English: However, the rumor emerged that the shogunate viewed the sale of Kazan's works to support his life as a problem (one theory says this was a scheme attempted by an anti-Kazan group in the Tahara Domain), and since Kazan was afraid it would damage the domain, he killed himself by seppuku in the barn of the Ikenohara residence, having left the farewell words 'Fuchu Fuko Watanabe Nobori' (Disloyal, Unfilial, Watanabe Nobori).
Japanese: ところが、生活のために絵を売っていたことが幕府で問題視されたとの風聞が立ち（一説には藩内の反崋山派による策動とされている）、藩に迷惑が及ぶことを恐れた崋山は「不忠不孝渡辺登」の絶筆の書を遺して、池ノ原屋敷の納屋にて切腹した。
English: The pressure of the anti-Kazan group remained so strong even after his death that, according to some records, they didn't allow the establishment of Kazan's tomb even after his son, Shoka WATANABE, assumed the post of karo (chief retainer) of the Tahara Domain in order to restore his family's impaired reputation (it was in April 7, 1868, immediately before the collapse of the Edo shogunate, that the shogunate allowed the rehabilitation of Kazan's honor and the construction of his tomb).
Japanese: 崋山に対する反崋山派の圧力はその死後も強く、また幕府の手前もあり、息子の渡辺小崋が家老に就任して家名再興を果たした後も墓を建立することが許されなかったという（江戸幕府が崋山の名誉回復と墓の建立を許可したのは、江戸幕府滅亡直前の明治元年3月15日(旧暦)（1868年4月7日）のことであった）。
English: Because Shoka and all the children of Kazan did not have children of their own, Kazan's family line was extinguished in the Meiji period.
Japanese: なお、小崋をはじめとする崋山の子女はいずれも子供に恵まれなかったために、明治期にその家系は断絶することになった。
English: At first he studied painting under his great-uncle Bunkyo HIRAYAMA, and then he studied with Shizan SHIRAKAWA, but eventually Kazan was excommunicated by Shirakawa because his family could not send him gifts.
Japanese: 最初、大叔父の平山文鏡に画の手ほどきを受け、続いて白川芝山に師事したが付届けができないことを理由に破門された。
English: Feeling sorry for him, his father found that the professional painter Kinryo KANEKO was a retainer of a relative of the Tahara Domain's lord family and asked Kaneko to take Kazan as his student based on that connection, whereupon Kaneko accepted it (Kazan was then 16 years old).
Japanese: これを憐れんだ父は、藩主の姻戚の家来というつてを頼って金子金陵に崋山の弟子入りを頼み、受け入れられた（崋山16歳）。
English: According to Kazan, he was paid one kan (a monetary unit of the Edo period) for 100 paintings drawn, but he had acquired a rapid drawing technique from his side job; it seems apparent that this technique was very helpful when he drew sketches to accompany the travel essays he wrote in later years.
Japanese: 崋山によれば百枚書いて、銭一貫だったというが、このときに絵を速く描く技術を身につけたことは、後年の紀行文中のスケッチなどに大きく役立ったであろうことがうかがえる。
English: Buncho knew that Kazan had great potential; not only did he teach him the painting techniques but his works also served as the role models of literati painting for Kazan.
Japanese: 文晁は華山の才能を見抜き、画技のみならず文人画としての手本となった。
English: Although he was certainly influenced by Western painting, he established his own unprecedented style.
Japanese: 西洋画の影響があったことは間違いないがかつて例のない独自の画法を確立させた。
English: His representative portrait works include 'Portrait of Takami Senseki,' 'Portrait of Sato Issai' and 'Portrait of Ichikawa Beian.'
Japanese: 代表作としては、「鷹見泉石像」・「佐藤一斎像」・「市河米庵像」などが知られる。
English: In 1835, one of his painter friends Kinrei TAKIZAWA died, and Kazan was asked by Kinrei's father Kyokutei Bakin to draw Kinrei's portrait at the funeral.
Japanese: 1835年（天保6）、画家友達であった滝沢琴嶺が没し、崋山は葬儀の場で琴嶺の父・曲亭馬琴にその肖像画の作成を依頼された。
English: In those days, a person's portrait was often drawn often after death, so the painter had to draw the portraits without actually seeing the model and therefore needed to imagine in order to draw, which should also have been the case with Kazan's drawing of Kinrei's portrait.
Japanese: 当時、肖像画は当人の没後に描かれることが多く、画家はしばしば実際に実物を見ることなく、やむを得ず死者を思い出しながら描くことがしばしばあり、崋山の琴嶺像執筆もそうなる予定だった。
English: Kazan, however, didn't accept that approach; instead he opened the lid of the coffin, took a look of Kinrei's face, sketched it and touched his face (according to Bakin's book, "Nochino tameno ki" (Records for the Future).
Japanese: ところが崋山はそれを受け入れず、棺桶のふたを開けて琴嶺を覗き込んでスケッチし、さらに顔に直接触れたという（馬琴『後の為の記』）。
English: Kazan had originally started painting partly for the purpose of supporting his family, but his talent brought great success, and the frame of reference and personal connections he obtained as he mastered painting were indispensable for enhancing his very original manner of thinking.
Japanese: 元々崋山は貧しさをしのぐ目的もあり画業を始めたのだが、それが大きく花開き、また画業を習得する際に得た視野や人脈は、崋山の発想を大きくするために得がたいものとなった。
English: As a man of literature, Kazan produced travel writings and essays including "Zengakudo Hiroku" and "Nikko Kiko"; his writings, like his abundant illustrations, vividly depict the scenes of his travels and serve as important materials to depict the culture, local manners and customs.
Japanese: また、文人としては随筆紀行文である『全楽堂日録』『日光紀行』などを残し、文章とともに多く残されている挿絵が旅の情景を髣髴させるとともに、当時を文化・風俗を知る重要な資料となっている。
English: Toshiie MAEDA (前田 利家, January 25, 1539 - April 27, 1599) was a busho (Japanese military commander) and daimyo (Japanese feudal lord) from the Sengoku period (period of warring states) (the late Muromachi period) to the Azuchi-Momoyama period.
Japanese: 前田利家（まえだとしいえ、天文7年12月25日（1539年1月15日）－慶長4年閏3月3日（1599年4月27日））は、戦国時代（室町時代後期）から安土桃山時代にかけての武将、大名。
English: Toshiie MAEDA was born as the fourth son of Toshimasa (another name of Toshiharu) MAEDA, the lord of Arako-jo Castle at Arako Village, Kaito County, Owari Province, and at first he served Nobunaga ODA as a kosho (page).
Japanese: 尾張国海東郡荒子村の荒子城主前田利昌の四男として生まれ、はじめ小姓として織田信長に仕えた。
English: In his youth, he followed Nobunaga to take part in wars as one of Akahoro-shu (elite bodyguard unit with a red hood on the back), and because he was an expert of a yari (spear), people feared him and called him by another name "Yari no Mataza" (Matazaemon the spear master).
Japanese: 青年時代は赤母衣衆として信長に従軍、槍の名手だった故「槍の又左」の異名をもって怖れられた。
English: After Nobunaga was assassinated by Mitsuhide AKECHI in the Honnoji Incident, he stood by Katsuie SHIBATA at first, but then served Hideyoshi HASHIBA as a subordinate.
Japanese: 信長が本能寺の変により明智光秀に討たれると、はじめ柴田勝家に付くが、後に羽柴秀吉に臣従した。
English: He took part in the wars for Hideyoshi's campaign to suppress the whole of Japan as a chief vassal of the Toyotomi family, and he was given Kaga and Ecchu Provinces and set the foundation of the so-called Kaga Hyaku-man koku (the Kaga domain with one million koku [about five million bushels] of rice produced annually).
Japanese: 豊臣家の宿老として秀吉の天下平定事業に従軍し、秀吉より加賀、越中国を与えられ加賀百万石の礎を築く。
English: In 1598, he was appointed as a member of the Gotairo of the Toyotomi government and the guardian of Hideyori TOYOTOMI by Hideyoshi.
Japanese: 慶長3年（1598年）には秀吉より豊臣政権五大老のひとり、豊臣秀頼の傳役（後見人）を任じられた。
English: After Hideyoshi died, he worked as an arbitrator of the fight between the military government group and the civilian government group whose conflict had become actualized, and made every effort to lay a restraint on Ieyasu TOKUGAWA who maneuvered behind the scenes to usurp the hegemony, but he also died of disease eight months after the death of Hideyoshi.
Japanese: 秀吉の死後、対立が顕在化する武断派、文治派の争いに仲裁役として働き、覇権奪取のため横行する徳川家康の牽制に尽力するが、秀吉の死の8ヶ月後に病没した。
English: On January 25, 1539, Toshiie MAEDA was born at Arako Village, Kaito County, Owari Province (Nakagawa Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture) as the fourth son of Toshimasa (also called Toshiharu) MAEDA, the head of the Arako-Maeda family, the powerful local clan who had dominated that area.
Japanese: 天文7年12月25日（新暦1539年1月15日）、尾張国海東郡荒子村（愛知県名古屋市中川区）において、その地を支配していた土豪荒子前田家の当主である前田利昌（利春とも）の四男として生まれる。
English: It is said that Nobunaga who was called an utsuke (the stupid) or a kabukimono (an eccentric person) in those days got to favor Inuchiyo who was also a kabukimono, and that they dressed in the kimono for women or the outlandish kimono made of animal skin and others and they committed delinquent and deviated behaviors together (it is also said that Nobunaga and Toshiie had already known each other before Toshiie became a page.)
Japanese: 当時うつけ、かぶき者などと評されていた信長は、同じく傾奇者であった犬千代を気に入り、共に女物の着物や動物の皮などで仕立てられた派手な着物を着て無法・逸脱行為を働いていたという（信長と利家は仕官以前から面識があったともいわれる）。
English: In 1552, he took part in the war for the first time in the Battle of Kayatsu which was broken out between Nobunaga and Nobutomo ODA, the lord of Kiyosu-jo Castle of the Oda Yamato no Kami family (the Kiyosu Oda clan) who governed Owari Shimo Yongun (the lower four counties of Owari), and made an achievement of getting one severed head (Memoranda of Shigeyori MURAI).
Japanese: 翌天文21年（1552年）に尾張下四郡を支配する織田大和守家（清洲織田氏）の清洲城主、織田信友と信長の間に起こった萱津の戦いで初陣し、首級ひとつを挙げる功を立てる（村井重頼覚書）。
English: The rumor that Toshiie was in the shudo (homosexual) relationship with Nobunaga in those days has been handed down in the documents of the Kaga domain "Ashoko On-yobanashi" (Night Stories of Lord Chief Councilor [Toshiie MAEDA]) as 'the story of the crane soup (the anecdote of the time when Toshiie was envied by everybody because Nobunaga announced that Toshiie had been his lover in their youth in the banquet for the military exploits)'.
Japanese: この頃、信長とは衆道（同性愛）の関係にあったことが加賀藩の資料『亜相公御夜話』に、「鶴の汁の話（信長に若い頃は愛人であったことを武功の宴会で披露され皆に羨ましがられた時の逸話）」として残されている。
English: Toshiie as a young man was vigorous, and was called by another name like Yari no Matazaemon or Yari no Mataza.
Japanese: 青年時代の利家は血気盛んで槍の又左衞門、槍の又左などの異名をもって呼ばれていた。
English: In 1556, in the Battle of Inou which was the strife over authority of the Oda family fought between Nobunaga and his younger brother Nobukatsu ODA, although Toshiie was shot under the right eye with an arrow by the head of the enemy's pages named Kanbei MIYAI, he made a great achievement by killing this shooter.
Japanese: 弘治2年（1556年）、信長と、その弟の織田信勝による織田家の権力闘争である稲生の戦いでは、宮井勘兵衛なる小姓頭に右目下を弓で射抜かれながらも討ち取るという功績を上げる。
English: In 1558, he also took part in the Battle of Ukino which was a conflict with Nobukata ODA, a son of Nobuyasu ODA (the Iwakura ODA clan), Shugodai (Deputy military governor) and Lord of Iwakura-jo Castle, who had governed Owari Kami Yongun (Upper four counties of Owari), and rendered a remarkable achievement.
Japanese: 永禄元年（1558年）、尾張上四郡を支配していた守護代岩倉城主、織田信安（岩倉織田氏）の息子、織田信賢との争いである浮野の戦いにも従軍し功積を挙げた。
English: It is said that it was about the time of this battle that he began to be called by another name like "Yari no Matazaemon" or "Yari no Mataza".
Japanese: 「槍の又左衞門」「槍の又左」などの異名で呼ばれ始めたのも、この戦いの頃からという。
English: Besides, after this battle, he was unexpectedly selected as the head of the Akahoro-shu which was one of the red and black horo-shu (elite troops under the direct supervision of Nobunaga with a nature of his bodyguards, who ran in the battle fields as orderlies with akahoro [red hood] or kurohoro [black hood] on their backs) which were organized newly around 1558 and a lot of yoriki were incorporated under his command, and furthermore, he had his chigyo (enfeoffment) increased by 100 kan.
Japanese: また、この戦いの後、永禄初年頃に新設された赤と黒の母衣衆（信長の親衛隊的存在の直属精鋭部隊）の赤母衣衆筆頭に抜擢され多くの与力を添えられた上に、100貫の加増を受ける。
English: In the same year, he received his cousin Matsu (Hoshunin) as his shitsu (legal wife), and he was just about to step off into the hopeful future with everything being smooth, but in the next year, 1559, he got into a dispute with Juami, one of Doboshu (attendants of a person of high rank who are in charge of entertainment), so that he cut him to death and ran away immediately with no excuse.
Japanese: 同年、従妹であるまつ（芳春院）を室に迎え、順風満帆の将来を歩もうとした矢先、翌永禄2年（1559年）に同朋衆の拾阿弥と諍いを起こし、拾阿弥を斬殺したまま出奔。
English: Although it was thought at first that he was not able to escape being punished, thanks to the mediation to Nobunaga by Katsuie SHIBATA, Yoshinari MORI and others, his sentence was reduced to the penalty of prohibition of serving, and he began living a ronin (masterless samurai) life (some people interpret this penalty to be a test by Nobunaga to make sure whether Toshiie would serve another daimyo or not, and to judge whether he would be trustworthy.)
Japanese: 当初、この罪での成敗は避けられなかったが、柴田勝家や森可成らの信長への取り成しにより、出仕停止処分に減罰され、浪人暮らしをする（浪人の2年間、信長は利家が他の大名に仕官するかしないか見極め、信用が出来るか試したという解釈もある）。
English: During this period, he scarcely made a living by such means as getting the patronage of Toshisada TSUBOUCHI, the lord of Matsukura-jo Castle (Owari Province).
Japanese: この間、松倉城(尾張国)城主の坪内利定の庇護を受けるなどで、命をつないでいる。
English: Later in 1560, while Toshiie had been sentenced to prohibition of serving, he took part in the Battle of Okehazama without Nobunaga's permission, and he made achievements of killing enemies and severing three heads in total, one in the morning battle and two in the final battle, but he was not allowed to return to the service for Nobunaga.
Japanese: その後、永禄3年（1560年）、出仕停止を受けていたのにも関わらず、信長に無断で桶狭間の戦いに参加して朝の合戦で首一つ、本戦で二つの計三つの首を挙げる功を立てるも、帰参は許されなかった。
English: In this battle he made a great achievement of killing a tough hero named Rokubei ADACHI, who had another name "Kubitori Adachi" (head-severing Adachi), a retainer of Shimotsuke no kami (the governor of Shimotsuke Province) HIBINO who was a chief vassal of the Saito clan.
Japanese: ここで斎藤家重臣・日比野下野守の家来で、「頸取足立」の異名を持つ足立六兵衛なる豪傑を討ち取る功績を挙げた。
English: When he brought these two severed heads and advanced to the front of Nobunaga, his distinguished war services were recognized this time, and he was allowed to return to the service with chigyo of 300 kan (or 450 kanmom by another opinion) increased by Nobunaga ("Shinchoko-ki" [Biography of Nobunaga ODA]).
Japanese: 2つの首級を持参して信長の面前に出ると、今回は戦功が認められ、信長から300貫（一説に450貫文）の加増を受けて、ようやく帰参を許された（『信長公記』）。
English: While Toshiie was a ronin, his father Toshimasa died, and his oldest brother Toshihisa had succeeded to the reigns of the Maeda clan.
Japanese: 利家の浪人中に父・利昌は死去し、前田氏の家督は長兄・利久が継いでいた。
English: However, suddenly in 1569, he was ordered by Nobunaga to succeed to the reigns of the Maeda clan in place of his oldest brother.
Japanese: しかし永禄12年（1569年）に信長から突如、兄に代わって前田家の家督を継ぐように命じられる。
English: It is said that the reason was that Toshihisa had no child of his own, and that because he had a sickly constitution, he was in the situation that "it is rather a long time since he served as a musha (warrior) last" (Memoranda of Shigeyori MURAI).
Japanese: 理由は利久に実子がなく、病弱のため「武者道少御無沙汰」の状態にあったからだという（村井重頼覚書）。
English: In June, 1570, in the Battle of Kanagasaki against the Asai clan and the Asakura clan, he took charge of guarding Nobunaga who withdrew from the battlefield, and in the Battle of Anegawa in August, he made a great achievement of killing an enemy named Sukeshichiro ASAI.
Japanese: 元亀元年（1570年）4月には浅井氏・朝倉氏との金ヶ崎の戦いでは撤退する信長の警護を担当し、6月の姉川の戦いでは浅井助七郎なる者を討ち取る功績を上げる。
English: In October of the same year, in the Battle of the Kasugai-zutsumi which broke out between Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple and the Oda clan, while most warriors of his side were retreating from the Kasugai-zutsumi Bank, only Toshiie remained there and made a great achievement of killing the enemies.
Japanese: 同年、9月には石山本願寺との間に起こった春日井堤の戦いで春日井堤を退却する味方の中でひとり踏みとどまって敵を倒す功績を上げる。
English: In the cases of battles like the Battle of Ichijodani-jo Castle in October of 1573, Nagashima Ikko Ikki (an uprising of Ikko sect followers in Nagashima) in August of 1574, and the Battle of Nagashino in June of 1575, it has been verified that Toshiie took part in these wars as a teppo bugyo (commander of the firearms troop) along with Narimasa SASSA, Masanari NONOMURA, HIdekatsu FUKUTOMI, Naomasa BAN and others.
Japanese: 天正元年（1573年）9月の一乗谷城の戦い、天正2年（1574年）7月の長島一向一揆、天正3年（1575年）5月の長篠の戦いなどでは佐々成政、野々村正成、福富秀勝、塙直政らと共に鉄砲奉行としての参戦が確認されている。
English: But it is thought that these days, because Toshiie served as a Horo-shu or Umamawari (general's mounted guard) whose main role was a guard of Nobunaga and liaison officer, there were no opportunities to make the greater military exploits than those of one fighting samurai.
Japanese: しかし、この頃の利家は、信長の警護、連絡将校としての役割が主な母呂衆、馬廻りという役柄から、いち武辺者としての武功以上の功を立てる機会が無かったであろうと考えられている。
English: In 1574, Toshiie was ordered to serve as a yoriki of Katsuie SHIBATA, and he was engaged in suppressing the Ikko Ikki (an uprising of Ikko sect followers) in Echizen Province.
Japanese: 天正2年（1574年）には柴田勝家の与力となり、越前国の一向一揆の鎮圧に従事した。
English: How severely he oppressed the Ikko Ikki on this occasion has been handed down by some records such as the inscription on the stone wall of Echizen Komaru-jo Castle, which says, "Mr. Matazaemon MAEDA punished some 1,000 followers of Ikko sect whom he had captured by crucifying or boiling (it is thought that this inscription was written by laborer who survived the Ikko Ikki and participated in the construction of Komaru-jo Castle which was carried out soon after the Ikko Ikki.)
Japanese: この際の苛烈な一向一揆の弾圧については、越前小丸城の石垣に刻まれた「前田又左衛門どのが捕らえた一向宗千人ばかりをはりつけ、釜茹でに処した」などの記録などによって残る（この一揆から生き残り、まもなく行われた小丸城の普請に参加した人夫によるものと考えられている）。
English: In the next year, Echizen Ikko Ikki was suppressed, when Toshiie, Narimasa SASSA, and Mitsuharu FUWA were given the territory of 100,000 koku in Fuchu (central city of the province where the local government was placed) (this meant that they should share the territory, but not that each of them was given 33,000 koku respectively), and they came to be called "Fuchu Sanninshu" (three important persons in Fuchu).
Japanese: 翌年には越前一向一揆は平定されたが、この際に佐々成政、不破光治とともに府中10万石を与えられ（三人相知で、3万3千石が個別に与えられたわけではない）、「府中三人衆」と呼ばれるようになる。
English: After the suppression of Echizen, he was engaged in suppressing the Hokuriku region by fighting against the troops of the Uesugi clan with Narimasa and others as a yoriki of Katsuie, but because he also took part in the attack on Settsu Arioka-jo Castle (the Battle of Arioka-jo Castle) and the attack on Harima Miki-jo Castle (the Battle of Miki), it can be supposed that he continued to have a role like a direct retainer of Nobunaga.
Japanese: 越前平定後は、勝家与力として成政らと共に上杉軍と戦うなど北陸地方の平定に従事するが、信長の命により摂津有岡城攻め（有岡城の戦い）、播磨三木城攻め（三木合戦）にも参加しており、信長の直参的役割は続いていたものと思われる。
English: Some people have an opinion that, in 1580, he supported the troops of Hideyoshi in the attack on Tottori-jo Castle.
Japanese: 天正8年（1580年）には秀吉軍の鳥取攻めを援助していたという説もある。
English: In 1581, Toshiie was appointed as the lord of Noto Nanao-jo Castle (Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture), and he became a daimyo who owned the territory of 230,000 koku in Noto.
Japanese: 天正9年（1581年）に能登七尾城（石川県七尾市）主となり、能登23万石を領有する大名となった。
English: Nanao-jo Castle was impregnable but far from the seaport towns, so he gave it up and surveyed a small mountain from which he could overlook the port and constructed Komaruyama-jo Castle (Nanao City) there.
Japanese: 翌年難攻不落ながら港湾部の町から離れた七尾城を廃城、港を臨む小山を縄張りして小丸山城（七尾市）を築城した。
English: In July, 1582, when Nobunaga was killed by his vassal Mitsuhide AKECHI in the Honnoji Incident, Toshiie was fighting under the command of Katsuie SHIBATA to capture Ecchu Uozu-jo Castle which the troops of Kagekatsu UESUGI held, so he could not take part in the attack against Mitsuhide by Hideyoshi.
Japanese: 天正10年（1582年）6月の本能寺の変で信長が家臣の明智光秀により討たれた時、利家は柴田勝家に従い、上杉景勝軍の籠る越中魚津城を攻略中であり、秀吉の光秀攻撃に加わることができなかった。
English: On the 26th of the same month, soon after Mitsuhide's death, when Hideyoshi HASHIBA (Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI) was opposed to Katsuie SHIBATA in Kiyosu Kaigi (the meeting at Kiyosu) for deciding the affairs like the succeeding personnel of the Oda family, Toshiie took sides with Katsuie because he had been Katsuie's yoriki.
Japanese: 光秀の死亡後まもない同月27日に織田家の後継人事等を決定する清洲会議において羽柴秀吉（豊臣秀吉）と柴田勝家が対立すると、利家は勝家の与力であったことからそのまま勝家に与する。
English: In December of the same year, according to the order of Katsuie, he went to Yamashiro Hoshakuji-jo Castle (Oyamazaki-machi, Kyoto Prefecture) with Nagachika KANAMORI and Katsumitsu FUWA, and negotiated about a temporary peace with Hideyoshi who stayed there (however, this was an expedient means of Katsuie whose home ground was Hokuriku which was snowed up in winter.)
Japanese: 同年11月には勝家の命を受け、金森長近・不破勝光とともに山城宝積寺城（京都府大山崎町）にあった秀吉を相手に一時的な和議の交渉を行った（ただしこれは雪に閉ざされた北陸を本拠地としていた勝家の方便である）。
English: And in the Battle of Shizugatake in June of the next year, 1583, although Toshiie was in command of about 5,000 men and deployed them as the troops of Shibata, when the battle reached a climax, his troops retreated suddenly, and this determined the victory of the troops of Hashiba.
Japanese: そして翌天正11年（1583年）4月の賤ヶ岳の戦いでは、利家は5,000ほどを率いて柴田軍として布陣したが、合戦のたけなわで突然撤退し、羽柴軍の勝利を決定づけた。
English: Toshiie then held Echizen Fuchu-jo Castle, and there remained an anecdote that Katsuie who had been defeated and was running away to Kitanosho-jo Castle dropped in on him to thank him for his laborious services until then and to ask for a bowl of yuzuke (hot water on cold rice) ("Shizugatake Kassen-ki" [the records of the Battle of Shizugatake]).
Japanese: 利家はその後越前・府中城（武生市）に籠るが、敗北して北ノ庄城へ逃れる途中の勝家が立ち寄ってこれまでの労をねぎらい、湯漬けを所望したという逸話が残る（『賤岳合戦記』）。
English: After that, when Hidemasa HORI came into Fuchu-jo Castle as an envoy, Toshiie followed his advice to surrender, and became the vanguard of the attack on Katsuie SHIBATA who held Fukui-jo Castle (Fukui City).
Japanese: その後府中城に使者として入った堀秀政の勧告に従って利家は降伏し、福井城（福井市）に籠もった柴田勝家攻めの先鋒となった。
English: After the war, he was not only permitted to maintain his main territory, but also had two counties added in Kaga Province which was the former territory of Morimasa SAKUMA, and he moved to Oyama-jo Castle (later Kanazawa-jo Castle).
Japanese: 戦後本領を安堵されるとともに佐久間盛政の旧領・加賀国のうち二郡を加増され、尾山城（のちの金沢城）に移った。
English: In 1584, when Hideyoshi conflicted with Ieyasu TOKUGAWA and Nobukatsu ODA in the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute, Narimasa SASSA invaded Noto Province in cooperation with Ieyasu TOKUGAWA and others, but Toshiie defeated and routed Narimasa at Suemori-jo Castle (the Battle of Suemori).
Japanese: 天正12年（1584年）の秀吉と徳川家康・織田信雄が衝突した小牧・長久手の戦いでは、佐々成政が徳川家康らに呼応して能登に侵攻したが、末森城で成政を撃破した（末森の戦い）。
English: In the Battle of Nagakute the Hideyoshi side suffered a bitter defeat on May 18, but from that time on too, the both sides continued to face each other and the front line had come to a deadlock.
Japanese: 4月9日に長久手の戦いでは秀吉方は苦い敗北を喫したが、その後も両軍の対陣が続いて戦線は膠着状態となった。
English: After Toshiie won the Battle of Suemori, he then captured the Arayama and Katsuyama forts, and invaded Ecchu Province too to attack (Documents of the Okumura clan).
Japanese: 末森の戦いに勝った利家は、続いて荒山・勝山砦を攻略、越中へも攻め込んだ（奥村氏文書）。
English: On October 22, Toshiie had his victories in a series of battles celebrated by Hideyoshi (Documents of Maeda Ikutokukai, Onkosokucho).
Japanese: 9月19日、利家は秀吉より一連の戦いの勝利を賀されている（前田育徳会文書・温故足徴）。
English: The war against Narimasa was held over till next year, and during that period, Toshiie contacted Kagekatsu UESUGI and had him advance to the border with Ecchu Province, and tried to tempt Takekatsu KIKUCHI, a local samurai of Ecchu Province who had become a busho of Narimasa, to take sides with Hideyoshi.
Japanese: 成政との戦いは、翌年まで持ち越され、その間利家は、上杉景勝と連絡をとって越中境に進出させたり、成政の部将となっている越中国衆菊池武勝に誘いの手を伸ばしたりしている。
English: In September, when Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI invaded Ecchu Province taking a large force of 100,000 men with Toshiie working as a leading guide there, Narimasa surrendered, so that Toshiie's legitimate child Toshinaga MAEDA had three counties of Tonami, Imizu and Nei added in Ecchu Province, with the result that they became a great daimyo who owned three provinces governed by a father and a son.
Japanese: 8月、利家が越中への先導の役を果たし豊臣秀吉が10万の大軍を率いて攻め込むと成政は降伏し、嫡子前田利長に越中国のうち砺波・射水・婦負の3郡を加増され、父子で三ヶ国を領する大大名となる。
English: Because the lord of Echizen Province Nagahide NIWA had already died in May of the same year, Toshiie was promoted to a post that could be regarded as Soshoku (Governor General) in the Hokuriku-do region under the Toyotomi government, and was appointed as a role that should keep in contact with the Uesugi clan in Echigo Province, the Hojo clan in Kanto, and the territorial lords in Tohoku.

English: About that time Hideyoshi began to use Toyotomi cognomen to call himself, and at the same time he made Toshiie call himself "Chikuzen no kami (governor of Chikuzen Province) HASHIBA" which was his former name, and what is more, he petitioned the imperial court to make Toshiie appointed as Sakone gon no shosho (Provisional Minor Captain of the Left Division of Inner Palace Guards) (the genealogical table of the Maeda family).
