3 (Meiji festival) and to enact the same on May 3.
Japanese: ただし、当時の首相である吉田茂は、憲法制定のスケジュールを、当初は8月11日公布、2月11日（紀元節）施行とし、その日程に間に合わなかったことから11月3日（明治節）公布、5月3日施行にしており、意図的にそれまでの祝祭日祝日に日程を合わせている。
English: The birthday of the Emperor Showa became the 'Greenery Day' at the revision of the Act on National Holidays in 1898, when the Heisei period started, and was left to remain as a national holiday.
Japanese: 昭和天皇の誕生日は、平成元年（1989年、昭和64年）に祝日法の改正で「みどりの日」とされ、国民の祝日として残された。
English: Also in 2007, the name was changed from the 'Greenery Day' to the 'Showa Day' (the 'Greenery Day' was moved to May 4).
Japanese: さらに平成19年（2007年）からは「みどりの日」から「昭和の日」と名称が変更された（「みどりの日」は5月4日に移動）。
English: There was a banquet in the Imperial Court and Homeiden State Banquet Hall, and people who were invited to the banquet included 1st class standing of the imperial court or the 3rd rank No. 27 as well as the First Order of Merit foreigners, count, viscount and baron, as well as ambassador and minister-counselor of each country staying in the Empire of Japan.
Japanese: 宮中、豊明殿では宴会があり、お召しにあずかった者は宮中席次第一階ないし第三階第二十七の者ならびに勲一等雇外国人および伯、子、男爵ならびに大日本帝国駐剳各国大使、公使であった。
English: The prime minister, ambassador and chief minister-counselor replied to the Emperor and celebrated the eternity of life.
Japanese: 内閣総理大臣、ついで大使、公使の首席が奉答の辞を述べ、聖寿の無疆を祝した。
English: Regarding the Emperor Taisho, his actual birthday was August 31 and tencho setsu had been celebrated on that day until 1913.
Japanese: なお、大正天皇については実際の誕生日は8月31日で、大正2年（1913年）まではこの日に天長節が祝われた。
English: However, considering the difficulties of holding various events due to the heat of the season, since 1914, tencho setsu celebration began to be held on October 31.
Japanese: しかし、翌年以降は、盛暑の時期のために各種の行事催行が困難であることに配慮し、2か月後の10月31日を天長節祝日とした。
English: In the case of the Emperor Taisho, since his birthday or tencho setsu were not determined to be a national holiday after his death, the Emperor Taisho's birthday has not been a national holiday until now.
Japanese: 大正天皇の場合には、崩御後に誕生日および天長節を祝日とすることがなかったために、現在にいたるまで祝日とはなっていない。
English: Tencho setsu' (lyrics written by Mayori KUROKAWA, composed by Yoshiisa OKU): in 1893, it was determined as 'holiday and festival day song.'
Japanese: 「天長節」（作詞：黒川真頼（まより）、作曲：奥好義）：明治26年（1893年）「祝日大祭日唱歌」として制定。
English: Since Daihi was used for both the wife of a king and the wife of a great king, Daihi in the royal family had the same title as an Empress dowager in the Chinese empire.
Japanese: しかし、王大妃と大王大妃と同じ意味で使われることもあり、王室内では中国帝国でいう皇太后の様な位置にある。
English: The fundamental role of the empress dowager was to keep authority and stability in the royal family, but some of them rose to power by utilizing their title.
Japanese: 基本的に王室の権威と安定を図ったが、その地位を利用して権力の中心に座ることもあった。
English: The most prominent example is Empress dowager Chonhi (貞熹王后), mother of Yejong (King of Dynasty Korea) and Empress dowager Buntei, mother of Menso (King of dynasty Korea).
Japanese: 代表的な例では睿宗(朝鮮王)の母后である貞熹王后と明宗(朝鮮王)の母后である文定王后などがある。
English: Although Daio ohi had less political power compared to the empress dowager, she received the highest rank in the royal family and was highly respected as the grandmother of the King and she was a symbol of the royal family.
Japanese: 大王大妃は現王の母后である大妃と比べて政治的実権は少なかったが、王の祖母であるため王室最高位としての礼遇を受け、王室の威厳の象徴だった。
English: Therefore, King and ministers in the government could not interfere in decisions made by Daio ohi without reason, this was because Chonhi (貞熹) ogo (王后),Buntei ogo, Teijun ogo and Jungen ogo became the power behind the curtain (governance by women).
Japanese: そのため王や朝廷の大臣でも大王大妃の判断にむやみに口を挟めず、貞熹王后、文定王后、貞純王后、純元王后などは垂簾聴政により舞台裏の最高権力者になったりした。
English: Since most of empresses died when they were empresses and empress dowagers, very few lived long enough to become daio ohi.
Japanese: ほとんどの王妃は大妃や王大妃の頃に亡くなる場合が多いため、長生きして大王大妃になる王妃はとても少なかった。
English: However, sovereignty dropped because life got shorter in the middle period of Korean dynasty compared to the early period, the collateral line succeeded to the throne and the wage was relatively high.
Japanese: しかし朝鮮中期以降は初期と比べて短命であるとか、傍系承統で峰位であり賃金が相対的に高かったため王権が失墜した。
English: Prominent examples are Teijun ogo from the Kim clan of Gyeongju district and Jungen ogo from the Kim clan of Andong district.
Japanese: 代表的な例では慶州金氏出身の貞純王后と、安東金氏出身の純元王后がある。
English: Johyo (memorial to the emperor) was an act of handing Monjo (written material) (or Hyo [letters]) or the Monjo itself to the Emperor from any Koshin (Emperor's family) including Togu (crown prince), all the officials or general public.
Japanese: 上表（じょうひょう）とは、東宮以下の皇親・百官より庶民に至るまでが天皇に対して文書（表）を奉ること、またその文書（表）自体を指す。
English: If the person who did Johyo was a male, they addressed themselves as '臣' and if they were females they used '妾', and the beginning of their sentences were to have '臣(妾)某言' and their endings were to have '臣(妾)某誠惶誠恐頓首頓首死罪死罪謹言' (Yours faithfully).
Japanese: 上表を行う者が男性であれば「臣」、女性であれば「妾」からと自称し、表の書出しは「臣（妾）某言」、書止は「臣（妾）某誠惶誠恐頓首頓首死罪死罪謹言」となる。
English: These letters were handed to the Emperor through the Nakatsukasasho (Ministry of Central Affairs) and Daijokan, the highest organ of state affairs had no involvement.
Japanese: また、表は中務省を通じて天皇に提出され、国政の最高機関であった太政官は関与するところではなかった。
English: There were three major different types of Hyo: Gahyo (handed at celebratory occasions such as Emperor's Genpuku [coming of age], investitures of the Empress or the Crown Prince and Sakutan Toji [celebration when the winter solstice falls on November 1 of the lunar calendar. Once in 19 years, this is an auspicious day and has been celebrated at the court]), Kohyo (handed when the Emperor's family members wished to decline the Emperor's offer of abdication of the throne or people to decline the offers of privileges such as Fuko [salary] or Zuishin [having bodyguards]) and Jihyo (handed when people wished to resign or leave their government posts).
Japanese: 表は大きく分けると、天皇の元服、立后、立太子や朔旦冬至などの慶事に奉られる賀表（がひょう）、天皇から皇親への譲位や封戸・随身などの特権など天皇から賜る恩恵を辞退する際に奉られる抗表（こうひょう）、官職辞任・致仕する際に奉られる辞表（じひょう）の3種類があった。
English: Under the Senjoryo (the regulations for the recruitment and promotion of government officials), when government officials (nobles) of Jugoinoge (Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade) and over wished to resign his positions, they had to get the Emperor's permission; so it became a custom that they wrote a Jihyo when nobles resigned from government posts.
Japanese: 選叙令に従五位下以上の官人（貴族）が致仕する場合には必ず上表をして天皇の許可を得ることとなっていたため、貴族が官職を退く際には辞表が行われるようになった。
English: On the other hand, after the mid Heian period, Gahyo and Kohyo lost its significance and people started not to do these anymore, 'Johyo' became the same meaning as Jihyo.
Japanese: その一方で平安時代中期以後には賀表や抗表が形骸化されて行われなくなり、「上表」という言葉が辞表と同じ意味を持つようになった。
English: At that time, handing over a Jihyo became more like a ritual and the procedure of Johyo was carried over as a part of Yushoku-kojitsu (knowledge of court rules, ceremonies, decorum and records of the past).
Japanese: また、その頃になると辞表の提出そのものも儀礼化していき、上表の手続そのものが有職故実の一環として後世に伝えられた。
English: For the officials in high positions such as Sekkan (Regent to the Emperor), it became a custom in which, Johyo was handed three times: the first two times, the Emperor asked for dissuasion from resigning or leaving and handed it back and the third time he made a decision (whether to accept the Johyo and the resignation or hand it back to reject the resignation).
Japanese: 摂関などの高官による上表は3回行われてそのうち2回目までは天皇から慰留を受けて上表が返却され、3度目の上表を受けて天皇から辞任の可否が判断される（上表を納れて辞任を認めるか、返して辞任を拒否する）のが慣例とされた。
English: The first and second Johyo presented with formality were called 'Shodo' (first time) and 'Dainido' (second time); and the third one, the Emperor actually decided his answer, was called 'Daisando' (third time).
Japanese: 形式だけ行われる1度目と2度目の上表を「初度」「第二度」、実際に天皇が勅答を決める3度めを「第三度」の表と称した。
English: Later, when a newly appointed minister was to take up his new position, he was expected to present Johyo just before that and he had to do it until it was returned to him three times.
Japanese: 後には新任の大臣が就任直前に上表を行い、第三度の表の返却を受けるまで繰り返す事例が現れた。
English: In 808, when FUJIWARA no Otsugu was appointed as the Tosando Road Supervisor, he handed Johyo three times on June 1, 21 and December 17 but his request of refusal was not accepted ("Nihonkoki" [Later Chronicle of Japan]).
Japanese: 大同(日本)3年（808年）に東山道観察使に任ぜられた藤原緒嗣が6月1日・21日・12月17日の3度にわたって上表して辞任を許可されなかった（『日本後紀』）例。

Japanese: 長保2年（1000年）に内覧左大臣の藤原道長が病気のために4月27日・5月9日・18日に上表をして回復までの間との留保付で一旦辞任の勅許が下されているが、7月16日に道長の回復を理由に先の勅許が取り消されている（『権記』）例がある。
English: As for Johyo presented by a newly appointed minister, before the appointment, when FUJIWARA no Sanesuke was to be the new Udaijin (Minister of the Right) in 1021, he handed Johyo on June 16, 22 and 26 and all were returned; then he was appointed to the position on July 25 ("Shoyuki" [the diary of FUJIWARA no Sanesuke]).
Japanese: また、新任の大臣の上表としては、治安(日本)元年（1021年）に右大臣に就任することとなった藤原実資が就任前に6月16日・22日・26日に上表を行っているが返却され、7月25日に任命されている（『小右記』）。
English: When FUJIWARA no Koretane became very ill, the Emperor Enyu accepted Johyo from a Sessho (Regent) straight away and FUJIWARA no Naritoki criticized this dishonorable behavior (that the Emperor did not wait until he received the third Johyo).
Japanese: また、藤原伊尹が重態になった折に円融天皇が摂政の上表をすぐに受理してしまった事に対して藤原済時がその不見識（3度目まで待たなかったこと）を非難している。

English: Also, there are well-known examples that the Emperor Monmu granted the sword to AWATA no Mahito who was appointed to Minbu Shosho and Shitsusetsushi (an envoy to China) in 701 and the Emperor Kammu granted the sword to Seii Taishogun SAKANOUE no Tamuramaro who was assigned to conquer Ezo (Northerners) in 801.
