Japanese: 信長の死を知った氏政は、当初は滝川一益に引き続き協調関係を継続する旨を通知しているが、その後、氏直と氏邦に上野奪取を命じ、4万3千と称する大軍を上野に侵攻させ、神流川の戦いで大勝し、厩橋城の滝川一益を上野から追放した。

English: In the meantime, Ieyasu, who invaded Kai Province, skillfully persuaded Masayuki SANADA into the Tokugawa side with the help of Nobushige YODA, and also supported Sadayoshi OGASAWARA of Tokugawa side, which caused a confrontation between him and the Hojo army (Tenshojingo Rebellion).
Japanese: 一方、甲斐に侵攻した家康は依田信蕃を通して真田昌幸を調略し、さらに徳川方の小笠原貞慶への肩入れなどにより、北条軍と対立した（天正壬午の乱）。
English: Although Ujinao and Ieyasu confronted each other once in Wakamiko of the Kai Province (the Battle of Wakamiko), the Hojo clan reduced its power to fight against the Tokugawa clan, since in Shinano, Masayuki SANADA defected from the Hojo clan, and in Kurokoma of Kai Province, Ujitada HOJO, who led detached forces, lost to the Tokugawa army, and only the limited area of the Gunnai region remained in the hands of the Hojo clan in Kai Province.
Japanese: その後、甲斐の若神子において氏直と家康は対陣したが（若神子の戦い）、信濃では真田昌幸が離反し、甲斐においても別働隊の北条氏忠が、黒駒において徳川方に敗北し、甲斐の北条領は郡内地方の領有に留まる等、対陣は不利となった。
English: The Hojo and Tokugawa clans settled a territorial dispute by giving the Tokugawa clan Kai and Shinano Provinces and the Hojo clan Kozuke Province, but the peace terms were unfavorable for the Hojo clan, because it had to waver the territorial rights of Saku and Oagata Counties of Shinano Province and the Gunnai region of Kai County.
Japanese: 領土問題は甲斐・信濃を徳川領、上野を北条領とすることで合意したが、信濃佐久・小県両郡と甲斐郡内地方の放棄は不利な講和条件だった。
English: Furthermore, Masayuki SANADA of the Tokugawa side refused to surrender the Numata area of Kozuke Province to the Hojo clan and switched sides to the Uesugi clan, which brought a battle between the Sanada clan and the Tokugawa-Hojo alliance at Numata-jo Castle, Ueda, and also triggered the Numata Mondai and the Nagurumi Incident in later years.
Japanese: しかも徳川についた真田昌幸が、後に上野の沼田を北条に明け渡す事を拒んで上杉氏に寝返り、上田・沼田城にて徳川・北条と抗戦することとなり、これが後の沼田問題さらに名胡桃事件の伏線となる。

English: In Musashi Province, the Edo region and Iwatsuki-ryo of Musashi Province were seized by the Hojo clan and both the Tone-gawa River and Hitachi-gawa River Systems were put under its control, which gave the clan the control of the distribution and traffic systems in the region, and the anti-Hojo alliance in the Kanto region was forced to choose either to obey or confront the Hojo clan.
Japanese: また武蔵の江戸地域、岩付領の支配を掌握し、利根川水系と常陸川水系の支配を確保、これによって流通・交通体系を支配したため、関東の反北条連合は従属か徹底抗戦の二択を迫られるまでに至った。
English: Also, it is said that the clan had an idea to use the Edo-jo Castle as a 'castle in retirement' to administer the political affairs there to ensure the rule over the region, but considering Ujimasa continued residing in Odawara, the plan seemed to have failed.
Japanese: なお、この時期に同地域の支配を確固たるものにするために江戸城を隠居城として政務を執る構想があったとも言われているが、実際には氏政は以後も小田原に居住しており、具体化には至らなかったとされている。
English: In 1585, when Yoshishige SATAKE (the 18th family head) and Kunitsuna UTSUNOMIYA attacked Sukeharu NASU and Yoshitake MIBU, Ujimasa began a full-blown invasion of Shimotsuke Province by building an alliance with the Nasu clan and put the southern half of the Province under its control.
Japanese: 天正13年（1585年）、佐竹義重(十八代当主)・宇都宮国綱らが那須資晴・壬生義雄らを攻めると、氏政は那須氏らと手を結んで本格的に下野侵攻を開始し、下野の南半分を支配下に置いた。
English: Also, in southern Hitachi Province, Ujimasa supported the Toki clan, the lord of Edosaki-jo Castle, and the Okami clan, the lord of Ushiku-jo Castle, and extended its influence to the region.
Japanese: また常陸南部の江戸崎城の土岐氏及び牛久城の岡見氏を支援し、常陸南部にも勢力を及ぼした。
English: Thus, the Hojo clan achieved the largest territory of 2.4 million koku (667,200 cubic meters) including Sagami, Izu, Musashi, Shimousa, Kazusa, Kozuke Provinces and parts of Hitachi, Shimotsuke and Suruga Provinces.
Japanese: こうして、北条氏の領国は相模・伊豆・武蔵・下総・上総・上野から常陸国・下野国・駿河国の一部に及ぶ240万石に達し、最大版図を築き上げた。
English: After beating Mitsuhide AKECHI, the Hojo clan faced against Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI who succeeded the project of unifying the whole nation from Nobunaga ODA.
Japanese: しかし、明智光秀を討ち、織田信長の天下一統事業を継承した豊臣秀吉との対立が待っていた。
English: In 1588, Hideyoshi asked Ujimasa and Ujinao, the father and son, to attend the imperial visit to Jurakudai (Hideyoshi's residence and office in Kyoto), but Ujimasa refused it.
Japanese: 天正16年（1588年）、秀吉から氏政・氏直親子の聚楽第行幸への列席を求められたが、氏政はこれを拒否する。
English: In the capital, there was a rumor that the Hojo clan would be subjugated, Ieyasu TOKUGAWA persuaded Ujimasa by the following written oath to send the younger brother of Ujimasa, Ujinori HOJO, to the capital as a representative of the clan, which helped to temporarily stabilize the relationship between the Hojo clan and the Toyotomi clan.
Japanese: 京では北条討伐の風聞が立ったが、徳川家康の起請文により以下のような説得を受け、氏政の弟・北条氏規が名代として上洛したことで、北条－豊臣間の関係は一時的にではあるが安定する。
English: According to the Bushu Bunsho (Bushu documents), sometime during this period, Ujimasa declared his complete retirement.
Japanese: なお武州文書によると、この頃、氏政は実質的にも隠居をすると宣言している。
English: (It had been believed that Ujinao, his pro-Tokugawa son, was put up, as Ujimasa was a war advocate and opposed to the total subordination to Hideyoshi, but this theory yields some questions since Ujimasa later informed his vassals and influential domain people that he would go up to the capital himself.)
Japanese: （氏政は秀吉への全面従属には反対であったため、親徳川の氏直をたてたとされるが、のちに氏政自身が上洛することを家臣・国衆に通知しており、氏政が主戦派との見解については疑問がある）。
English: In March 1589, Tonari ITABEOKA, a member of hyojoshu (state council), went up to the capital and requested Hideyoshi to settle the Numata Mondai.
Japanese: 天正17年（1589年）2月、評定衆である板部岡融成が上洛し、沼田問題の解決を秀吉に要請した。
English: Hideyoshi ruled that two thirds of the Numata area should be returned to the Hojo clan, and Ujimasa sent a letter in July to Hideyoshi promising his visit to the capital in December in return, and handover of the Numata area was carried out in August.
Japanese: 秀吉は沼田領の3分の2を北条側に還付する沼田裁定をおこない、6月には12月氏政上洛の一札を受け取り、沼田領は7月に北条方に引き渡された。
English: However, Ujimasa proposed to reschedule the visit to spring or summer of 1590, but Hideyoshi refused the proposal, which worsened the relationship of the two again.
Japanese: しかし上洛について、氏政は新たに天正18年（1590年）の春夏頃の上洛を申し入れたが、それを秀吉が拒否したことにより、再び関係が悪化し始める。
English: Under the tense situation, the seizure of Nagurumi-jo Castle (the Nagurumi Incident) by Kuninori INOMATA, a vassal of Ujikuni, occurred in November.
Japanese: こうした状況の中の10月、氏邦の家臣・猪俣邦憲による名胡桃城奪取事件が起きた。
English: Hideyoshi ordered Ieyasu and Kagekatsu to visit the capital, and urged other daimyo to prepare their forces for the subjugation of the Hojo clan in coming spring of 1590.
Japanese: 秀吉は家康、景勝らを上洛させ、諸大名に対して天正18年（1590年）春の北条氏追討の出陣用意を促した。
English: Also, Hideyoshi sent Moritsuki TSUDA and Ippaku TOMITA to the Hojo clan as an envoy of the shogun, and demanded that the clan punish the ringleader of the Nagurumi Incident and immediately visit the capital.
Japanese: また、秀吉は津田盛月・富田一白を上使として北条氏に派遣し、名胡桃事件の首謀者を処罰して即刻上洛するよう要求している。
English: To these demands, Ujinao explained his inability to visit the capital that there were rumors that Ujimasa would be detained or his ruling domain would be changed, and urged Hideyoshi to remove these worries before going up to the capital, claiming that the difference in treatment between him in the Nagurumi Incident and Ieyasu TOKUGAWA who received good treatment from Hideyoshi when offering his vassalage; Ieyasu was allowed to take Hideyoshi's younger sister, Asahihime, for his wife, i.e. Ieyasu had Omandokoro (the mother of Hideyoshi) as a sort of his hostage before visiting the capital.
Japanese: これに対して氏直は、氏政抑留か国替えの惑説があるため上洛できないことと、徳川家康が臣従時に秀吉が朝日姫と婚姻し大政所を人質とした上で上洛した厚遇を受けたことに対して、名胡桃事件における北条氏に対する秀吉の態度との差を挙げ、抑留・国替がなく心安く上洛を遂げられるよう要請した。
English: About the Nagurumi Incident, Ujinao made an excuse that the lord of the Nagurumi-jo Castle (the Sanada side) volunteered to switch to the Hojo clan, and there was no such an order from Ujimasa or Ujinao to seize the castle, and the castle was already returned to the Sanada side.
Japanese: また名胡桃城奪取事件について、氏政や氏直の命令があったわけではなく、真田方の名胡桃城主が北条方に寝返ったことによるもので、すでに名胡桃城は真田方に返還したと弁明している。
English: If this incident was indeed caused only by Inomata, it was a result of a lack of supervision by Ujinao and Ujimasa, and it can be said that the confrontation among moderate Ujinori, center Ujinao and pro-war Ujimasa, Ujiaki and Ujikuni surfaced through this incident.
Japanese: これが真に猪俣の独断であるならば、氏直・氏政の監督不行き届きが招いた結果であり、穏健派の氏規と中間派の氏直、主戦派の氏政・氏照・氏邦の対立が表面化したと言える。
English: However, Ujimasa and Ujinao repeatedly insisted in several (extant) letters that although the capital visit by Ujimasa was delayed, upon the acquisition of Numata-jo Castle, from December (old calendar) to spring or summer of the following year, Ujimasa was willing to visit Hideyoshi, and that the Hojo clan was not responsible for the seizure of Nagurumi-jo Castle.
Japanese: しかし現存している各種書状において、沼田城受領後の氏政は自らの上洛時期が当初の12月から翌春夏にずれたものの、上洛に積極的であり、また氏政・氏直が再三にわたり名胡桃城を北条が奪取したわけでないと述べている。
English: Based on these circumstantial evidence, it seems the truth about the so-called seizure of Nagurumi-jo Castle remains to be unknown.
Japanese: これらを考慮すると、名胡桃城奪取と言われる真の状況は今をもっても不明といわざるを得ない。
English: On the other hand, Hideyoshi, who was frustrated with the delayed visit by Ujimasa, regarded Ujimasa's attitude not to visit and serve Hideyoshi as the rejection of the subordination to the Toyotomi family; issued a formal order to those daimyo to search out and destroy Ujimasa on December 23 (old calendar).
Japanese: 未だに上洛を引き延ばす氏政の姿勢に業を煮やした秀吉は、氏政の上洛・出仕の拒否を豊臣家への従属拒否であるとみなし、12月23日、諸大名に正式に追討の陣触れを発した。
English: Before the order, Ujimasa and Ujinao, who were informed of the 手切れ in the border of Suruga and Izu Provinces, organized their army to attack the Hideyoshi army by ordering the vassals of the Hojo clan and other local samurais on December 17 to join the upcoming battle against Hideyoshi in Odawara on February 19.
Japanese: これに先立って駿豆国境間が手切れに及んだことを知った氏政・氏直は、17日には北条領国内の家臣・他国衆に対して小田原への1月15日参陣を命じて迎撃の態勢を整えるに至った。
English: At first, the Hojo clan was highly motivated in fighting the war, beating the Sanada and Ida clans invading from Usui-toge Pass, and scouting to discover the force levels of warlords on the Toyotomi side in the Suruga-Izu border, and so so on, but after Hideyoshi arrived at Numazu, the Hojo clan lost the following battle and was forced to surrender Yamanaka-jo Castle.
Japanese: 当初は碓井峠を越えてきた真田・依田に対して勝利し、駿豆国境方面でも布陣する豊臣方諸将に威力偵察するなど戦意は旺盛であったが、秀吉の沼津着陣後には、緒戦で山中城が落城。
English: After losing the Yamanaka-jo Castle, the Hojo clan held the Odawara-jo Castle for about three months starting in May 1590.
Japanese: 天正18年（1590年）4月から約3ヶ月に渡って小田原城に籠城する。
English: The battle continued, and many castles in the Hojo territory, such as Shimoda-jo Castle, Matsuida-jo Castle, Tamanawa-jo Castle, Iwatsuki-jo Castle, Hachigata-jo Castle, Hachioji-jo Castle and Tsukui-jo Castle, fell one after another.
Japanese: その後領国内の下田城、松井田城、玉縄城、岩槻城、鉢形城、八王子城、津久井城等の諸城が次々と落城。
English: On this occasion, vassals of the Hojo clan held a discussion for more than a month whether to continue the war (a pro-war party) or to surrender (a pro-surrender party), but did not reach a conclusion, and this situation is believed to be the origin of a proverb, 'Odawara Hyojo' (Odawara conference, meaning 'an inconclusive discussion'), but originally, the phrase indicated a regular conference (Hyojo) held monthly by Hojo vassals.
Japanese: 俗にこの際、一月以上に渡り、北条家家臣団の抗戦派と降伏派によって繰り広げられた議論が小田原評定の語源になったと言われているが、本来は北条家臣団が定期的（概ねの期間において毎月）に行っていた評定を呼ぶものである。
English: On August 4, Ujinao surrendered to Hideyoshi on the condition that all the officers and soldiers of the Hojo clan were spared their life in exchange for his life.
Japanese: 7月5日、氏直が自分の命と引き換えに全ての将兵の助命を乞い、降伏した。
English: Although Ujimasa's father-in-law, Ieyasu, asked for a pardon for Ujimasa, Hideyoshi ordered Seppuku to Ujimasa and Ujiteru, and the chief vassals of Norihide MATSUDA and Masashige DAIDOJI, for their responsibility to cause the subjugation of the Hojo clan.
Japanese: 舅・家康も氏政の助命を乞うが、北条氏の討伐を招いた責任者として秀吉は氏政・氏照及び宿老の松田憲秀・大道寺政繁に切腹を命じた。
English: According to the information of Naomasa Ii, there was a prospect that they might be given a pardon, but Ujimasa and his younger brother, Ujiaki, committed Seppuku on August 10.
Japanese: 井伊直政の情報では一時は助命されるという見通しもあったが、7月11日に氏政と弟・氏照が切腹した。
English: It is possible that the strategy that the Hojo clan took to thoroughly resist the conquest effort by the Toyotomi clan brought about the outcome, different from the one for Ieyasu, the Chosokabe clan and the Shimazu clan.
Japanese: 豊臣家に対して徹底抗戦したことが、家康や長宗我部氏、島津氏征伐の時と異なる一線を画す処置を招いたと考えられる。
English: In the Hojo-ki (a record of the Hojo family), Ujimasa is referred to that 'the fourth family head, Ujimasa, is such a fool that he was deceived by Norihide MATSUDA, a roshin (main retainer) and disturbed the affairs of the state, but due to the virtue of his father, Ujiyasu, he was spared his life.'
Japanese: 北条記においては「四世の氏政は愚か者で、老臣の松田憲秀の悪いたくらみにまどわされ、国政を乱したけれども、まだ父氏康君の武徳のおかげがあって、どうやら無事であった」と評されている。
English: In this document, among the five family heads of the Hojo clan, Ujimasa is the only one who is disrespected this much and called without 'kun' (a suffix to refer to a ruler).
Japanese: ちなみに同資料において、北条5代の当主の中でここまで見下ろされ「君」も付けられていない当主は、氏政だけである。
English: Personally, Ujimasa is known as a person who cared for his family, always kept a good relationship with his capable younger brothers and loved his wife.
Japanese: 個人的には家族思いの人物であったらしく、有能な弟達と常に良好な関係を維持していたのみならず、愛妻家としても知られている。
English: Although he divorced his lawful wife, Obai-in, upon the invasion of Suruga Province by the Takeda clan, Ujimasa hesitated to do so until the last moment, and when Ujimasa was reconciled with the Takeda clan after the death of Ujiyasu, he immediately asked to have the remains of his ex-wife and buried them in a cordial manner.
Japanese: 正妻の黄梅院とは武田の駿河侵攻を機に離婚させられているが、氏政本人は最後まで離婚を渋っており、氏康の死の直後に武田と和睦した際には真っ先に妻の遺骨を貰い受け手厚く葬っている。
English: Although there are many anecdotes on Ujimasa HOJO, most of them are not favorable to Ujimasa.
Japanese: 北条氏政には逸話が多く、一般に知られているものの多くは否定的な印象を与えるものである。
English: At a mealtime, Ujimasa poured a soup on rice once, but poured it again as the soup was not enough.
Japanese: 食事の際に氏政が汁を一度、飯にかけたが、汁が少なかったのでもう一度汁をかけ足した。
English: You have a meal every day, but you still do not know how much soup you need for your rice. The Hojo clan may end in my era.'
Japanese: 「毎日食事をしておきながら、飯にかける汁の量も量れんとは。北条家もわしの代で終わりか。」
English: (Meaning, someone who cannot measure the amount of soup suitable for his rice cannot assess the situation of his territory or vassals right.)
Japanese: （汁かけ飯の量も量れぬ者に、領国や家臣を推し量ることなど出来る訳がない、の意）
English: The fact that Ujimasa could not evade the fall of the Hojo clan made this anecdote famous and also the reputation of Ujimasa very low.
Japanese: 氏政が結果的に北条家の滅亡を回避できなかったことが、この逸話を有名なものにし、氏政の評価を一般的に低いものにしている。
English: Although this anecdote is a fiction written in later years, it seems that the story mock the real story that Ujimasa sent his army to the same battle line over and over again in the confrontation against the Satake clan.
Japanese: この逸話は後世の創作だが、氏政が佐竹氏との対立などで同じ戦線に何度も陣を重ねたことへの揶揄がもとにされていると思われる。
English: Ujimasa saw peasants harvesting wheat and said: 'we should have a lunch with that fresh wheat.'
Japanese: 農民が麦刈りをする様子を氏政が見て、「あの取れたての麦で昼飯にしよう」と言ったという話である。
English: Wheat after harvest cannot be eaten immediately, but requires a process of drying, threshing and pearling before cooking.
Japanese: 刈った麦がそのまますぐ食べられる訳でなく、干し、脱穀し、精白するなどして、ようやく調理できるようになる。
English: Kunpei GAMO (1768 - July 31, 1813) was a Confucian scholar in the late Edo period.
Japanese: 蒲生君平（がもうくんぺい、明和5年（1768年）-文化(元号)10年7月5日（1813年7月31日））は、江戸時代後期の儒学者。
English: He is counted as one of 'Three Bizarre Characters of Kansei Era,' listed together with his contemporaries, Shihei HAYASHI in Sendai and Hikokuro TAKAYAMA in Joshu.
Japanese: 同時代の仙台の林子平・上州の高山彦九郎と共に、「寛政の三奇人」の一人に数えられる。
English: He changed his family name to Gamo in 1788 (when he was 17) according to a story handed down in his family that his ancestor was the lord of the Aizu clan, Uzisato GAMO (when the son of Ujisato, Tatewaki Masayuki GAMO, relocated from Utsunomiya to Aizu, he left the pregnant daughter of Hukuda family in Utsunomiya and his father, Masae, was the fourth-generation descendant).
Japanese: 姓は、天明8年（17歳）に祖先が会津藩主蒲生氏郷であるという家伝（氏郷の子・蒲生帯刀正行が宇都宮から会津に転封の際、福田家の娘を身重の為宇都宮に残していった。それから4代目が父の正栄）に倣い改めた。
English: When he was told that his ancestor was an admirable samurai (Uzisato GAMO) by his grandmother, 'his young heart beat and he could not sleep at night with deep emotion, but the fact was that he was just a son of a townsman and there was no way to change it, so he decided to study hard to establish himself so that he could make himself deserving to have a great ancestor.'
Japanese: 祖母から祖先が立派な武士（蒲生氏郷公）だと聞かされた時「幼い胸は高鳴り感激で夜も眠れないほどだった、しかし今は町人の子でどうにもならない、学問で身を立て立派な祖先に恥じない人になる決意をした」。
English: At the age of around six, he started to study reading, calligraphy, sodoku (reading aloud without comprehension) of shishogokyo (the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism, the Nine Chinese Classics) under a chief priest, Priest Ryokai, at Enmei-in Temple (in Utsunomiya City) in a neighbor town, Izumi-cho, and 'Ihoki' (the narrative of changing the territory) transcribed by Gamo in those days has been passed down to today.
Japanese: 6歳の頃から近所の泉町にある延命院(宇都宮市)で、時の住職・良快和尚の下で読書・習字・四書五経の素読を学び、この折筆写した蒲生氏の「移封記」が今も伝えられる。

English: He entered Reitakusha School run by a Confucian scholar, Sekkyo SUZUKI (who was 29), in Kanuma, who had learned at Shoheiko School (a school run by the Tokugawa shogunate) (when he was 15).
Japanese: 昌平黌で学んだ鹿沼の儒学者鈴木石橋(29歳）の麗澤舎に入塾（15歳）。
English: Even when a flood of Kuro-kawa River washed away the bridge, he took off his clothes and crossed the river, and then walked to school in Kanumashuku without putting them on, wearing only a loincloth with all other clothes and getas (Japanese wooden sandals) on his head, and so he was laughed and called a crazy; like this case he showed his inborn eccentric behavior, but his teacher, Sekkyo, was very fond of Kunpei's personality.
Japanese: 黒川の氾濫で橋が流されても素裸になって渡河し、そのまま着物と下駄を頭の上に乗せて褌ひとつで鹿沼宿の中を塾まで歩いて狂人と笑われるなど生来の奇行ぶりを発揮したが、師・石橋は君平の人柄をこよなく愛した。
English: At the age of 23, he traveled to Mutsu out of the respect to Hikokuro TAKAYAMA, and on the way back, paid a call on Shihei HAYASHI (who was 53) (there are both theories that he could actually meet him and that not).
Japanese: 23歳の時、高山彦九郎を慕い陸奥を旅し、帰路に林子平（53歳）を訪ねた（会えたという説と会えなかったという説がある）。
English: On this occasion, although Shihei had known his name, when he looked at Kunpei's way too shabby clothing, he misread that Kunpei came to beg money, and laughed and said, 'what is your terrible guise, a down-and-out Confucian?'
Japanese: その際、子平は君平の名を知っていたが君平の余りに粗末な身なりを見、銭でも乞いに来たと思い「落ちぶれ儒者、その無様さは何だ」と言って笑った。
English: Then Kunpei yelled indignantly, 'do not be arrogant, this old humbug. You even do not know courtesy,' and came back, which is a famous anecdote about an encounter between two of bizarre characters in Kansei era.
Japanese: そこで君平は憤然とし、「この山師じじいめ礼儀も知らず尊大ぶるな」と怒鳴って引き返したという、寛政の奇人同士の出会いとして有名な逸話がある。
English: Having heard of the infestation of Russian warships, in 1795, he traveled to Mutsu again (on the way back, he visited the graves of his ancestors, Ujisato GAMO and Tatewaki GAMO in Aizu and prostrated himself in front of them).
Japanese: ロシア軍艦の出現を聞き、1795年（寛政7年）、再び陸奥への旅に出る（帰路、会津で先祖蒲生氏郷・蒲生帯刀の墓に額づいている）。
English: In 1807, he wrote "Fujutsui" which urged the necessity of protection of the northern areas, and presented it to the cabinet official of the shogunate (Wakadoshiyori [a post to support senior councils] Tadaakira MIZUNO), but as a result he was put under watch of the Tokugawa shogunate, summoned and was forced to shut himself in the house.
Japanese: 1807年（文化(日本)4年）、北辺防備を唱えた『不恤緯（ふじゅつい）』を著して幕閣（若年寄水野忠成）に献上するが、幕府の警戒するところとなり喚問を受けて閑居させられる。
English: At the age of 32, after the period of mourning his father, Masae, was over, he departed for the travel to investigate all the Imperial mausoleums (December 24, 1799 - July 15, 1800).
Japanese: 父正栄の喪が明けた32歳の時、すべての天皇陵を実際に調べあげる旅に出る（寛政11年11月28日～寛政12年5月24日）。

Japanese: この調査の旅において、友人である僧・良寿の遺骨を携えて天橋立に行き、日本海に散骨したという話は有名。
