English: Hakuseki ARAI commented that Akifusa was "tireless in his efforts," and "possessed exceptionally beautiful traits of character, such that he would surely find no shame in being judged alongside the sages of old."
Japanese: 新井白石は「身の暇がなく」、「きわめて生質の美なるところありて、おおかた古の君子の人にも恥じまじき」と詮房を評した。
English: Moreover, Hakuseki's sense of pessimism regarding politics grew a great deal after Ienobu's death, and Akifusa is said to have exerted a supreme effort to encourage Hakuseki to continue putting his talents to use in politics.
Japanese: また、白石は家宣の死後に政治に対して消極的になることも多かったが、そのような白石を励まして能力を引き出すことに尽力したという。
English: One anecdote about Akifusa recounts that after Ienobu's death he frequently visited the Ooku (the quarters of the Shogun's consorts) to secretly meet with Gekkoin (one of Ienobu's consorts), while another mentions that when Ietsugu TOKUGAWA saw how relaxed and at ease Akifusa was when with Gekkoin, he reportedly said to his wetnurse, "He acts as though he himself is Shogun."
Japanese: 家宣死後、大奥へ頻繁に出入りし月光院と密会を重ねていたとか、大奥で月光院と一緒にいるときの詮房のくつろいだ様子から、徳川家継が「詮房はまるで将軍のようだ」と乳母に言ったなどという逸話がある。
English: Others argue, based on the similarity between Akifusa's original family name, Manabe, and Ietsugu's childhood name of Nabematsu, that Ietsugu may well have been Akifusa's own child.
Japanese: また詮房の旧姓が間鍋であることと家継の幼名鍋松から、家継は詮房の子でないかなどともいわれる。
English: 1684: Akifusa was appointed a page of Kofu Domain (whose lord was Ienobu TOKUGAWA) and given an annual income of 150 sacks of rice, enough for ten people.
Japanese: 1684年（貞享元年）-甲斐国甲府藩（藩主徳川家宣）小姓切米150俵10人扶持
English: June 19, 1710: He was transferred to the Takasaki Domain in Kozuke Province with an annual income of 50,000 koku.

English: Kasuga no Tsubone (1579 - October 26, 1643), a woman who lived during the Azuchi-Momoyama period and into early Edo period, who the wet nurse of Iemitsu TOKUGAWA, the third Shogun of the Edo shogunate.
Japanese: 春日局（かすがのつぼね、天正7年（1579年）-寛永20年9月14日(旧暦)（1643年10月26日））は、安土桃山時代から江戸時代前期の女性で、江戸幕府3代征夷大将軍・徳川家光の乳母。
English: Her father, Toshimitsu SAITO, was a member of the prestigious Saito clan (who held the position of deputy military governor of Mino Province) and was a key vassal of Mitsuhide AKECHI, and indeed was referred to as Mitsuhide's nephew (but was actually his cousin); her mother, An INABA was the daughter of Yoshimichi INABA.
Japanese: 父は美濃国の名族斎藤氏（美濃国守護代）の一族で明智光秀の重臣であり甥（実際には従弟）とも言われる斎藤利三で、母は稲葉良通の娘・稲葉あん。
English: She is counted alongside Nobutsuna MATSUDAIRA and Muneyori YAGYU as one of the Three Tripod Legs, who supported and propped up Iemitsu.
Japanese: 松平信綱、柳生宗矩とともに家光を支えた「鼎の脚」の一人に数えられた。
English: She was born at Shimokata in Kuroi-jo Castle (Kozen-ji Temple in the city of Tanba) of Tanba province (comprising modern-day Hyogo and Kyoto Prefectures), which is where her father's territory was then located.
Japanese: 春日局は、その当時父の所領のあった丹波国（現・兵庫県および京都府）の黒井城下館（興禅寺(丹波市)）で生まれる。
English: Tanba Province was under the overlordship of Mitsuhide AKECHI, and so Toshimitsu SAITO, as his vassal, was enfeoffed on that territory by Mitsuhide.
Japanese: 丹波国は明智光秀の所領であり斎藤利三は家臣として丹波国内に光秀から領地を与えられていた。
English: Later, her father Toshimitsu SAITO followed his overlord Mitsuhide in the strike against Nobunaga ODA in the Honnoji Incident, but they were defeated by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI in the Battle of Yamazaki, and Toshimitsu retreated back to his castle; later he was caught at Katata in Omi province, near Sakamoto-jo Castle, and was executed.
Japanese: その後父・斎藤利三は主君の光秀に従い、ともに本能寺の変で織田信長を討つが、豊臣秀吉に山崎の合戦で敗戦し帰城後に坂本城下の近江国堅田で捕らえられて処刑された。
English: Because Fuku was a woman she could not be driven away by the enemy, so she was raised by her maternal relative, the aristocrat Kinkuni SANJONISHI.
Japanese: 福は女であることから追われることはなく、母方の親戚に当たる三条西公国に養育された。
English: As a result of her aristocratic upbringing, she learned those arts considered essential to court nobles, including the arts of calligraphy, waka poetry, and incense mixing.
Japanese: これによって、公家の素養である書道・歌道・香道等の教養を身につけることができた。
English: She was later adopted by her uncle, Shigemichi INABA, and became the second wife of one of Ittetsu INABA's relatives, namely Masanari INABA, a member of the Inaba clan and a vassal of Hideaki KOBAYAKAWA.
Japanese: その後、伯父稲葉重通の養女となり、稲葉一鉄の縁者で小早川秀秋の家臣である稲葉正成の後妻となる。
English: Masanari INABA had rendered distinguished service in persuading his overlord Hideaki to have his Kobayakawa army change sides and join the Eastern army, and thus helped lead the Tokugawa family to victory.
Japanese: 稲葉正成は、関ヶ原の戦いにおいて、主君・秀秋を説得して小早川軍を東軍に寝返らせ、徳川家を勝利に導いた功労者である。
English: Thereafter, she took the step of divorcing her husband Masanari in order to become a wet nurse to the shogunal family, and in 1604 she was formally appointed as the wet nurse to Takechiyo (the childhood name of Iemitsu), the legitimate son and heir of the second shogun, Hidetada TOKUGAWA.
Japanese: のちに、将軍家の乳母となるために夫の正成と離婚する形をとり、慶長9年（1604年）に2代将軍徳川秀忠の嫡子・竹千代（家光）の乳母に正式に任命される。
English: It is said that Fuku's excellent pedigree, her refined, aristocratic upbringing, and her ex-husband Masanari's military exploits were all positive factors in her selection as wet nurse.
Japanese: 選考にあたり、福の家柄および公家の教養と、夫正成の戦功が評価されたといわれている。
English: According to the "Kasuga no Tsubone Ryakufu" (literally, The Abridged History of Kasuga no Tsubone), which was completed in 1686 after the death of Iemitsu, Tsubone remonstrated with Takachiyo (Iemitsu)--who had tried to commit suicide out of anguish that his parents, Hidetada and his wife, were overly fond of Takechiyo's biological younger brother, Kunimatsu (whose adult name was Tadanaga TOKUGAWA), and in 1615 she appealed directly to the 'Ogosho' (leading or influential figure) Ieyasu TOKUGAWA, who was living in retirement in Sunpu (what is today the city of Shizuoka), asking him to confirm that the Shogunal succession would pass to Takechiyo.
Japanese: 家光死後の貞享3年（1686年）に成立した『春日局略譜』によれば、秀忠夫妻が竹千代の実弟・国松（徳川忠長）を溺愛している様子を憂慮し、自害しようとした家光を諌め、元和元年、駿府にいた大御所の徳川家康に竹千代の世継を確定させるように直訴したとされる。
English: One theory holds that Tsubone's direct petition to Ieyasu was rejected, and it was only after Ieyasu visited Edo-jo Castle and saw the way Eyo (the brothers' mother) was doting upon the younger brother that he reconsidered.
Japanese: この直訴はその時は失敗し、後に家康が江戸城を訪れたときにその江与の溺愛ぶりを見て考え直した、という説もある。
English: On the other hand, she was appointed to the position of Overseer of the O-oku, which gave her the right to decide all official business related to the O-oku, and as such her de facto power, backed by the Shogun's authority, exceeded that of the Shogun's Roju (Council of Elders).
Japanese: 一方でまた、大奥大奥総取締という呼称についてに任ぜられて、奥向きの公務を取り仕切るようになり、将軍の権威を背景に老中をも上回る実質的な権力を握る。
English: In 1629, when Iemitsu was stricken with smallpox, she visited Ise Jingu Shrine to pray that he would be cured, and in the tenth month of that year she went to Kyoto on her way back and tried to arrange an audience at court.
Japanese: 寛永6年（1629年）には、家光の天然痘治癒祈願のため伊勢神宮に参拝し、そのまま10月には上洛して御所への昇殿を図る。
English: But with her pedigree as a daughter of the Saito clan, a warrior house, Kasuga no Tsubone was not qualified to enter the imperial court, so she tried to arrange to be adopted by Kinkuni SANJONISHI, who was both her blood relative (Tsubone was the great-great-grandchild of Kineda SANJONISHI) and had raised her when she was younger.
Japanese: しかし武家である齋藤家の娘の身分のままでは御所に昇殿するための資格を欠くため、血族であり（春日局は三条西公条の玄孫になる）、また育ての親でもある三条西公国の養女になろうとした。
English: Kinkuni had already died, however, so she had no choice but to become a sister of Kinkuni's son Saneeda SANJONISHI instead; with this she was now qualified, as a full member of the aristocratic Sanjonishi family, to visit the palace, and succeeded in having an audience with Emperor Gomizunoo and with the Chugu (the second consort of an emperor) Kazuko TOKUGAWA, and was subsequently awarded the name 'Kasuga no Tsubone' and given the Junior Third Rank at court, and moreover was honored with tempai (sake given by the Emperor).
Japanese: が、既に他界していたため、やむをえずその息子三条西実条と猷妹の縁組をし、公卿三条西家の娘として参内する資格を得、後水尾天皇や中宮徳川和子に拝謁、また従三位の位と「春日局」の称号、および天杯をも賜る。
English: After the death of Sugen-in (another name for Iemitsu's mother Eyo), Kasuga no Tsubone exerted herself to the utmost to find consorts for him, convincing a succession of women including Eikoin, the abbess of Keiko-in Temple in Ise Province, as well as Hojuin and Junshoin, to enter the O-oku.
Japanese: 崇源院の死後は家光の側室探しに尽力し、伊勢国慶光院の院主であった永光院や、宝樹院、順性院などの女性たちを次々と奥入りさせた。
English: One tradition about her selection as wet nurse to the Tokugawa family holds that the governor-general of Kyoto, Katsushige ITAKURA, posted a general public advertisement about the open position, and it was in response to this that she was selected.
Japanese: 徳川将軍家の乳母に登用された経緯には、京都所司代板倉勝重が一般公募した話などが伝えられる。
English: It is also said that she became a wet nurse through the mediation of Minbukyo no Tsubone (a court lady who waited on the Minister of Popular Affairs) who served Eyo, the legal wife of Hidetada.
Japanese: あるいは、秀忠の正室お江与の侍女である民部卿局の仲介で乳母となったともされる。
English: A different theory argues that she must have been one of Ieyasu's favorite concubines, or it would be inconceivable that she, a mere wet nurse, could have petitioned him directly about the Shogunal succession.
Japanese: 乳母に過ぎない身分の者が将軍世継ぎ問題で家康に直訴したとしても、通常家康が会うとは考えにくいので、お福がかつて愛妾の一人であったとする説もある。
English: In recent years, a new theory has arisen that Kasuga no Tsubone was actually the biological mother of Iemitsu; this viewpoint has since been expressed by a variety of groups, including by history programs on television.
Japanese: また近年、春日局が家光の生母という説があり、テレビの歴史番組などにも取り上げられている。
English: One theory argues that this custom was conceived by shogunal officials who had learned by bitter experience with Kasuga no Tsubone what can happen when the bond between the Shogun and his wet nurse becomes too strong, and thus was designed to prevent any future incidents of wet nurses using their close relationships with the Shogun to intervene in politics.
Japanese: これは春日局の権勢に懲りた幕閣が、将来の将軍と乳母のつながりが深くなり、後に政治に介入されるのを避けるために考案した風習という説がある。
English: One school of thought holds that after the Battle of Yamazaki, she had relied on Motochika CHOSOKABE, her uncle by marriage, for help, and had spent some time at Oko-jo Castle in Tosa province (modern-day Kochi Pref.).
Japanese: 山崎の戦いの後、義理の叔父である長宗我部元親を頼り、土佐国の岡豊城で過ごしたという説がある。
English: Saneeda SANJONISHI, who had created a plan by which Kasuga no Tsubone could visit the Imperial Palace, was appointed to the position of Buke tenso (the official in charge of communications between the shogunate and the Imperial Court) by the Court, and in the end rose to the position of Minister of the Right.
Japanese: 春日局が参内できるよう画策した三条西実条は、後に朝廷から武家伝奏に任じられ、最終的には右大臣になった。
English: Eikoin, whom Kasuga no Tsubone had fervently wanted to join the O-oku, was a daugher of the Rokujo family, a family of waka poets who were associated with the Sanjonishi family.
Japanese: 春日局が強く望んで大奥入りさせられた永光院は、三条西家の同僚の和歌の家である六条家の娘である。
English: In later years, Tsubone's younger brother was also welcomed by the shogunate as a member of an elite family, so he began referring to himself as a member of the Toda clan, with whom they had a connection.
Japanese: 後に彼女の弟も幕府から高家として迎えられ、その際、こちらも縁のあった武家名字「戸田氏」を名乗った。
English: She also endeavored to revive the fortunes of the Inaba family, even arranging for her ex-husband Masanari INABA, who had become a ronin (masterless samurai), to be adopted as a Karo (chief retainers) of Tadamasa MATSUDAIRA; subsequently, he was promoted to the status of daimyo (feudal lord).
Japanese: 離縁した稲葉家の再興にも尽力し、浪人していた元夫の稲葉正成は松平忠昌の家老として召し出され、のち大名に取り立てられた。
English: Many of Iemitsu's pageboys managed to rise in rank as far as the rank of Roju (member of the Shogun's council of elders), and among this group many were relatives of Kasuga no Tsubone.
Japanese: 家光の小姓から老中に出世した者は多いが、その中には春日局の縁者も多い。
English: When her niece Soshinni and her husband, Yukikazu MACHINO, became ronin as a result of the Kaieki (demotion) of his overlords, the GAMO clan, Kasuga no Tsubone employed Soshinni as her aide and arranged to have Soshinni's granddaughter (from a daughter who had married into another family) Jishoin enter the O-oku.
Japanese: 姪の祖心尼とその夫・町野幸和が蒲生氏改易に伴い浪人したさいには、祖心尼を自分の補佐として出仕させ、また祖心尼の外孫・自証院を大奥に入れた。
English: Nagatoshi NAWA (? - August 15, 1336) was a military commander during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts (Japan).
Japanese: 名和長年（なわながとし、生年不詳-延元元年/建武(日本)3年6月30日(旧暦)(ユリウス暦1336年8月7日)）は、日本の南北朝時代(日本)の武将である。
English: Nagatoshi NAWA was the head of the Nawa clan who ran a shipping business in Nawa, Hoki Province (Nawa, Daisen-cho, Saihaku District, Tottori Prefecture).
Japanese: 伯耆国名和（鳥取県西伯郡大山町名和）で海運業を営んでいた名和氏の当主。
English: Like the Akamatsu clan, the Nawa clan called themselves the descendants of Masakane of Murakami-Genji (Minamoto clan), but it is said that Nagatoshi was the largest shipping agent (adapted from "Zenso Nikki" (diary of the zen priest)), or that he was samurai called a scoundrel.
Japanese: 名和氏は赤松氏と同じく村上源氏雅兼流を自称しているが、長年は大海運業者だったとする説（『禅僧日記』より）、悪党と呼ばれた武士であったとする説がある。
English: Emperor Godaigo planned an anti-Shogunate movement to attack the Kamakura shogunate government, but the plan was disclosed and Emperor Godaigo was caught and subsequently exiled to Oki no shima Island in 1331 in the Genko War; when he escaped from the island in 1333, Nagatoshi welcomed Emperor Godaigo to Mt. Senjo (Kotoura-cho, Tohaku District, Tottori Prefecture) and joined the anti-Shogunate movement.
Japanese: 1331年（元弘元年）の元弘の変で鎌倉幕府の討幕計画が露見し捕縛されて隠岐島に流罪となっていた後醍醐天皇が、1333年（元弘3年/正慶2年）に島を脱出すると、これを船上山（鳥取県東伯郡琴浦町）に迎え、討幕運動に加わる。
English: After the destruction of the bakufu, Emperor Godaigo inaugurated the Kenmu Restoration, where Nagatoshi became a samurai retainer to serve the emperor together with Masashige KUSUNOKI, a local ruling family in Kawachi Province, and served as officers at the Land Record Office, the warrior's office, the office of rewards, and the court of pleas; he was awarded a family crest which featured a sailboat.
Japanese: 幕府滅亡後に後醍醐天皇により開始された建武の新政において、河内国の豪族楠木正成らとともに天皇近侍の武士となり、記録所や武者所、恩賞方や雑訴決断所などの役人を務め、帆掛け船の家紋を与えられる。

Japanese: また、討幕運動において京都の六波羅探題を滅ぼした足利尊氏と対立し、後醍醐とも確執があった護良親王を結城親光とともに捕縛する。
English: When Takauji ASHIKAGA deserted the Kenmu Government after suppressing the Nakasendai War in which Tokiyuki HOJO uprose in Shinano Province and temporarily occupied Kamakura, Nagatoshi battled against Takauji, supporting the court with Masashige KUSUNOKI and Yoshisada NITTA, but was defeated by Takauji who entered Kyoto after the Battle of Minatogawa in 1336, and was killed in the battlefield of Sanjo Inokuma.
Japanese: 足利尊氏が、信濃国で北条時行らが蜂起して鎌倉を一時占領した中先代の乱の討伐を契機に建武政権から離脱すると、楠木正成、新田義貞らと共に宮方として尊氏と戦うが、1336年（延元元年/建武3年）の湊川の戦いの後に京都に入った尊氏に敗れ、三条猪隈で討死する。
English: As Nagatoshi was the Governor of HOKI province, he was collectively called the 'Three trees and one plant' (three Ki and one Gusa) as one of four meritorious retainers Masashige KUSUNOKI, Chikamitsu YUKI, and Tadaaki CHIGUSA.

English: Based on the custom that a birth of twins brought bad luck at that time, Sadachika was not only recognized as Ieyasu's biological child but was regarded as being dead young.
Japanese: 当時は双子が生まれると不吉なことになるという風習を理由として、家康から実子として認められず、貞愛は夭折したことにされた。
English: Sadachika took up his abode with the Nagami clan, the home of his biological mother (Choshoin), and grew up there.

Japanese: 斎村政広（さいむらまさひろ、永禄5年（1562年）-慶長5年10月28日(旧暦)（1600年12月3日））は、安土桃山時代の武将。
English: In 1570 his father then followed by his older brother, Hirosada AKAMATSU, died young, so he succeeded to the family estate.
Japanese: 1570年に父、その後、兄赤松広貞も相次いで早逝したため家督を継承した。
English: The bloodline of the Akamatsu clan of the Masahiro's family line was the main lineage of the clan rather than that of the Yoshisuke AKAMATSU family, the head family.
Japanese: 政広の家系の赤松氏は、血統上は本家である赤松義祐の家系よりも、むしろ本流の赤松氏であった。
English: In the Chugoku Conquest by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI in obedience to Nobunaga ODA's orders, he fought against them at the early stage but later surrendered.
Japanese: 織田信長の命を受けた豊臣秀吉による中国征伐では、はじめ抵抗するも後に降伏。
English: Thereafter he achieved military exploits, joining the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute, and so on, and was awarded 22,000 koku of Takeda-jo Castle in the Tajima Province.
Japanese: その後、小牧・長久手の戦いなどに参戦して武功を挙げ、但馬国竹田城2万2000石を与えられた。
English: In 1600 he took the Western side in the Battle of Sekigahara and attacked Tanabe-jo Castle in the Tango Province which was the castle of Yusai HOSOKAWA (the Battle of Tanabe-jo Castle).
Japanese: 1600年、関ヶ原の戦いでは西軍に味方し、細川幽斎の居城である丹後国田辺城(丹後国)を攻めた（田辺城の戦い）。
English: However, when the Western side lost the Battle of Sekigahara, he went over to the Eastern side and attacked Tottori-jo Castle in the Inaba Province, the castle of Nagafusa MIYABE who sided with the Western side.
Japanese: しかし、関ヶ原で西軍が敗れると東軍に寝返って、西軍に与した宮部長房の居城・因幡国鳥取城を攻めた。
English: Later, however, this fire attack against the castle town came into question, and when the battle was over he was ordered to commit seppuku (suicide by disembowelment) by Ieyasu TOKUGAWA, for which he committed suicide with a sword in Shinkyo-ji Temple of Tottori.
Japanese: しかし、このときの城下焼き討ちが後に問題となり、戦後、徳川家康から切腹を命じられ、鳥取の真教寺で自刃した。
English: However, there has been a view that this fire attack was a plot of Korenori KAMEI who commanded the troops to attack Tottori-jo Castle and Kamei laid the blame on Masahiro alone who put the plot into practice.
Japanese: ただし、この焼き討ちは鳥取城攻めの指揮を執っていた亀井茲矩の策であり、実行した政広一人に罪を擦り付けたとする説がある。
English: By the way, the surname of Saimura comes from Sai-mura Village (才村) (or Sai-mura Village佐江村) where Masahiro was evacuated for a while after his father, Masahide, died.
Japanese: 因みに斎村姓は、父の政秀の死後、一時避難をしていた才村（又は佐江村）に由来する。
English: Keijun MIYABE (1528? - April 20, 1599) was a busho (Japanese military commander) in the Sengoku Period (Period of Warring States) (Japan).
Japanese: 宮部継潤（みやべけいじゅん、享禄元年（1528年）？－慶長4年3月25日(旧暦)（1599年4月20日））は、戦国時代(日本)の武将。
English: Although he was adopted by Zenshobo Seijun and became a monk of Mt. Hiei after practicing in Mt. Hiei, he returned to his hometown Miyabe and came to serve Nagamasa AZAI, Sengoku daimyo (Japanese territorial lord in the Sengoku period) in the Omi Province, as his vassal.
Japanese: 善祥坊清潤の養子となり比叡山で修行をした後比叡山の僧となったが、故郷宮部に戻り、近江の戦国大名・浅井長政の家臣として仕えるようになる。
English: There was also another aspect that he had excellent military prowess and he was active in the battle against Nobunaga ODA, following Nagamasa, but in October, 1571, in response to a stratagem of Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, he became Hideyoshi's yoriki (a police sergeant).
Japanese: 武勇に優れた一面もあり、長政に従って織田信長との戦いで活躍したが、元亀2年（1571年）10月に豊臣秀吉の調略に応じてその与力となった。
English: When Keijun attacked Kunitomo-jo Castle of the Azai side as a proof of his betrayal, he was shot and injured.
Japanese: 寝返りの証として浅井側の国友城を攻めた際、銃撃を受け継潤は負傷している。
English: Partly because Miyabe-jo Castle where he resided was an important base for the siege of Odani-jo Castle, he achieved many deeds of valor until Odani-jo Castle fell in September, 1573.
Japanese: 居城である宮部城は、小谷城攻めには欠かせない重要拠点だったこともあり、天正元年（1573年）8月の小谷城落城まで多く勲功を上げている。
English: Around this period he adopted Hideyoshi's nephew (later Hidetsugu TOYOTOMI), but the nephew seemed to be a virtual hostage and was returned to Hideyoshi after the fall of the Azai clan.
Japanese: この時期に秀吉の甥（後の豊臣秀次）を養子としているが、事実上の人質であったようで、浅井氏滅亡後は秀吉の元に返還されている。
English: Thereafter he was assigned to Hideyoshi's yoriki and followed the expedition to the Chugoku region and so on, and around 1580 after subjugation of the Yamana clan, he possessed 20,000 koku of Tajima-toyoka.
Japanese: その後は秀吉の与力につけられて中国遠征などに従い、1580年頃には、山名氏討伐後に但馬豊岡二万石を有している。
English: At the siege of Tottori-jo Castle, he dealt with the most difficult and important task that kept repelling the reinforcements of Motoharu KIKKAWA.
Japanese: 鳥取城攻めでは吉川元春の援軍を撃退し続けるという最も困難かつ重要な任務をこなした。
English: In 1582 his distinguished war service was recognized, when he became Chamberlain of Tottori-jo Castle in the Inaba Province.
Japanese: 天正10年（1582年）に戦功が認められ、因幡国鳥取城の城代となった。
English: Besides, at the time of Honnoji Incident, Tottori-jo Castle was the base most vulnerable to be attacked by the Mori family (it was impossible to attack the castle from the Sanyo side, Inland Sea provinces, due to the Battle of Bitchu Takamatsu-jo Castle), so from the fact that Miyabe continued to be entrusted with the base, Hideyoshi's strong reliance on him can be inferred.
Japanese: また、本能寺の変時、鳥取城は毛利家に攻撃される可能性が最も高い拠点であったが(山陽側は備中高松城の戦いの影響で攻めることが不可能だった)、その拠点を任され続けたことから秀吉の信頼の厚さがうかがえる。
English: When Hideyoshi came to seize great power after the Honnoji Incident, Miyabe formally became the lord of Tottori-jo Castle and governed 50,000 koku.
Japanese: 本能寺の変後、秀吉が大きな権力を握るようになると正式に鳥取城主となり、5万石を領した。
