English: His mother was a high-ranking lady in the court (a wife of an emperor), FUJIWARA no Meishi, Akirakeiko (Some dono no kisaki), who was the daughter of Grand Minister FUJIWARA no Yoshifusa.
Japanese: 母は太政大臣藤原良房の娘、女御藤原明子(染殿后)（めいし、あきらけいこ）。
English: Emperor Seiwa succeeded to the throne after Emperor Montoku when he was nine years old, so Yoshifusa took control of politics as the Emperor's maternal relative.
Japanese: 文徳天皇の崩御に伴い、わずか9歳で即位したため、良房が外戚として政治の実権を握った。
English: In 866 there was the Oten-mon Gate fire incident, which was presumably started by TOMO no Yoshio.
Japanese: 貞観8年（866年）には伴善男らによるものとされる応天門炎上事件が発生した。
English: Because the Emperor trusted TOMO no Yoshio, after Yoshifusa sorted out the incident, the Emperor officially appointed Yoshifusa as a regent to spare his feelings, although Emperor Seiwa celebrated his coming of age in 864.
Japanese: 天皇は伴善男を信頼していた為、事件を解決した良房に遠慮する形で既に貞観6年（864年）に元服していたにも関わらず、正式に摂政に任命した。
English: It is said that when Emperor Seiwa abdicated from the Imperial Throne in 879 and suddenly became a priest, he started an impossible fast but died due to his illness.
Japanese: 譲位後の元慶3年（879年）、突然出家して無理な断食修行を行った末に病死したとされている。
English: He was cremated, and his ashes/remains were buried in Mizu no o yama no misasagi (round burrow) in what is now the Ukyo Ward of Kyoto City.
Japanese: 火葬された遺骨は水尾山陵（みずのおやまのみささぎ「円墳」（京都市右京区）に埋葬された。
English: Emperor Yozei (January 2, 869 - October 23, 949), the fifty-seventh Emperor, reigned from November 29, 876 to February 4, 884.
Japanese: 陽成天皇（ようぜいてんのう、貞観10年12月16日(869年1月2日)-天暦3年9月29日(949年10月23日)、在位：貞観18年（876年）11月29日-元慶8年（884年）2月4日)は第57代天皇。
English: His mother was Gon-chunagon, FUJIWARA no Nagara's daughter, a high-ranking lady in the court (the wife of an Emperor), FUJIWARA no Takaiko (Nijo no kisaki).
Japanese: 母は権中納言藤原長良〔ふじわらのながら〕の娘、女御藤原高子（二条后）。
English: Prince Motohira was the earliest ancestor of the Yozei-Genji (Minamoto clan) and the Seiwa-Genji (Minamoto clan) (which originated in the Yozei-Genji (Minamoto clan)), which would eventually act as head of the military caste (the warrior class); however, in recent years it has been said that Emperor Yozei was known as a dictator (as mentioned later), so the Seiwa-Genji (Minamoto clan) disliked him and wanted to have Emperor Seiwa as an ancestor.
Japanese: 元平親王は陽成源氏の祖であるが、のちに武家の棟梁となる清和源氏は実際は陽成源氏で、この元平親王を先祖とするが、後述するとおり陽成帝には暴君との評判があり、それを嫌って一代前の清和天皇に祖を求めたのだとの説が近年提示されている。
English: During the early stage of the enthronement his father, the Retired Emperor, his mother Takako and the Regent FUJIWARA no Mototsune (the Emperor's uncle) all helped to rule the government.
Japanese: 在位の初めは父上皇、母高子、摂政藤原基経（天皇の伯父）が協力して政務を見た。
English: Following the death of his father, Emperor Seiwa, the relationship between Emperor Yozei and Mototsune became worse, and Mototsune once refused to serve the government.
Japanese: 父清和上皇の死後、基経との関係が悪化したらしく、基経は出仕をボイコットするに及ぶ。
English: There is a recent theory regarding the above situation, which asserts that Mototsune sent his two daughters to become Emperor Seiwa's ladies, followed by sending another daughter, either FUJIWARA no Kamiko or FUJIWARA no Onshito, to Emperor Seiwa when Emperor Yozei had his coming-of-age ceremony; however, the Empress might have refused to have them.
Japanese: 清和天皇に二人の娘を入内させたのに続き、陽成天皇の元服に際し、さらに娘の藤原佳美子または藤原温子を入内させようとしたのを、母后の高子が拒否したためではないかというのが、近年の説である。
English: In 883, Emperor Yozei beat MINAMOTO no Susumu, the son of his wet nurse, KI no Matako, to death and was forced to abdicate the throne.
Japanese: 元慶7年（883年）には宮中で自身の乳母であった紀全子（きのまたこ）の子、源益（みなもとのすすむ）を殴殺する事件を起こし、譲位を余儀なくされる。
English: Although Emperor Yozei is infamous for his bad behavior, it is questioned whether the story could be true, since he was only 17 years old at the time of his abdication; it could have been Mototsune's attempt to cover up his accusation in order to remove Emperor Yozei from his position and set up his favorites (the future emperors Koko and Uda) to succeed the throne.
Japanese: ただし、陽成天皇の暴君説は退位時の年齢が17歳（満15歳）であり疑問点も多く、天皇を廃位し、自身の意向に沿う光孝天皇・宇多天皇帝を擁立した基経の罪を抹消するための作為だともいわれる。
English: Even after Emperor Yozei abdicated, the emperors Koko, Uda and Daigo were all suspicious about the situation; some people have said that historical books such as "Nihon Sandai Jitsuroku" and "Shin Kokushi" were edited to prove the justice of those emperors in going against Retired Emperor Yozei.
Japanese: また、退位後も光孝・宇多・醍醐天皇の諸帝の警戒感は強く、『日本三代実録』や『新国史』の編纂は陽成上皇に対して自己の皇統の正当性を主張するための史書作成であったとする説がある。
English: Emperor Yozei was supposed to have some poetic talent, and on various occasions he organized tanka matches (tanka (writing) contests) by himself; there is only one existing song made by the Emperor, which won a prize from Gosen Wakashu (Later Collection of Japanese Poetry) and was later recorded in (A Hundred Poems by a Hundred Poets).
Japanese: 退位後に幾度か歌合せを催すなど、歌才があったようだが、自身の歌として伝わるのは後撰和歌集に入撰し、のちに小倉百人一首にも採録された下記一首のみである。
English: The little stream of the Minano-gawa river coming from Tsukuba falls into another stream, and gradually enters oblivion; when I think of someone I love, my feeling is same as the Minano-gawa River; it seems to get deeper and deeper' (in "A Hundred Poems" it is given as 'en to nari nuru' (instead of nari keru).
Japanese: 「つくばねの峰よりおつるみなの川恋ぞつもりて淵となりける」　（百人一首では「淵となりぬる」）
English: According to "O-kagami (The Great Mirror)," despite Retired Emperor Yozei's demotion from nobility to subject, when seeing Emperor Uda, who used to be one of the palace staff and was enthroned after the abdication of the Retired Emperor's father, Emperor Koko, it is said that the Retired Emperor asked, 'That person used to serve me at the palace, didn't he?'
Japanese: 『大鏡』には、いったん臣籍降下したにもかかわらず、父、光孝天皇の後をうけ即位した元侍従であった宇多天皇のことを、「あれはかつて私に仕えていた者ではないか」と言ったという逸話が残っている。
English: It is ironic that the Retired Emperor Yozei lived longer than Emperor Uda's prince and cousin, Prince Atsugimi (Atsuhito) (Emperor Daigo); moreover, he had to experience the imperial succession of Emperor Suzaku, Emperor Murakami and his great uncle on Emperor Koko's side.
Japanese: その皇子で又従兄弟でもあった敦仁親王（醍醐天皇）よりも長生きし、更に朱雀天皇、村上天皇と、大叔父の光孝系の皇統継承を見届けたのもまた、皮肉な事であった。
English: Above is the only song handed down to the present day, having been made for one of the Retired Emperor's wives, Princess Tsuridono no miya Suishi, who was Emperor Uda's sister.
Japanese: ちなみに唯一現代まで伝わる上記の歌は宇多天皇の妹にあたる妃の一人、釣殿宮綏子内親王にあてた歌である。
English: The Emperor was entombed in Kaguraoka no higashi no Misasagi in Shinnyo-cho Town, Jodoji, in the Sakyo Ward of Kyoto City.
Japanese: 京都市左京区浄土寺真如町にある神楽岡東陵（かぐらおかのひがしのみささぎ）に葬られた。
English: Emperor Koko (830 - September 17, 887) was the fifty-eighth Emperor (his reign was from March 23, 884 to September 17, 887).
Japanese: 光孝天皇(こうこうてんのう、天長7年（830年）-仁和3年8月26日（887年9月17日）在位：元慶8年2月23日（884年3月23日）-仁和3年8月26日（887年9月17日））は、第58代の天皇。
English: His brothers were the Emperor Montoku, Prince Muneyasu, Prince Saneyasu, Prince Motoyasu, MINAMOTO no Masaru and MINAMOTO no Hikaru.
Japanese: 兄弟には、文徳天皇、宗康親王、人康親王、本康親王、源多、源光がいる。
English: He had a coming-of -age ceremony when he was 16 years old in front of his father, Emperor Nimmyo, and became Shihon Shinno (Prince), after which he worked as Nakatsukasa kyo (a chief of the Nakatsukasa Ministry), Shikibu kyo (a chief of the Shikibu Ministry), Sumai no tsukasa (in charge of the sumo matches held in the presence of the Emperor), Dazai no sotsu (director of the Dazai Office), Taishu (a governor) of Hitachi Province and Kozuke Province, after nearly all the official positions had been filled, after which he became Ippon Shinno (Prince), the principal of princes when he was 53 years old.
Japanese: 16歳で父・仁明天皇の御前にて元服して四品親王となり、以後中務卿・式部卿・相撲司（別当）・大宰帥・常陸国及び上野国太守と親王が歴任する官職をほぼ全てを歴任し、53歳のときに一品親王となって諸親王の筆頭となる。
English: As soon as he was enthroned, he allowed many princes to be demoted from nobles to subjects; due to his illness, his son, Emperor Uda (Sadami) was returned as a prince on August 25, Ninna 3 and Emperor Uda became the crown prince on August 26, Ninna 4.
Japanese: 即位と同時に皇子を多く臣籍降下させたが、病を得たため仁和3年8月25日に子宇多天皇（さだみ）を親王に復し、翌8月26日に立太子させた。
English: It is said that he worked to restore court functions and that, as a highly educated person, he was very versatile.
Japanese: 宮中行事の再興に務めるとともに諸芸に優れた文化人でもあったとされる。
English: He was good at making poems and playing the 13-string koto, and he brought back falconry by following the precedent of Emperor Kammu.
Japanese: 和歌・和琴などに秀でともされ、桓武天皇の先例に倣って鷹狩を復活させた。
English: He also encouraged Sumo, presumably because as a prince he had worked as the sumai no tsukasa (in charge of the sumo matches held in the presence of the Emperor).
Japanese: また、親王時代に相撲司別当を務めていた関係か即位後相撲を奨励している。
English: In his final years he aimed to undertake political reform and build a temple (by imperial order) near Uda-in, where he had spent his time during princehood; however, it didn't come true, and it was succeeded to the next Emperor, Uda, to rule 'the peaceful era of Kampyo' and build Ninna-ji Temple.
Japanese: 晩年は政治改革と親王時代の住居であったとされる宇多院の近くに勅願寺創建を計画するも実現を見ぬままに終わり、後を継いだ宇多天皇の「寛平の治」及び仁和寺創建に継承されることになる。
English: According to "Nihon sandai jitsuroku," 'the young Emperor Koko was intelligent and preferred to read Chinese classics on ethics, politics and history books.'
Japanese: 『日本三代実録』にある「天皇少（わか）くして聡明、好みて経史を読む。
English: I went out to the field and picked up young greens for you, and the snow was falling on my sleeves.
Japanese: 君がため春の野に出でて若菜つむわが衣手に雪はふりつつ（きみがためはるののにいでてわかなつむわがころもでにゆきはふりつつ）
English: Emperor Suzaku (September 7, 923 - September 6, 952) was the sixty-first Emperor (his reign was from December 14, 930 to May 16, 946).
Japanese: 朱雀天皇（すざくてんのう、延長元年7月24日（923年9月7日）-天暦6年8月15日（952年9月6日）、在位：延長8年11月22日（930年12月14日）-天慶9年4月13日（946年5月16日））は第61代の天皇。
English: In the background how he became the crown prince was that the previous crown princes--his brother Prince Yasuakira and his son, Prince Yoshiyori--died young, thus the mother, Onshi, was afraid of bad spirits and looked after Prince Yutaakira within the layered Kicho (a partition of fabric used during the Heian period).
Japanese: 立太子の背景には、兄保明親王とその子慶頼王の二代にわたる東宮の夭折があり、母后穏子は怨霊を恐れて、幾重にも張られた几帳の中で寛明親王を育てたという。
English: In 930, following the death of Emperor Daigo, he took over the throne (senso) in September and succeeded to the throne (sokui) in November at the age of eight.
Japanese: 延長8年（930年）醍醐天皇の崩御を受け同年9月の践祚後、11月に8歳で即位。
English: In 935, during his reign, there was an incident caused by TAIRA no Masakado in the Kanto area, and the following year there was another one in the Inland Sea (of Japan) caused by FUJIWARA no Sumitomo.
Japanese: 治世中の承平5年（935年）2月、平将門が関東で反乱を起こし、次いで翌年には瀬戸内海で藤原純友が乱を起こした。
English: The government tried to reconcile the incident but it failed, so in 940 FUJIWARA no Tadafumi was appointed as Seii Raishogun (literally, "great general who subdues the barbarians") to send the troops to defeat Masakado, FUJIWARA no Hidesato subjugated Masakado.
Japanese: 懐柔策を試みたがうまくいかず、天慶3年（940年）、藤原忠文を征夷大将軍に任命して将門征伐軍を送り、藤原秀郷の手により将門は討たれた。
English: During Emperor Suzaku's reign there were many disasters or abnormal events such as the eruptin of Mt. Fuji, earthquakes and flooding; moreover, not only did the Emperor have no children, but he also abdicated to pass the throne to his younger half-brother, Prince Nariakira (later called Emperor Murakami) and left the Imperial Palace to live at Ninna-ji Temple.
Japanese: 治世中はこのほかにも富士山の噴火や地震・洪水などの災害・変異が多く、また皇子女に恵まれなかったこともあってか、朱雀天皇は早々と同母弟成明親王（後の村上天皇）に譲位し、仁和寺に入った。
English: The Emperor was entombed in Daigo no misasagi (the Daigo (Imperial) Mausoleum), Higashi Ura cho-Town, Daigo goryo of Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, which is not far from Yamashina no misasagi, the mausoleum of his father, Emperor Daigo.
Japanese: 御陵は京都市伏見区醍醐御陵東裏町にある醍醐陵（だいごのみささぎ）で、父帝醍醐天皇の山科陵から遠くない。
English: Emperor Murakami (July 14, 926 - July 5, 967) reigned in the mid-Heian period (from May 31, 946 to July 5, 967).
Japanese: 村上天皇（むらかみてんのう、延長4年6月2日（926年7月14日）-康保4年5月25日（967年7月5日）、在位：天慶9年4月28日（946年5月31日）-康保4年5月25日（967年7月5日））は、平安時代中期の天皇。
English: He became the crown prince on April 22, 944 and was enthroned on the 28th of the same month after the abdication of Emperor Suzaku (April 13, 946).
Japanese: 天慶7年（944年）4月22日に皇太子となり、同9年4月13日に朱雀天皇の譲位により践祚、同月28日に即位。
English: The Emperor's father-in-law, FUJIWARA no Tadahira, continued to work as a chancellor (chief cabinet advisor to the Emperor) from the previous Emperor's era, since after Tadahira died in 949 there was no one appointed as a regent so a chancellor and the Emperor ruled the government directly; this became Imperial House Law, followed by the Engi period.
Japanese: 先代に続いて天皇の外舅藤原忠平が関白を務めたが、天暦3年（949年）に忠平が亡くなるとそれ以降摂関を置かず、延喜時代とともに天皇親政の典範とされた。
English: However, the actual control of politics was still with FUJIWARA no Saneyori and FUJIWARA no Morosuke (brothers of the regent-and-chancellor family); in addition, the Emperor's mother Onshi and older brother, the Cloistered Emperor Suzaku in his pious life, tried to get involved in politics as guardians, so the government--which was supposed to be ruled by the Emperor--was a superficial one.
Japanese: しかし実際には政治の実権は依然摂関家の藤原実頼・藤原師輔兄弟にあり、更に母の穏子や兄の朱雀法皇も後見を名目に政治に関与しようとしたため、親政は表象にすぎなかった。
English: Subsequent to the Shohei and Tengyo Rebellion caused by TAIRA no Masakado, FUJIWARA no Sumitomo (935 - 940), because the imperial financial situation was tight, the Emperor encouraged the saving of money and helped to stabilize prices.
Japanese: 平将門・藤原純友の起こした承平・天慶の乱（935年-940年）の後、朝廷の財政が逼迫していたので倹約に努め物価を安定させた。
English: In the area of civil administration, the Emperor ordered the editing of "Go-sen Waka Shu (Later Collection of Japanese Poetry)" in 951, or organized Tentoku Dairi Utaawase (a tanka match, or a tanka (writing) contest) in March 960, being highly regarded as a poet and protector of the world of tanka poetry; this reptution continued in subsequent ages.
Japanese: 文治面では、天暦5年（951年）に『後撰和歌集』の編纂を下命したり、天徳4年（960年）3月に天徳内裏歌合を催行したりするなど、歌人としても歌壇の庇護者としても後世に評価される。
English: On the other hand, the political basis controlled by the Emperor's maternal family became more established during this reign and there was no fairness in politics; moreover, there were disasters such as when the Imperial Palace burned down in Tentoku 4, and so on.
Japanese: しかしその反面、この時代に外戚政治の土台が一段と固められ、吏治にも公正さが失われる一方、天徳4年の内裏焼亡をはじめとする数々の災難があった。
English: There was no Emperor-go for 900 years since Emperor Murakami until Emperor Kokaku in the Edo period.
Japanese: 天皇号を持つ天皇は、村上天皇以後、江戸時代の光格天皇まで900年近くの間なかった。
English: Also, the descendant of Prince Tomohira had a dramatic influence as MURAKAMI Genji (the MINAMOTO clan originating from Emperor Murakami) would in future turn toward politics controlled by the Imperial Palace.
Japanese: また、皇子具平親王の末裔は「村上源氏」として、以後の宮廷政治において大きな影響力を与えるようになる。
English: During Emperor Ichijo's reign, the Emperor Murakami was already called 'former Emperor Murakami' instead of 'Murakami in, Retired Emperor Murakami.'
Japanese: 一条朝のあたりで既に「村上の先帝」と呼び、「村上院」とはいわなかった。
English: Emperor Enyu (April 12, 959 - March 1, 991) was the sixty-fourth Emperor (his reign was November 5, 969 to September 24, 984).
Japanese: 円融天皇（えんゆうてんのう、天徳(日本)3年3月2日（959年4月12日）-正暦2年2月12日（991年3月1日）；　在位：安和2年9月23日（969年11月5日）-永観2年8月27日（984年9月24日））は、第64代の天皇。
English: Initially, the chancellor (chief adviser to the Emperor) FUJIWARA no Kanemichi's daughter Koshi became the Emperor's second consort, but after she died (in 979), Junshi, daughter of the chancellor FUJIWARA no Yoritada, took over her position.
Japanese: はじめ関白藤原兼通の娘媓子を中宮とし、天元2年（979年）に彼女が亡くなると、代わって関白藤原頼忠の娘遵子を中宮に立てた。
English: Also, the Emperor gave approval for FUJIWARA no Kaneie's second daughter, FUJIWARA no Senshi, to enter the Imperial Palace as a consort bride; she gave birth to an only prince, Yasuhito (later called Emperor Ichijo).
Japanese: また、藤原兼家の次女藤原詮子を入内させ、詮子との間には唯一の皇子女、懐仁親王（後の一条天皇）が産まれている。
English: On September 1, 967, he became the crown prince at the age of nine instead of his older brother, Imperial Prince Tamehira.
Japanese: 康保4年（967年）9月1日、九歳にして、同母兄の為平親王を飛び越えて立太子。
English: The Fujiwara clan caused the Anna Incident, as they did not like Imperial Prince Tamehira having an empress who was a daughter of MINAMOTO no Takaakira; so, after he lost his position, Emperor Enyu became a successor, followed by Emperor Reizei.
Japanese: 為平親王が源高明の娘を妃にしていたため、これを嫌った藤原氏の策略による安和の変で、源高明が失脚すると、冷泉天皇の譲りを受けて即位した。
English: The Emperor was 11 years old when he was enthroned, so the grand minister, FUJIWARA no Saneyori, became a regent.
Japanese: 即位時11歳であったので、太政大臣藤原実頼（さねより）が摂政に就いた。
English: After Saneyori died in 970, the Emperor's father-in-law, FUJIWARA no Koremasa, took over the position of regent.
Japanese: 天禄元年（970年）に実頼が薨去すると、天皇の外舅藤原伊尹（これまさ）が摂政を引き継いだ。
English: In 972, after Koremasa died after about a year in his position, there was a fierce battle between his brothers, Kanemichi and Kaneie, to take over the position of regent.
Japanese: 同三年、伊尹が在職一年あまりで亡くなると、その弟の兼通・兼家の間で、摂関職を巡って熾烈なる争いが行われた。
English: The Emperor appointed Kanemichi as the chancellor, following his mother's will, but after that Kanemichi became very ill in 977 and the Emperor appointed FUJIWARA no Yoritada, a distant relative, to take over Kanemichi's position, since that was Kanemichi's wish.
Japanese: 天皇は亡母の遺訓に従って兼通を関白に任じて、さらに貞元2年（977年）に関白兼通が重病に陥ると、兼通の要望に従って遠縁の藤原頼忠を後任とした。
English: This was partly due to Kanemichi's power; one theory asserts that Emperor Enyu preferred Yoritada, who had sent his daughter Junshi to him, but on the other hand Kaneie did not send any of his daughters to Emperor Enyu, although he did so for the Retired Emperor Reizei, so the Emperor did not have complete trust in Kaneie.
Japanese: これは兼通の権勢もあるが、兼家が当時兄の冷泉上皇には娘・藤原超子を納れていたにも関わらず、天皇である自分の許には娘を納れていなかったために天皇も兼家に含むところがあり娘・遵子を納れていた頼忠の方に好意を抱いていたとする見方もある。
English: Subsequently, Kaneie sent his daughter Senshi to the Emperor, and Senshi gave birth to the Emperor's only prince, Yasuhito (later Emperor Ichijo).
Japanese: その後兼家も娘・詮子を納れ、天皇の唯一の皇子女である一条天皇（懐仁親王）を儲ける。
English: A chain of events led Kaneie to hold a grudge against the Emperor; consequently, Kaneie returned to his hometown with Senshi and Prince Yasuhito, and never let them return to the palace.
Japanese: 一連のことは兼家の恨みを買い、彼は娘詮子・外孫懐仁親王ともども、里第に籠って出仕しなかった。
English: On the other hand, the Emperor tried not to rely on Kaneie by using Kanemichi's palace, Horikawa dono (residence) (it was still used after the Emperor abdicated the throne) or using the palace of Chancellor Yoritada as a temporary palace when, on two occasions, fires occurred in the palace, so the relationship between the Emperor and Kaneie was sensitive.
Japanese: これに対して天皇も2度の内裏の焼失の際に故兼通邸の堀河殿（退位後も御所として使用）や関白頼忠邸を仮の御所として兼家への依存を拒むなど、両者の緊張関係が続く事になる。
English: Thus the Emperor was at the mercy of a power struggle within the Fujiwara clan, and he abdicated and passed the throne to Emperor Kazan in 984 after Imperial Prince Yasuhito became the crown prince.
Japanese: かように藤原氏の勢力争いに翻弄され、永観2年（984年）、懐仁親王の立太子を条件に花山天皇に譲位。
English: It is said that during Emperor Ichijo's reign, Emperor Enyu seized strong leadership over the young Emperor Ichijo, and intended to rule a cloister government; however, this isn't certain.
Japanese: 一条朝には幼帝を指導して強い発言権を持ち、院政の意図があったともいうが不詳。
English: In August 985 he was given the orders of the priesthood by Kancho Dai-sojo (the head priest of a Buddhist sect), and became a priest, whereupon he lived at Enyu-ji Temple.
Japanese: 寛和元年（985）8月、寛朝大僧正の授戒により出家し、以後円融寺に住む。
English: His mausoleum is Nochino murakami no Misasagi, located at Fukuoji-cho Town, Utano, in the Ukyo Ward of Kyoto City.
Japanese: 陵墓は京都市右京区宇多野福王子町にある後村上陵（のちのむらかみのみささぎ）。
English: Emperor Reizei (June 12, 950 - November 21, 1011) was the sixty-third emperor (his reign was in the mid-Heian period, from November 15, 967 to September 27, 969).
Japanese: 冷泉天皇（れいぜいてんのう、天暦4年5月24日（950年6月12日）-寛弘8年10月24日（1011年11月21日）、在位：康保4年10月11日（967年11月15日）-安和2年8月13日（969年9月27日））は、第63代の平安時代中期の天皇。
English: The Emperor had suffered mental illness since he was the crown prince, and therefore FUJIWAEA no Saneyori became chancellor (chief advisor to the Emperor).
Japanese: 精神に病があり皇太子の時代から問題になっていたことから、藤原実頼が関白についた。
English: The Anna Incident took place, and Prince Tamehira, the fourth prince of Emperor Murakami, and Prince Morihira fought each other to become the crown prince during Emperor Reizei's reign; consequently, Emperor Enyu (Prince Morihira) became the Emperor in 969.
Japanese: 村上天皇の第四皇子為平親王と、守平親王の間で冷泉天皇の皇太子（皇太弟）をめぐって安和の変があり、安和2年（969年）、円融天皇（守平親王）に譲位。
English: Subsequently, the Imperial Throne was shared with his brother (from the Enyu line) for about 50 years until Emperor Go-Ichijo succeeded to the throne; the Imperial line was brought together after the enthronement of Emperor Go-Sanjo, who was a great-grandchild from both lines, having his mother from the Reizei line and his father from the Enyu line.
Japanese: 以後後一条天皇の即位まで約50年間弟の円融系との皇位迭立が続き、円融系を父方、冷泉系を母方とする曾孫の後三条天皇の即位で両皇統は融合される事となった。
English: His name as an retired emperor came from 'Reizei in,' which was built by Emperor Saga on the northeast of the current Nijo-jo Castle as his detached palace; it was an imperial villa that later became Go-in (retired emperor's palace).
Japanese: 上皇になった際の名称は、現在の二条城の東北に嵯峨天皇が造営した離宮「冷然院」が後に後院（上皇の御所）となった「冷泉院」に由来する。
English: Emperor Reizei appeared physically healthy, but since his days as the crown prince he had exhibited strange behavior that belied his insanity.
Japanese: 冷泉天皇は容姿が非常に端麗であったが、皇太子時代から精神の病ゆえの奇行が目立った。
English: He continued to send letters back to his father, Emperor Murakami, containing pictures of an enlarged penis.
Japanese: 父帝（村上天皇）に手紙の返事として、男性の陰茎が大きく描かれた絵を送りつけた。
English: When there was a fire at his palace (Gosho) after he abdicated the throne, as he was escaping to a safe place he sang loudly inside the cow-drawn carriage.
Japanese: 退位後に住んでいた御所が火事になった折、避難するときに牛車の中で大声で歌を歌った。
English: During an official ceremony, he took off his crown suddenly and, saying, 'I cannot wear this heavy thing anymore,' he pulled Uma no myobu's arm aggressively, who was serving near him, into the room with a partition and raped her.
Japanese: 儀式の最中に「こんな重いものは被っていられない」といきなり冠を脱ぎ、近く使えていた馬命婦を帳の中に強引に引き入れて姦した。
English: In addition to the above strange behavior, Emperor Reizei had no maternal relationship with the regent, FUJIWARA no Saneyori, and Imperial Prince Tamehira, who was considered to be a powerful successor to the throne, had MINAMOTO no Takaakira as father-in-law; this inflamed the FUJIWARA clan (and became a foreshadowing of the Anna Incident), and consequently Emperor Reizei abdicated within just two years after his enthronement.
Japanese: これらの奇行と当時の摂政だった藤原実頼と外戚関係を持たず、逆に有力な跡継ぎとされていた為平親王が伯父の源高明を舅とし、藤原氏を刺激した（安和の変の伏線となる）事等が僅か2年で退位する原因となった。
English: However, after the abdication the Retired Emperor Reizei lived to the age of 61, presumably due to not having too much stress that he had when in power; it was ironic that his relatives like Prince Morosada (the Emperor Kazan) or other princes and princesses, his brother Emperor Enyu and his Prince (Emperor) Ichijo, passed away before him.
Japanese: もっとも退位後は在位時のプレッシャーがなくなったのか、61歳まで生きたが、師貞親王(花山天皇)をはじめとする皇子女や弟円融天皇、その皇子の一条天皇等多くの親族に先立たれたのは皮肉な事であった。
English: However, his imperial line certainly fused together with Princess Teishi and Emperor Enyu's line after his death.
Japanese: しかし、天皇の血統は確実に孫娘の禎子内親王をもって、没後円融系と融合される事となったのである。
English: Emperor Kazan (November 29, 968 - March 17, 1008) reigned from November 5, 984 - July 31, 986, as the sixty-fifth Emperor.
Japanese: 花山天皇（かざんてんのう、安和元年10月26日（968年11月29日）-寛弘5年2月8日（1008年3月17日）、在位：永観2年10月10日（984年11月5日）-寛和2年6月23日（986年7月31日））は、第65代の天皇。
English: Prince Kiyohito was his son, who became a forefather of Kazan Genji (the Minamoto family originated from the Emperor Kazan) (Haku o ke (the Haku o family), who descended from Jingi haku (a chief official in charge of matters related to Shintoism)).
Japanese: 子には花山源氏（神祇伯を世襲した伯王家）の祖となった清仁親王がいる。
English: Emperor Kazan became the crown prince in 969 concurrently with the enthronement of his uncle, Emperor Enyu; he succeeded to the throne after Emperor Enyu in 984.
Japanese: 安和2年（969年）、叔父円融天皇の即位と共に皇太子になり、永観2年（984年）、同帝の譲位を受けて即位。
English: He was enthroned after ten months he was born due to his maternal grandfather, Koremasa's political influence; however, when he succeeded to the throne at seventeen, Koremasa had already passed away and he did not have any powerful maternal relative, so his reign only lasted a little more than two years.
Japanese: 生後10ヶ月足らずで立太子したのは、摂政であった外祖父伊尹の外祖父によるものだが、17歳で即位時には既に伊尹は亡くなっており、有力な外戚を持たなかった事は、2年足らずの在位という後果を招いた。
