English: In June 1465, the family of bakufu-hoko-shu (servants for bakufu) in the south of Nukata-gun, Mikawa Province and hikan (bureaucrats in lower class) of the Ashikaga clan rose in revolt and built their fortress in a key position of Tokai-do Road, Iguchi (Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture).
Japanese: 寛正6年（1465年）5月、三河国額田郡南部の幕府奉公衆の一族及び足利氏下級被官層が蜂起し、東海道の要所井口（愛知県岡崎市）に砦を構えた。
English: They plundered tribute rice being carried to Kyoto pretending that they had a command from Kamakura kubo (Governor-general of the Kanto region) (uprising in Nukata-gun).
Japanese: そして、鎌倉公方の下知と称して京都に運ばれる年貢などを掠奪する事件が起こる（額田郡一揆）。
English: In the end, the army of Nobumitsu MATSUDAIRA and Munemitsu TODA, hikan (bureaucrats) for Sadachika ISE, a steward of the Bakufu Mandokoro defeated the ringleaders of the uprising and conquered it.
Japanese: 最終的に一揆の首謀者らは幕府政所執事伊勢貞親の被官である松平信光・戸田宗光の軍によって討たれ、一揆は平定された。
English: However, Yoshifuji's grandfather, Mochinaga KIRA ran away after Yuki War, because there was a rumor that he was close to Mochiuji ASHIKAGA, Kamakura Kubo, which showed that the latter Tojokira clan traditionally sided with the Kamakura Government (a regional government installed in Kamakura by the Ashikaga Shogunate but the relationship between the Ashikaga Shogunate and this regional government deteriorated later).
Japanese: しかし、後期東条吉良氏（下吉良）は義藤の祖父吉良持長が鎌倉公方足利持氏との関係を噂され結城合戦後に出奔したことからもわかるように、伝統的に親鎌倉府の立場を採っていた。
English: There was a possibility that Yoshifuji helped the uprising because Shigeuji ASHIKAGA, Koga kubo, a branch family of the Ashikaga clan that was in charge of the Kamakura Government, might have asked Yoshifuji to help the uprising.
Japanese: 古河公方足利成氏からの働きかけで義藤が一揆蜂起の支援をした可能性は無いとは言えない。
English: When Tomiko HINO, wife of the Shogun Yoshimasa ASHIKAGA gave birth to Yoshihisa ASHIKAGA in December 20, 1465, Yoshifuji visited the Shogun's place and presented one sword with a congratulatory address.
Japanese: 同年12月20日、将軍足利義政の妻日野富子が足利義尚を出産すると、義藤は将軍御所へ参上し、御祝い言上と太刀一振りを進上した。
English: In addition, the next day, he visited the residence of Sadachika ISE with Yoshizane KIRA, the head of the Saijokira clan and expressed his gratitude for his acting as a middleman to Shogun ("Chikamoto Nikki" [Chikamoto's diary]).
Japanese: 更に翌日、西条吉良氏（上吉良）の当主吉良義真と揃って伊勢貞親邸を訪れ、将軍への取次ぎの礼を述べている（『親元日記』）。
English: In February, 1467, when Onin War broke out, Yoshifuji sided with the West Camp headed by his father-in-law, Sozen YAMANA.
Japanese: 応仁元年（1467年）正月、応仁の乱が始まると、義藤は義理の父である山名宗全の率いる西軍に味方した。
English: It was likely that he got a head start and went to Mikawa Province ahead of Yoshizane KIRA who sided with the East Camp and then, started to attack on the territory of the Saijokira clan.
Japanese: 東軍に味方した吉良義真に先んじて三河へ下向、西条吉良氏の領地へ攻撃を開始したらしい。
English: On June 28, 1467, Yoshizane started to go down south to Mikawa Province slightly later than Yoshifuji ("Daijoin jisha zojiki" [Miscellaneous Records of the Daijo Temple and Shrine]).
Japanese: 義真はやや遅れて同年5月18日に三河へ下向する（『大乗院寺社雑事記』）。
English: Only "Mikawa gunki" (military records of Mikawa Province compiled in 1853) reports on the battle, but the book is not reliable having many inaccurate descriptions in it.
Japanese: 僅かに『三河軍記』（嘉永6年（1853年）成立）がその模様を伝えるが、内容は誤謬が多く信頼できない。
English: It was likely that Yoshizane KIRA, the Saijokira clan, stayed in Mikawa Province until around 1479, and then around September in the same year he went to Kyoto.
Japanese: 西条吉良氏の吉良義真は文明(日本)11年（1479年）頃まで三河に留まり、同年9月頃上洛したらしい。
English: That was probably because Yoshinao ISSHIKI who belonged to the West Camp, where the Tojokira clan also belonged, was prevailing in the Mikawa Province (in 1478, Yoshinao ISSHIKI finally issued the document that expressed he abandoned Mikawa Province and retreated).
Japanese: 東条吉良氏と同じ西軍に属する一色義直軍が三河で優勢であったためと思われる（一色義直は文明10年（1478年）に至りようやく三河を放棄する旨、文書で表明し軍を撤収した）。
English: As for Yoshifuji's last moments, "Nishio choshi" (the history of Nishio cho) said that he attacked on the territory of the Saijokira clan, but he sustained counterattacks by Yoshizane and was defeated, and then ran away to the Kyoto-Osaka area and vanished.
Japanese: 義藤の最期について、『西尾町史』は西条吉良氏の領地に攻め込んだが、義真に迎撃され敗軍となり、上方へ逃走し消息不明となったとする。
English: On the other hand, "Mikawa gunki" mentioned that he became reconciled with the Saijokira clan and later in life, he had a child (Mochikiyo) and soon, he died.
Japanese: 一方『三河軍記』は西条吉良氏と和睦し、晩年になって一子（持清）を授かり、程なくして病死。
English: There is no record in any historical materials in that period that a big battle broke out and Yoshifuji had to run away.
Japanese: 義藤が逃亡せねばならないような大きな戦いがあったという記録は同時代史料には全く見当たらない。
English: If Yoshifuji had suffered a rout, there must have been traces of the battle in Tojo-jo Castle which must have been attacked.
Japanese: もし、義藤が敗走したなら、当然攻め込まれたであろう東条城の跡からも合戦の痕跡は見つかっていない。
English: It can be said that although there were several battles, there was no battle that was large enough that the head of the clan had to run away and following the reconciliation of the East camp and the West camp in Kyoto (1477), Yoshifuji of the Tojokira clan and Yoshizane of the Saijokira clan also reconciled.
Japanese: 幾度か合戦にはなったものの、当主が他国へ逃走せねばならないような規模とはならず、京都の東西両軍の和睦（文明9年（1477年））を受けて東西両吉良氏も和睦をしたのではないか。
English: The part of the story indicating that the Matsudaira clan acted as a guardian for little Mochikiyo was not reliable, but in broad outline, his life may end as the story of "Mikawa gunki" suggested.
Japanese: 松平氏の後見の部分は信用できないが、大筋において『三河軍記』のような結末に至ったと思われる。

Japanese: その形式は太子を中に置いて左右には2人の王子（伝えられるところによれば、右側が山背大兄王、左側が殖栗王）を少し小さく配置した構成。
English: This layout is also thought to be a construct of Sansonbutsu (three Buddhist deities) affected by Buddhism, or often interpreted as a construct originated from a composition technique of the time, which is found in "歴代帝王島圏 the Rekidai Teio Zumaki" (The Thirteen Emperors Scroll) of Yan Liben (a Chinese painter and government official of the early Tang Dynasty).
Japanese: この配置は、仏教の影響を受けた三尊仏的構成とも考えられ、あるいは閻立本の絵に伝わる『歴代帝王島圏歴代帝王図巻』に見られる、その頃の構図法に起因したものと解釈されることがある。
English: Theories abound about when this image--currently the subject of considerable debate in Japan's academic world--was made; most such theories judge from the clothes worn by the Prince and his attendants to assert either that it is a work dating from the late Hakuho period (645-710 C.E.) or that it is a Kamakura period copy.
Japanese: 現在日本学界でも論議が多いこの像は、製作時期においても太子及び脇侍王子の服飾から見て、後の白鳳時代の作品だと見る説と、鎌倉時代の模本と見る説が概して多い。
English: It is quite possible that Prince Asa did make a portrait of Prince Shotoku, considering the active cultural exchange between Baekje and Japan at that time, during the Three Kingdoms period (of Korean history); however, the matter is still in doubt, due to stylistic problems with such an attribution and the fact that historical records in the Republic of Korea do not mention Prince Asa.
Japanese: このように現在伝えられる聖徳太子像は、様式上の問題点と同時に、阿佐太子に対する記録が大韓民国側資料にはないという事実によって、未解決の課題だが、三国時代(朝鮮半島)当時の百済と日本との活発な交流を考慮すれば、その可能性は充分に認められる。

English: When these four shogun's retainers took a rest in the golden chamber of the castle, Kuranosuke OISHI served them tea and sweets, and asked them to support restoration of the Asano family by Nagahiro ASANO, younger brother of Asano Takumi no kami, but they did not reply and left for Daishoin (large study) quickly.
Japanese: 大石内蔵助はこの幕臣四名が金の間で休息中、お茶と菓子を勧め、浅野内匠頭の弟浅野長広をもっての浅野家再興を願い出たが、4人は何も答えてくれず、その場をさっさと立って大書院の方へ行ってしまった。
English: Kuranosuke asked them the same thing when they were inspecting Daishoin, but they neglected him again.
Japanese: 内蔵助は大書院検分中の4人にもう一度同じことを願い出たが、また声をかけてもらえなかった。
English: When they were just about to leave, having finished inspection, Kuranosuke offered them tea again to keep them, and mentioned restoration of the Asano family for the third time.
Japanese: 検分が終わり帰ろうとする4人を、内蔵助は玄関にて再びお茶を出して引き止め、3度浅野家再興を願い出た。
English: At last, his desperate attitude disposed Ishihara to say to Araki, 'His request is understandable. I think there is no problem if we tell bakufu about this after we return to Edo.'
Japanese: ついにここで大石の必死さを見かねた石原が荒木に対して「内蔵助の言い分は仕方のないものでしょう。江戸へ帰還ののち取りなしても問題はないと思いますが。｣と言ってくれた。
English: Araki replied, 'That makes a lot of sense. I also understand what he said. So I'd like to ask roju (higher-ranking members of the cabinet of the Tokugawa Shogunate) to consider his request. What do you think, Uneme?' and Sakakibara answered, 'I agree with you,' and therefore Araki said to Kuranosuke, 'Then I will tell your wish to roju as soon as we get to Edo,' to which Kuranosuke responded, 'I thank you very much.'
Japanese: 荒木も｢なるほど。確かに内蔵助の言い分も最もです。ご老中に取り次ごうと思いますが、采女殿はどう思いますか？」といい、榊原も「それでいいと思います」と答えたので、荒木は、内蔵助に「では、江戸へ帰り次第、その申し分を取り次ごう」と言ってくれ、内蔵助は「かたじけなく存じます」とお礼を述べたという流れである。
English: Araki returned to Edo no later than July 6, and reported the inspection to Shogun Tsunayoshi TOKUGAWA, roju and wakadoshiyori (lower-ranking members of the cabinet), and also he told them about Oishi's desire to restore the Asano family, but nevertheless, Nagahiro ASANO ended up being left to his head family Hiroshima clan, and this is how Kuranosuke OISHI's activity for the restoration of the Asano family was failed.
Japanese: 6月1日までに江戸に戻った荒木は、将軍徳川綱吉や老中若年寄らに収城の報告をおこない、大石から浅野家再興の嘆願に希望があったことも伝えたものの、結局、浅野長広は本家広島藩へお預けとなり、大石内蔵助の浅野家再興運動は挫折した。
English: After that, Ako roshi (lordless samurai of Ako Domain) raided Kira-tei Residence and avenged their lord's death on Yoshinaka KIRA.
Japanese: その後、赤穂浪士たちは吉良邸へ討ち入り、亡君の仇吉良義央を討ち取った。
