English: The KATO cabinet embarked on a wide range of reforms that included; the elimination of four army divisions and thereby the cut in the military budget by 100 million yen, the House of Peers reform involving the reduction of the count, viscount and baron members, among titled members, to 150, the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union based on the so-called Shidehara diplomacy by Kijuro SHIDEHARA, the enactment of the Universal Manhood Suffrage Law.
Japanese: 加藤内閣は陸軍4個師団の廃止や予算一億円の削減、有爵議員のうち、伯・子・男の数を150名に減らすなどの貴族院改革、幣原喜重郎の幣原外交によるソビエト連邦との国交樹立、普通選挙法の制定など、多くの改革が行なわれた。
English: Although Yukio OZAKI, Yoshichika TOKUGAWA (a son of Yoshinaga TOKUGAWA) opposed the enactment of the Peace Preservation Law to the end, finally, the law was enacted.
Japanese: 尾崎行雄や徳川義親（松平慶永の子）らは最後まで治安維持法成立に反対したが、結局、治安維持法は成立してしまった。
English: The Peace Preservation Law later became known to be one of bad laws enacted in the prewar period, however, it is rather ironic that such a bad law was made during the term of a cabinet established through campaign for protecting constitutionalism.
Japanese: この治安維持法はのちに戦前の悪法のひとつとされるようになるが、その悪法が護憲運動をもとに組閣された内閣のもとで成立したというのは、皮肉なものである。
English: The Ishiyama War took place from October 21, 1570 to September 20, 1580 between the Jodo Shinshu (the True Pure Land sect of Buddhism) Hongan-ji Temple force (or Ikko Ikki [Ikko sect's revolt]) and Nobunaga ODA.
Japanese: 石山合戦（いしやまがっせん）は、元亀元年9月12日(旧暦)（1570年10月11日）から天正8年8月2日(旧暦)（1580年9月10日）にかけての、浄土真宗本願寺勢力（一向一揆）と織田信長との戦い。
English: It is called the Ishiyama War, or 'Ishiyama Gassen' (石山合戦), because the chief priest Kennyo held Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple during the war.
Japanese: 本願寺門主の顕如が石山本願寺に篭って戦ったことから石山合戦と言われる。
English: In a broad sense, it can be said that this war lasted for almost 10 years (ended in the 11th year) from raising an army in Ishiyama on October 21, 1570 to Kennyo's leaving of the temple on September 20, 1580, but another theory says the war ended on April 1, 1580 because Hongan-ji Temple sent Nobunaga a written oath of the leave from Osaka to cease their battle action on that day.
Japanese: 広義では、元亀元年9月12日の石山挙兵から天正8年8月2日の顕如退去までの11年（10年間）を指すが、天正8年3月7日(旧暦)（1580年4月20日）に本願寺は大坂退去の誓紙を信長に届けて戦闘行為を休止したことから、閏3月7日を終わりとすることもある。
English: It was the military and political decisive war between Hongan-ji Temple, the largest armed religious power in the Sengoku period (period of warring states), and Nobunaga ODA, on his way to 'Tenkahubu' (the unification of Japan), and with the end of the war, Ikko ikki that had occurred in various areas significantly lost its momentum.
Japanese: 戦国時代最大の宗教的武装勢力である本願寺勢力と、天下布武を目指す織田信長との軍事的・政治的決戦であり、石山合戦の終結と同時に、各地の一向一揆はその勢いを著しく失った。
English: The expression 'Hongan-ji Temple power' is used here because 'Hongan-ji Temple school' would be confused with the current Jodo Shinshu Hongan-ji school (Nishi Hongan-ji Temple school).
Japanese: 本願寺勢力という言い方は、本願寺派とすると現在の浄土真宗本願寺派(西本願寺系）と混交するためである。
English: Osaka Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple was originally the place where the eighth chief priest Rennyo chose as his retreat, called Osaka Gobo (Ishiyama Gobo).
Japanese: 大坂石山本願寺は、もとは本願寺8世の蓮如が隠居先として選んだ場所であり、大坂御坊（石山御坊）と呼ばれた。
English: In Kinai region (the five capital provinces surrounding the ancient capitals of Nara and Kyoto), Hongan-ji Temple was based in Yamashina, Kyoto and as it became influential due to the Ikko Ikki, Harumoto HOSOKAWA, who feared its military power, attacked and set fire to Yamashina Hongan-ji Temple in collusion with the Nichiren sect in September, 1532 (the Battle of Yamashina Hongan-ji Temple/the Tenbun War/the Tenbun Hokke War).
Japanese: 畿内では本願寺は京都山科を本拠としていたが、一向一揆を背景として本願寺の影響力が強くなると、その武力を恐れた細川晴元は日蓮宗徒らと結託し、天文(元号)元年（1532年）8月に山科本願寺を焼き討ちした（山科本願寺山科本願寺の戦い/天文の錯乱/天文法華の乱）。
English: Since Yamashina turned into ruin by this attack, Hongan-ji Temple was forced to place a new base somewhere else.
Japanese: これにより山科は廃墟となり、本願寺は本拠を新たに定めなければならなくなった。
English: In those days, it had a large power in Kaga Province but it was far from Kyoto and inconvenient for believers.
Japanese: 本願寺は当時、加賀国に大きい勢力を持っていたが、加賀は信者の往来には不便であり、京都からも遠かった。
English: Meanwhile, in Osaka, a battle inside Hongan-ji Temple called the Daisho Ikki had occurred in the previous year of the battle in Yamashina and so there had been distrust of Hongan-ji Temple among believers there.
Japanese: また、山科焼失の前年に大小一揆と呼ばれる本願寺一門内の内戦を大坂で起こしており、現地の門徒の間には本願寺への不信感があった。
English: Then, the 10th chief priest Shonyo set Osaka Gobo, which was close to Kyoto and conveniently located, as the Hongan-ji Temple's new base and renamed it 'Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple.'
Japanese: そこで、10世の証如は京都に近く、交通の便の良い大坂御坊を本願寺の本拠とし、石山本願寺と改称した。
English: Threatened by the development of Ishiyama too, Harumoto HOSOKAWA repeatedly attacked Ishiyama but did not achieve any results at all because Ishiyama was best suited to defense with many hills and rivers and also because Hongan-ji Temple had built up its armaments, learning from Yamashina case.
Japanese: 細川晴元は石山の発展も恐れ、たびたび石山を攻撃したが、石山は小高い山や川が多く守りに適した土地であり、また山科を教訓として本願寺が軍備を進めていたために、まったく戦果を挙げられなかった。
English: Other powers of that time also feared Ishiyama's military power and avoided a conflict with Hongan-ji Temple by such ways as allying with it.
Japanese: 晴元以外の時の権力者も石山の武力を恐れ、同盟を結ぶなどして本願寺との戦火を避けた。
English: As a result, the Hongan-ji Temple power grew year by year and strengthened a connection with the central authority when the 11th chief priest Kennyo became Monzeki (this title was basically given to the Imperial family and nobility who entered into priesthood and became a chief priest).
Japanese: その結果、本願寺の権力は年々増大し、11世の顕如が門跡（門跡は皇族・貴族が僧籍に入り住職となる際の呼称）になるなど、中央権力との結びつきが強くなった。
English: Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA was the brother of Yoshiteru ASHIKAGA, the 13th shogun of the Muromachi bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun), and now it was ensured that Yoshiaki, who entered Kyoto with Nobunaga's military power, would ascend to the throne from the 14th shogun Yoshihide ASHIKAGA.
Japanese: 足利義昭は室町幕府13代将軍足利義輝の弟であり、義昭が信長の武力とともに京都に入ったことで、将軍の地位は14代足利義栄から義昭に渡ることが確実になった。
English: Nobunaga, building on the momentum and using Yoshiaki's authority, conquered almost all of Kinai region right after he entered Kyoto.
Japanese: 信長は、上洛した勢いと義昭の権威を背景として、上洛してすぐに畿内をほぼ制圧した。
English: He demanded that Hongan-ji Temple's branch temples in Kinai region such as Kyogyo-ji Temple pay the war funds and, if they refused it, attacked them.
Japanese: 信長は教行寺など畿内の本願寺系末寺に矢銭を要求し、応じない場合には攻撃した。
English: Nobunaga also requested Hongan-ji Temple to pay 5000 kan (unit of volume, approx.3.75 kg) of war funds under the pretext of 'reconstruction expenses of the Kyoto Imperial palace' and to leave Ishiyama, but Kennyo only accepted the claim of the war funds.
Japanese: さらに、信長は本願寺に「京都御所再建費用」の名目で矢銭5000貫を請求し、石山からの立ち退きも要求したが、顕如はこのうち矢銭の請求のみを受け入れ支払った。
English: From the middle of 1569, Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA more often acted on his own, gradually getting onto bad terms with Nobunaga.
Japanese: 1569年半ばから、足利義昭は勝手な行動が目立つようになり、信長との仲はだんだんと険悪になって行った。
English: In 1570, Nobunaga ordered Kennyo to leave Ishiyama again, but Kennyo firmly refused it.
Japanese: 1570年、信長は顕如に再度の立ち退き令を出したが、顕如も頑として譲らなかった。
English: This deteriorated a relationship between Hongan-ji Temple and Nobunaga while Yoshiaki and Hongan-ji Temple got close to each other.
Japanese: そのため、本願寺と信長の間は険悪になり、逆に義昭と本願寺が接近するようになった。
English: This was conducted nominally in retaliation for the Miyoshi clan's attack on Kyoto on the New Year's Day of the previous year, but Nobunaga's true intention was to threaten Hongan-ji Temple because he himself allegedly said, 'The next target of Miyoshi is Hongan-ji Temple.'
Japanese: これは、名目上は前年正月に三好氏が京都を攻めたことへの報復であったが、信長自身「三好氏の次は本願寺だ」という発言があったとされており、その本当の目的は本願寺への脅迫であった。
English: Sakihisa KONOE, who took refuge with Hongan-ji Temple after he was repelled from Kyoto by Yoshiaki, advised Kennyo to help the Miyoshi clan (However, then Sakihisa's anti-Nobunaga attitude came from his intention to defeat Yoshiaki, who was still officially protected by Nobunaga, and later he returned to Kyoto soon after Yoshiaki was expelled by Nobunaga, turning himself into a key figure among Nobunaga's allies.)
Japanese: また、当時義昭によって京都を追われていた石山本願寺を頼っていた近衛前久も顕如に三好氏支援を進言した（ただし、前久の「反信長」は表向きは未だ信長が擁立した形となっている義昭の排除が目的であり、義昭が信長によって追放されると京都に帰還して一転して信長派の中心人物となる）。
English: On October 21, 1570, Kennyo issued a manifesto to his believers, declaring that Nobunaga was a enemy of Buddhist who was trying to destroy Hongan-ji Temple, and suddenly attacked the Oda army that was deployed in Settsu Fukushima to attack the Miyoshi clan.
Japanese: 元亀元年（1570年）9月12日に顕如は「信長は本願寺を取り潰す仏敵である」として本願寺門徒に檄を飛ばし、三好氏攻略のために摂津福島に陣を敷いていた織田軍を突如攻撃した。
English: Outside Ishiyama, the Hongan-ji Temple army directly fought with the Oda army at the bank of Yodo-gawa River on 23.
Japanese: そのまま本願寺軍は石山を出て、14日に淀川堤で信長軍と直接激突した。
English: This battle ended while the Oda army had the upper hand and the Hongan-ji Temple force returned to Ishiyama and started to hold the temple.
Japanese: この戦いは織田軍優勢のうちに終わり、本願寺軍は石山に戻り篭城の構えを見せた。
English: Because the Oda army was already surrounded by enemies on all sides, it avoided a battle by asking the Imperial Court to issue an imperial rescript to urge Hongan-ji Temple to lay down its arms while a troops for surveillance was kept in Ishiyama.
Japanese: 織田軍は既に四面楚歌の状態であるため、石山に監視のための軍を置くと、朝廷に働きかけて本願寺軍に矛を収めるよう詔勅を出すなど、本願寺との戦闘を避けた。
English: Therefore, Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple's first rising actually ended in less than a month.
Japanese: そのため、石山本願寺の第一次挙兵は、実は1月もたたないうちに実質的には終わったのである。
English: Around the same time as raising an army in Ishiyama, another Ikko Ikki started from Nagashima Gansho-ji Temple (Nagashima Ikko Ikki) which exhibited its hostility against Nobunaga by destroying Nobunaga's younger brother Nobuoki ODA's Kokie-jo Castle in Owari Province, and, in June 1571, Nobunaga tried to exterminate Nagashima but failed with a lot of soldiers lost.
Japanese: 石山挙兵とほぼ同時に長島願証寺で一向一揆が発生（長島一向一揆）し、信長の弟織田信興が守る尾張の小木江城を滅ぼすなどして公然と信長に敵対するようになると、元亀2年（1571年）5月に信長は長島殲滅を図るが失敗し、多数の兵を失った。
English: In this year, Nobunaga's achievements against the Ikko Ikki included only two surrenders of Shimura-jo Castle and Kanagamori-jo Castle in which Ikko ikki forces barricaded, in September.
Japanese: この年の一向一揆に対する戦果は、9月に一向一揆の篭る志村城・金ヶ森城を降伏させたに留まる。
English: When Nobunaga built his own residence in Kyoto in 1572, Kennyo presented him with a scroll depicting Wan Li Jiang Shan mountain and a Shiro Tenmoku tea bowl in April.
Japanese: また、元亀3年（1572年）に信長が京都に自身の屋敷を建てた際には、3月に顕如から万里江山の一軸と白天目の茶碗を贈呈されている。
English: In August, Nobunaga issued an order to ban Ikko sect to his vassals which strained the relationship, but peace was made at the mediation of Shingen TAKEDA.
Japanese: 7月には家臣に一向宗禁令を出すなど緊迫したが、これは武田信玄の仲介という形で和議を結んでいる。
English: In 1573, Nobunaga attacked Nagashima again but in vain, too.
Japanese: 元亀4年/天正元年（1573年）に信長は再度長島を攻めたがまたも失敗した。
English: Although there were no actual fights during this period, 'information warfare' was very active.
Japanese: ただし、兵力を出して戦火を交えてはいないものの、いわゆる情報戦は非常に盛んであった。
English: By around the end of 1572 at latest, Kennyo secretly formed an alliance with Shingen TAKEDA and the Mori clan with the aim of attacking Nobunaga from both east and west sides.
Japanese: 顕如は遅くとも1572年末ごろまでには、武田信玄や毛利氏などと密かに同盟を結んでおり、信長を東西から挟撃しようと画策している。
English: As a matter of course, Nobunaga made diplomatic efforts with the Imperial Court and made peace moves with Kenshin UESUGI to check Hongan-ji Temple.
Japanese: 当然、信長もそれを牽制するために、朝廷外交や上杉謙信への友好工作などを行っている。
English: Therefore, until the end of 1573, Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple and Nobunaga were checking each other although there were no actual battles between them, and their relationship during this period may be described as 'a little more peaceful than the cold war.'
Japanese: したがって1573年末までは、石山本願寺と信長は互いに牽制しつつも戦火を交えない、いわば冷戦よりややましな程度で推移していたと思われる。
English: In 1573, Nobunaga destroyed the Asakura clan and then the Azai clan, and appointed Yoshitsugu MAEBA as Shugodai (deputy military governor) to reign Echizen, where the Asakura clan had had its residential castle.
Japanese: 1573年、信長は朝倉氏と浅井氏を相次いで滅ぼし、朝倉氏の居城のあった越前には前波吉継を守護代に任じて統治させた。
English: However, Yoshitsugu came to behave rudely and, in February of the following year, he was murdered by the Ikko Ikki force in collusion with local lords including Nagashige TOMITA.
Japanese: しかし、吉継は粗暴な振る舞いが多くなり、翌年の1月に富田長繁ら国人領主と結んだ一向一揆によって殺された。
English: Moreover, local lords who had cooperated with the Ikko Ikki were attacked one after another by the Ikki itself and Echizen became a country owned by the Ikko Ikki.
Japanese: さらに一向一揆と結んだ国人領主も次々と一揆の襲撃にあい越前は一向一揆のもちたる国となった。
English: Receiving this news, Kennyo firstly dispatched Yorichika SHICHIRI and then appointed Raisho SHIMOTSUMA as Shugodai of Echizen.
Japanese: これを知った顕如は、はじめ七里頼周を派遣し、その後下間頼照を越前守護に任じた。
English: Thus, peace between Hongan-ji Temple and Nobunaga collapsed and on May 13, Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple raised an army against the Oda clan again.
Japanese: こうして本願寺と信長の和議は決裂し、4月2日に石山本願寺は織田家に対し再挙兵した。
English: Hongan-ji Temple faced off against Nobunaga on three bases, Nagashima, Echizen and Ishiyama, but this system had a weak point in that the military was established at each base almost individually.
Japanese: 本願寺は長島・越前・石山の3拠点で信長に敵対していたが、この弱点は互いに半ば独立して軍政を敷いていることであった。
English: In August, Nobunaga, issuing a large-scale mobilization order, besieged Nagashima by land and by sea and blockaded their supply lines to starve the enemy out while making sporadic attacks.
Japanese: 7月、信長は大動員令を発して長島を陸上・海上から包囲し、散発的に攻撃を加えるとともに補給路を封鎖して兵糧攻めにした。
English: The ikki armies locking themselves in Nagashima, Yanagashima and Nakae could not hold out and surrendered their fortresses on November 3.
Japanese: 長島・屋長島・中江の3個所に篭った一揆勢はこれに耐え切れず、9月29日には降伏開城した。
English: But Nobunaga did not allow the losers to survive and implemented 'negiri' (extermination) by killing all men escaping from Nagashima and by burning out people in Yanagashima and Nakae, which were surrounded by palisades, forcing the leader Sagyo of Gansho-ji Temple to kill himself.
Japanese: しかし、信長はこれを許さず長島から出る者を根切に処し、残る屋長島・中江の2個所は柵で囲んで焼き殺し、指導者であった願証寺の佐堯は自害した。
English: In 1575, Nobunaga defeated Katsuyori TAKEDA, one of the anti-Nobunaga coalition members, in Nagashino and, after giving enough break to soldiers, he issued a mobilization order and set off to Echizen in September 26.
Japanese: 天正3年（1575年）には、信長は包囲網の一角である武田勝頼を長篠の戦いで破り、兵を十分に休めた後で動員令を発し、8月12日に越前に向けて進発した。
English: Meanwhile in Echizen, Raisho SHIMOTSUMA and other priests dispatched from Hongan-ji Temple imposed a heavy tax and worsened a relationship with the citizens that had participated in the Ikki, resulting in 'ikki inside ikki,' where another Ikki broke out against the priests' tyranny.
Japanese: 一方越前では、下間頼照ら本願寺から派遣された坊官らが重税を課した事などにより、越前で一揆をおこした民衆との関係は悪化し、坊官の専横に反発し一揆が起こるという一揆内一揆まで起きた。
English: Seizing on the confusion inside the Ikko sect, the Oda army immediately conquered Echizen without a single defeat and furthermore pushed into the southern Kaga Province, 'a country owned by peasants.'
Japanese: こうした一向宗内部の混乱に乗じ織田軍は連戦連勝で瞬く間に越前を制圧し、さらに「百姓の持ちたる国」加賀の南部まで攻め込んだ。
English: Receiving the news that two of the three bases of Hongan-ji Temple were smashed and that especially in Nagashima, a thorough negiri was implemented, Kennyo made peace with Nobunaga again by apologizing for his act and also providing a written oath and articles.
Japanese: 本願寺3拠点の2つが撃破され、特に長島では徹底的な根切を行ったことを知った石山本願寺は、顕如が信長に対して自らの行為を侘び、さらに条目と誓紙を納めることで信長と再度和議を結んだ。
English: Unlike in the previous compromise, Nobunaga got significant advantages in this time's peace agreement, saying that it was up to Kennyo's future act whether he would forgive Kennyo.
Japanese: しかし、前回の和議とは異なり、信長が「今後の対応を見て赦免するかを決める」とするなど、著しく信長に有利な状態での和議となった。
English: (In fact, given Nobunaga's military situation where he was still surrounded by Uesugi, Takeda and Mori, the peace was not bad for himself.)
Japanese: （実際には、信長はまだ上杉・武田・毛利に挟まれており、信長にとっても和議は軍事上悪い話では無かった）。
English: In the spring of 1576, Kennyo raised an army for the third time in cooperation with Shogun Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA, who was taken up by the Mori clan.
Japanese: 天正4年（1576年）春、顕如は毛利氏に庇護されていた将軍足利義昭と与して三たび挙兵した。
English: After the besiege, however, Hongan-ji Temple still had ammunition and food supplied from Ronokishi (now Chuo Ward, Osaka City) and Kizu (now Naniwa Ward, Osaka City) by sea.
Japanese: しかし、包囲後も本願寺は楼岸（現大阪市中央区_(大阪市)）や木津（同浪速区）から海上を経由して弾薬・兵糧を補給していた。
English: When the Oda army attacked Kizu, the Hongan-ji Temple army kicked back to repel it with over 10,000 of soldiers, invading close to the Tenno-ji Temple fortress.
Japanese: 信長軍が木津を攻めると、本願寺軍は逆に一万を超える軍勢をもって木津の信長軍を蹴散らし、天王寺砦付近まで攻め入った。
English: Hearing of this loss, Nobunaga immediately ordered his armies in each district to go to the front but the troops were long coming because of the short notice.
Japanese: この敗報を聞いた信長は、すぐさま諸国へ陣触れを発したが、突然のことであるために兵の集結が遅かった。
English: Impatient Nobunaga hit out at the Hongan-ji Temple army of 15,000 soldiers surrounding Tenno-ji Temple with only 3,000 soldiers.
Japanese: そのため信長は痺れを切らし、三千ばかりの兵を連れて天王寺を包囲している一万五千余の本願寺軍に攻めかかった。
English: Right after he broke the encircling enemy and entered the fortress, he joined the troops inside and came out back to enemies.
Japanese: また、包囲を突破して砦に入ると、すぐさま砦内の兵と合流して討って出た。
English: Having thought that the Oda army would choose to hold the fortress, the Hongan-ji Temple army disconcertedly took flight and retreated to Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple (the Battle of Tenno-ji Temple, 1576).
Japanese: そのため、篭城策を取るものと思い込んでいた本願寺軍は浮き足立って敗走し、石山本願寺に退却した（天王寺の戦い(1576年)）。
English: Afterwards, Nobunaga built fortresses on four sides of Hongan-ji Temple and another fortress on the sea side in Sumiyoshi to have the temple under complete siege.
Japanese: その後、信長は石山本願寺の四方に付城を、住吉の浜手に要害を設けて本願寺を完全包囲下に置いた。
English: Terumoto accepted the request and on August 19, the Mori navy including the Murakami navy appeared on the sea off Osaka with 7-800 ships (around 600, in reality) to carry food and ammunition.
Japanese: 輝元は要請に応じ、7月15日に村上水軍など毛利水軍の船七､八百艘（実際は六百艘程度と言われる）が兵糧・弾薬を運ぶために大坂の海上に現れた。
English: In response, the Kuki navy, a Nobunaga army's vassal, blocked the estuary of Kizu-gawa River (Osaka Prefecture) with around 300 ships but the Mori navy, outnumbering the enemy, burnt out ships of the Oda army using flaming arrows and horokudama bombs (A fire smolders inside this weapon and, when it hits a target, fire comes out and suddenly spreads.) and sent Hongan-ji Temple the supply after the complete victory (the first Naval Battle of Kizu-gawa River Estuary).
Japanese: 信長軍はすぐさま、配下の九鬼水軍など三百余艘で木津川(大阪府)河口を封じたが、毛利水軍は数の利を生かして火矢や焙烙玉（中に火がくすぶっており、目標に当たると中身が出て一気に燃え広がる武器）で信長軍の船を焼き払い、大勝して本願寺に兵糧・弾薬を届けた（第一次木津川口海戦）。
English: On March 1 of the following year, the Saika Mikarami shu (local military group) and Sugi no Bo of Negoro-ji Temple in Kii Province, who had cooperated to Hongan-ji Temple, promised a betrayal.
Japanese: 翌年の2月2日、本願寺に協力していた紀伊の雑賀三緘衆と根来寺の杉の坊が信長軍への内応を約束した。
English: In response, Nobunaga made preparations and left Kyoto on March 12, and pushed into Izumi and Kii, the bases of the opponent forces Saikashu.
Japanese: これを受けて、信長は準備を整えた上で2月13日に京都を出て、対抗する雑賀勢の篭る和泉・紀伊に攻め入った。
English: Entering Kii without big loss thanks to divided forces into a mountain-side group and a shore-side group, Nobunaga sieged and attacked the castle of Magoichi SUZUKI, one of the Saikashu on March 30.
Japanese: 山手・浜手の二手に分けて攻め入る方法が功を奏し、大きな損害もなく紀伊に攻め入った信長は、3月1日に雑賀衆の一人である鈴木孫一の居城を包囲し攻め立てた。
English: However, the Saikashu, worried about a war-torn land due to the attack, offered a surrender on the condition that they would give consideration to the attack in Osaka on the following day, and Nobunaga accepted it and withdrew.
Japanese: しかし、この攻勢で周辺一帯が荒れ果てたため、事態を憂慮した雑賀衆が翌日に大坂での事に配慮を加えることを条件に降伏を申し入れたため、信長はこれを受け入れて兵を引いた。
English: After the defeat in Kizu-gawa River, Nobunaga told Yoshitaka KUKI, the leader of the Kuki navy, to build unburnable ships so that Yoshitaka had been developing armored warships with the exterior covered with iron plates.
Japanese: 木津川での敗戦後、信長は九鬼水軍の長である九鬼嘉隆に燃えない船を造るように命じ、嘉隆は船の外装に鉄板を貼った鉄甲船の建造を進めていた。
English: Nobunaga also ordered Kazumasu TAKIGAWA to make a large white ship and then on August 9, 1578, a fleet led by the seven ships, six armored warships and a large white ship, left Kumano for Osaka.
Japanese: また、それとは別に滝川一益にも白仕立ての大船の建造を命じており、天正6年（1578年）6月26日、鉄甲船六隻と白舟一隻の計七隻を中心とした船団が熊野から大坂沖に向けて出航した。
English: To counterattack it, Hongan-ji Temple encircled the fleet with small ships in Tannowa (now Misaki Cho, Osaka Prefecture) and attacked with guns and flaming arrows.
Japanese: 本願寺はこれを迎え討つべく、淡輪（現大阪府岬町）でこの船団を小船で取り囲み、鉄砲や火矢で攻撃した。
English: In the face of this attack, however, Yoshitaka kicked back and sank a lot of opponent ships with cannons.
Japanese: しかし、嘉隆はこれをあしらうように応戦し、大砲も使って敵船の多くを撃沈した。
English: The Hongan-ji Temple navy, frightened at this attack and hesitant to even approach the fleet, let the Oda fleet easily reach Sakai City on August 30 and blockade the sea route to Ishiyama on the following day.
Japanese: これに恐れをなした本願寺は、船団に近寄ることすら躊躇うようになり、船団は7月17日に難なく堺市に着岸し、翌日から石山本願寺への海路を封鎖した。
English: The Oda army led by the Yoshitaka's armored warships counterattacked it while the Mori navy repeated aggressive attacks with flaming arrows and horokudama bombs.
Japanese: 信長軍は九鬼嘉隆の鉄甲船を中心として立ち向かったが、毛利水軍はまたも火矢や焙烙玉で積極果敢に攻撃を繰り返した。
English: However, like in the battle in Tannowa, Yoshitaka used the tactic in which the armored warships approached and shot cannons to the ships which the opponent general probably was aboard to sink them, and finally succeeded in repelling hundreds of Mori's ships to the sea off Kizu (the second Naval Battle of Kizu-gawa River Estuary).
Japanese: しかし、嘉隆は淡輪での戦いと同様に、鉄甲船を相手の大将が乗っていると思われる舟に近づけては大砲を打ち込んで撃沈するという方法で相手を打ち崩し、ついには毛利水軍の舟数百艘を木津沖に追い返すことに成功した（第二次木津川口の戦い）。
English: In November 1578, Murashige ARAKI, who had taken a key role in attacking Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple in Settsu, rebelled against Nobunaga (the Battle of Arioka-jo Castle) and Nobunaga's strategy against Hongan-ji Temple began to fell out of order seriously.
Japanese: 天正6年10月、摂津における石山本願寺討伐の要であった荒木村重の離反によって（有岡城の戦い）信長の対石山本願寺戦略に重大な狂いを見せた。
English: The Imperial Court accepted Nobunaga's request and sent an imperial envoy but Hongan-ji Temple virtually refused it, saying that it could not agree without Mori's approval, which led to the collapse of the negotiation.
Japanese: 朝廷は信長の希望を受け入れて勅使を送ったものの、本願寺は毛利氏の賛同が無いと応じられないとしてこれを事実上拒否したため交渉は決裂した。
English: Then, Nobunaga decided to make peace with the Mori clan too, and an imperial envoy was sent.
Japanese: これを受けて信長は毛利氏とも講和する事を決め、毛利氏への勅使が派遣される事になった。
English: Right after this, however, Nobunaga stopped the peace talks because the Oda navy won a complete victory in the second Naval Battle of Kizu-gawa River Estuary, and he focused on conquering Murashige.
Japanese: しかしその直後、第二次木津川口海戦において織田水軍が大勝すると信長は和平交渉を中止し、村重攻略を進めた。
English: Although Murashige's revolt itself lasted for a long period, an impact on the Hongan-ji Temple attack was minimized because the revolt was not echoed by the neighboring Oda lords' rebellions.
Japanese: また、村重の反乱自体が周辺の織田方武将の呼応を伴わなかったために、反乱自体は長期にわたったものの石山本願寺攻略への影響は最小限に留まった。
English: With the defeat of the Mori navy in the second Battle of Kizu-gawa River Estuary, Hongan-ji Temple, worried about lack of ammunition and food in the future, finally began to seek for a permanent compromise and, in December 1579, secretly contacted the Imperial Court to ask for the resumption of the previous year's negotiation.
Japanese: 第二次木津川口海戦での毛利水軍敗退を受けて本願寺は将来の弾薬や食料の欠乏を恐れ、天正7年（1579年）12月、ついに恒久的な和議を検討するようになり、密かに朝廷に先年の和解話のやり直しの希望を伝えた。
English: Nobunaga, expecting this action, already restarted to ask the Imperial Court for a mediation for the pacification.
Japanese: その動きを期待していた信長側でも再度朝廷に講和の仲介を働きかけていた。
English: Then, in March 26, 1580, the Imperial Court sent imperial envoys, Haretoyo KAJUJI and Shigeyasu NIWATA, to Hongan-ji Temple to confirm the will of the Toshiyorishu (senior vassals) and they agreed to proceed with the peace talks.
Japanese: そのような状況の中で翌天正8年（1580年）3月1日、朝廷は本願寺へ勧修寺晴豊と庭田重保を勅使として遣わして年寄衆の意向を質し、本願寺は和議を推し進めることで合意した。
English: Nobunaga also sent Sakihisa KONOE, who knew how this war had broken out, to look for a compromise with Hongan-ji Temple.
Japanese: また、信長も別箇に開戦の経緯を知る近衛前久を派遣して本願寺側との妥協点を探った。
