English: She became Kiyomori's concubine at his request and gave birth to a girl (Lady Ro; a member of the Taira family) (the story of Tokiwa becoming Kiyomori's concubine is taken from "Heiji Monogatari" and "Heike Monogatari" (The Tale of Heike), which are both war stories; see below).
Japanese: 清盛に請われて妾となり、一女（廊御方(平家)）を産んだ（常盤御前が清盛の妾になった話は軍記物語の『平治物語』『平家物語』などによる。後述）。
English: On July 1, 1186, after Yoshitsune, who came into conflict with his older paternal half-brother, MINAMOTO no Yoritomo, fled from Kyoto, Tokiwa was captured by Kamakura soldiers along with Yoshitsune's sister near Ichijo Kawasaki Kannondo Temple in Kyoto (Kano-ji Temple located on the west shore of the Kamo-gawa River (part of the Yodo-gawa river system) in the North-eastern part of Kyoto).
Japanese: 義経が異母兄である源頼朝と対立し、都を落ちたのちの文治2年（1186年）6月6日、常盤は京都の一条河崎観音堂（京の東北、鴨川(淀川水系)西岸の感応寺）の辺りで義経の妹と共に鎌倉方に捕らわれている。
English: According to "Gyokuyo" (Diary of Kanezane KUJO), Tokiwa told Kamakura samurai that Yoshitsune was in Iwakura, Kyoto, but by the time they conducted a search, Yoshitsune had fled from Kyoto, leaving Buddhist monks behind to be captured by his enemies.
Japanese: 義経が岩倉にいると証言したので捜索したが、すでに逃げた後で房主僧のみを捕らえたとある（『玉葉』）。
English: On June 13, it is written in "Azuma Kagami" (The Mirror of the East) that Kamakura samurai inquired whether or not to send Tokiwa and Yoshitsune's sister to Kamakura.
Japanese: 同月13日には『吾妻鏡』に常盤と妹を鎌倉へ護送するかどうか問い合わせている記録がある。
English: According to some legends, she went after Yoshitsune along with her maids, and there are tombstones believed to be her grave remaining in Sekigahara Town of Gifu Prefecture, Maebashi City of Gunma Prefecture, Koriyama Town (currently, Kagoshima City) of Kagoshima Prefecture and Hanno City of Saitama Prefecture.
Japanese: 侍女と共に義経を追いかけたという伝承もあり、岐阜県関ヶ原町・群馬県前橋市・鹿児島県郡山町（現鹿児島市）・埼玉県飯能市には常盤の墓と言われるものがある。
English: According to genealogy in "Sonpi Bunmyaku" (Collection of Family Genealogies), Ro no onkata is described as Kiyomori's eighth daughter born by Tokiwa.
Japanese: 『尊卑分脈』の系図には、清盛の八女に常盤の娘として「廊御方」が記されている。
English: However, some people argue that the editor who compiled "Sonpi Bunmyaku," created Lady Ro from war history books.
Japanese: しかし、軍記物を読んだ『尊卑分脈』編者が廊御方という存在を作り出したとの説もある。
English: It is generally believed that Tokiwa had a sexual relationship with Kiyomori in order to save her children's lives.
Japanese: 常盤が清盛と男女の関係になることによって子供達の助命がかなったということが、一般的に知られている話である。
English: However, it is difficult to regard this as fact for the following reasons.
Japanese: しかし、このことに対しては次のような理由から史実とは受け止めがたい。
English: According to "Yoshitsune Ki" (Biography of Yoshitsune), which was written during the Muromachi period, Tokiwa agreed to become Kiyomori's concubine on condition that he spare the lives of her children.
Japanese: 室町期に成立した『義経記』においては、常盤が清盛の妾になることを条件に子供達が助命されることとなったとある。
English: Meanwhile, although there are different versions of "Heiji Monogatari," written during the Kamakura period, indicating that Tokiwa and Kiyomori had a sexual relationship, giving birth to a daughter, there is no record that Tokiwa's children were spared their lives because she agreed to become Kiyomori's concubine.
Japanese: しかし鎌倉時代に成立した『平治物語』諸本においては、常盤と清盛が男女の関係となり一女をもうけたという内容は記されているが、常盤が清盛の意に従う事と子供達の助命の因果関係は記されてない。
English: In "Heiji Monogatari", it is written that Tokiwa and Kiyomori came to have a sexual relationship after he decided to spare her children's lives.
Japanese: 『平治物語』において常盤と清盛が男女関係になったのは子供達の助命決定後の事となっている。
English: Ro no onkata (1161? – date of death unknown) was a woman who lived at the end of Heian period.
Japanese: 廊御方（廊の御方、ろうのおんかた　応保元年（1161年）?-没年不詳）は平安時代末期の女性。
English: Her older paternal half-brothers included TAIRA no Shigemori, TAIRA no Munemori, TAIRA no Tomomori, and TAIRA no Shigehira; her older paternal half-sisters included TAIRA no Tokuko; and her older maternal half-brothers included Zenjo ANO, Gien and MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune; her younger maternal half-brothers included Yoshinari ICHIJO.
Japanese: 異母兄に平重盛、平宗盛、平知盛、平重衡、異母姉に平徳子が、異父兄に阿野全成、義円、源義経、異父弟に一条能成がいる。
English: Reputed to be the most beautiful woman in Japan, Lady Ro was on good terms the wife of FUJIWARA no Kanemasa, the Minister of the Left (who was also the eldest daughter of Kiyomori) and was therefore able to become a high ranking lady and later the mistress of Kanemasa, by whom she had a daughter.
Japanese: 天下第一の美女と評され、左大臣藤原兼雅の妻（清盛の長女）と仲がよかったので上臈女房となり、後に兼雅の妾となって一女を生む。
English: She joined the Taira family in their exile from the capital until the Battle of Dan no ura, after which she was captured by the Minamoto clan along with TAIRA no Tokuko and others.
Japanese: 平家一門として都落ちから壇ノ浦の戦いに至るまで行動をともにし、平徳子らとともに源氏の捕虜になる。
English: Note, however, the information that Lady Ro was a younger paternal half-sister of Yoshitsune appears only in the "Heike Monogatari" (Tale of the Heike (the Taira family)) and the "Genpei Seisuiki" (Rise and Fall of the Minamoto and Taira clans), and has not been verified in historical sources such as "Gyokuyo" (Diary of Kanezane KUJO) and "Azuma Kagami" (Mirror of the East).
Japanese: ただし、義経の異父妹としての廊御方は軍記物語の『平家物語』や『源平盛衰記』にのみ登場しており、『玉葉』、『吾妻鏡』など史料においては確認されていない。
English: Although a Lady Ro is mentioned in the genealogy of the Kanmu-Heishi (Taira clan) in the "Sonpi Bunmyaku" (Lineage Sects of Noble and Humble) as the daughter of Kiyomori by Tokiwa, this book was written at the end of the period of the Northern and Southern Courts (Japan) with further information being added from the Muromachi period onwards, and it is possible that this information was a late addition.
Japanese: 『尊卑分脈』の桓武平氏系図で清盛の娘の一人に常盤を母とする廊御方が記されているが、この書物の成立自体が南北朝時代(日本)末期であり、室町時代以降にも多くの加筆が加えられているので、後代の人が物語に見える説を取り入れ書き加えた可能性がある。
English: The genealogy mentions another daughter of Kiyomori, who was an older sister of TAIRA no Tokuko and became a lawful wife of FUJIWARA no Kanemasa, the Minister of the Left; but if this woman is supposed to be Tokiwa's daughter, then a discrepancy in date arises, and it is thus suspected that an extra woman was added to the genealogy at a later date.
Japanese: 系図にもう一人平徳子の姉で左大臣藤原兼雅室となった清盛の娘があるが、この女子を常盤の娘に擬したところ、のちに年代が合わない事から、もう一人女子を新しく系図に加えた疑いもある。
English: Nevertheless, the theory that Tokiwa gave birth to Kiyomori's daughter is little more than a legend.
Japanese: いずれにしても、常盤が清盛の娘を生んだ事は半ば伝説の域を出ないのである
English: According to "Kirei Mondo" (a book published in the late Heian period), besides working as a shirabyoshi dancer herself, Iso no Zenji was also engaged in the business of sending out dancers to the residences of nobles in Kyoto.
Japanese: 自身も白拍子であり、『貴嶺問答』によると京の貴族の屋敷に白拍子の派遣などを行っていた。
English: It is written in Tsurezuregusa (Essays in Idleness; written by Kenko YOSHIDA in the early 14th century) that the shirabyoshi dance originated during Emperor Toba's reign, when Iso no Zenji, dressed in men's white clothing (called suikan) and wearing a sword and a cap, danced for Shinzei (Buddhist monk) to his favorite tunes.
Japanese: 鳥羽天皇の世に、信西（信西）がすぐれた曲を選んで、磯禅師に白い水干に鞘巻をさし、烏帽子の男装で舞わせたのが白拍子の始まりと徒然草にある。
English: (However, Tsurezuregusa was written about 150 years after the time of ISO no Zenji and Shizuka Gozen and its explanation lacks reliability.)
Japanese: （ただし、徒然草は磯禅師や静御前が生きた時代の150年ほど後に書かれたものなので信憑性はない）
English: In 1185, when Yoshitsune came into conflict with his elder brother, MINAMOTO no Yoritomo, and fled from Kyoto, Shizuka was captured by her enemies.
Japanese: 文治元年（1185年）、義経が兄の源頼朝と対立して京を落ちると静は捕らえられた。

Japanese: その後、磯禅師と静は北条政子と大姫(源頼朝の娘)に多くの重宝を与えられ、京に帰された。
English: Isono of Yamatotakada City, Nara Prefecture, is known as the village where Iso no Zenji was born and some people believe that Shizuka sought shelter in this village.
Japanese: 奈良県大和高田市礒野は礒野禅尼の里といわれ、静はここに身を寄せたとも伝えられる。

Japanese: 康頼はこの敵将の墓を修理して堂を立て六口の僧を置き不断念仏を唱えさせ、その保護に水田三十町歩を寄進した。
English: When this story reached Kyoto and the ears of Retired Emperor Goshirakawa, he got the impression that TAIRA no Yasuyori, despite his rank of deputy provincial governor, was a trustworthy young man infused with the spirit of Bushido (the code of the samurai), and promoted him to the post of kinju (attendant).
