English: Shigemori raised the morale of the members of his army saying that 'we are in the era of Heiji, the capital is Heian, and we are the Taira clan, all having the same character (the character can be read as both Hei and Taira), and so we shall flatten (also the same character as Hei/Taira) our enemy out,' and he engaged in fierce battles against MINAMOTO no Yoshihira, between mandarin orange trees of the Ukon and cherry trees of the Sakon at the Imperial Palace, and then he performed heroically in the Battle of Horikawa with irresistible force as he - after losing his own horse to a volley of arrows - stood up on logs and then climbed upon a new horse.
Japanese: この戦いで重盛は「年号は平治、都は平安、我らは平氏、三つ同じ（平）だ、ならば敵を平らげよう」と味方の士気を鼓舞し、源義平と御所の右近の橘・左近の桜の間で激戦を繰り広げ、堀河の合戦では馬を射られながらも材木の上に立ち上がって新たな馬に乗り換えるなど獅子奮迅の活躍をする。
English: According to "Gukansho," Yoshitomo immediately left the Dairi for Rokuhara; however, it is not certain that there were in fact any battles at the Dairi, and therefore, this could be an embellishment to make the story more thrilling.
Japanese: もっとも『愚管抄』によれば義朝はすぐに内裏を出撃して六波羅に迫ったとあるので、内裏で戦闘が行われたかどうかは定かでなく、話を盛り上げるための創作の可能性もある。
English: Narichika had his life spared since he joined Nobuyori in this battle, but this may in fact be attributed to a plea by Shigemori, whose wife was a younger sister of Narichika, Keishi.
Japanese: この合戦で信頼と行動した成親は助命されるが、成親の妹・経子を妻にしていた重盛の嘆願が背景にあったと推測される。
English: Rewards were granted after the war was over, and Shigemori was appointed to be in charge of Iyo Province as a reward for his distinguished service.
Japanese: 乱の終結後に合戦の恩賞の除目があり、重盛は勲功賞として伊予国に任じられる。
English: In September, 1161, a conspiracy to make the prince born of Goshirakawa and Kenshunmonin, (Imperial Prince Norihito), become the crown prince was revealed.
Japanese: 応保元年（1161年）9月、後白河と建春門院の間に生まれた皇子（高倉天皇親王）を皇太子にしようとする陰謀が発覚した。
English: TAIRA no Tokitada, TAIRA no Norimori, and Narichika were removed from their posts by Emperor Nijo in this incident. However, Kiyomori supported Nijo instead of them, and this resulted in the establishment of Kiyomori's trusworthiness.
Japanese: この事件では平時忠・平教盛・成親らが二条天皇によって解官されるが、清盛は同調せず二条を支援したため、その信任を確固たるものにした。
English: Meanwhile, Shigemori was promoted rapidly, and was assigned to the Shoshiinoge (Senior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade) rank in 1161, to be Uhyoe no kami (Captain of the Right Division of Middle Palace Guards) in October, and to the Jusanmi (Junior Third Rank) rank to become a kugyo in January of the next year when he was only 26 years old.
Japanese: 重盛の昇進も目覚ましく、応保2年（1161年）正月に正四位下、10月に右兵衛督、翌年正月には26歳の若さで、従三位に叙せられ公卿となった。
English: While supporting the political control by Nijo, Kiyomori at the same time never forgot to show consideration for Goshirakawa, and built the Rengeo-in Temple for him.
Japanese: 清盛は二条の親政を支える一方で後白河に対しても配慮を怠らず、後白河のために蓮華王院を造営した。
English: In February 1164, as a prize from his father for building the Rengeo-in Temple, Shigemori was assigned to the Shosanmi (Senior Third Rank) rank.
Japanese: 長寛2年（1164年）2月、父から造営の賞を譲られた重盛は、正三位に叙された。
English: In September, in hopes for the prosperity of his clan, he donated 33 volumes of the Decorated Sutras (Heike nokyo) to the Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, and for this, Shigemori also participated in its creation with other clan and family members.
Japanese: 9月、清盛は一門の繁栄を祈願して、厳島神社に装飾経33巻（平家納経）を寄進するが、重盛も一門・家人とともに製作に携わった。
English: Being in serious condition, Emperor Nijo appointed Shigemori to be Sangi (Royal Advisor) in May, abdicated the throne to his son Emperor Rokujo and also established an administrative organization under direct control of the emperor in June, and appointed Shigemori to Shitsuji betto (chief officer), showing his tenacity of purpose through these acts, but he finally passed away in July.
Japanese: 重態となった二条天皇は5月に重盛を参議に任じ、6月に皇子・六条天皇に譲位、院庁を開設して執事別当に重盛を指名するなど最期まで執念を見せるが、7月に崩御した。
English: Then, a system was established wherein the Taira clan and the Sekkan-ke (the families which produced the Regent and the Chief Adviser to the Emperor) supported Emperor Rokujo, and Shigemori was appointed to Sahyoe no kami (Captain of the Left Division of Middle Palace Guards) in April, 1166, and was appointed to be Gon Chunagon (a provisional vice-councilor of state) and Uemon no kami (Captain of the Right Division of Outer Palace Guards) at the same time in July.
Japanese: 六条天皇を平氏と摂関家が支える体制が成立し、重盛は永万2年（1166年）4月に左兵衛督、7月には権中納言・右衛門督となった。
English: The Taira clan removed itself from the Nijo political sect and supported the Retired Emperor Goshirakawa, which contributed to the investiture of Imperial Prince Norihito in October 1166.
Japanese: 平氏が二条親政派から離脱して後白河上皇を支持したことにより、仁安(日本)元年（1166年）10月に憲仁親王の立太子が実現した。
English: Shigemori's wife, Keishi, and a daughter of FUJIWARA no Kunitsuna, Tsunako, were selected as nannies of Imperial Prince Norihito, and so Shigemori was the husband of a nanny.
Japanese: 憲仁親王の乳母には重盛の室・経子と藤原邦綱の女・綱子が選ばれ、重盛は乳父（めのと）になった。
English: Kiyomori resigned as Chancellor of the State on May 17; however, before his resignation, on May 10 Shigemori received a written imperial order to hunt down and kill bandits and pirates in Higashiyama, Tokai, Sanyo, and Nankai-do ("Heihanki" (diary of TAIRA no Nobunori)).
Japanese: 清盛は5月17日に太政大臣を辞任するが、それに先立つ5月10日、重盛に対して東山・東海・山陽・南海道の山賊・海賊追討宣旨が下された（『兵範記』）。
English: This event marked an official transfer of the rights associated with national military and police affairs to Shigemori, and he therefore established his position as a successor to Kiyomori.
Japanese: これにより、重盛は国家的軍事・警察権を正式に委任され、清盛の後継者としての地位を名実ともに確立した。
English: Furthermore, Shigemori was the most powerful economically within his clan as he had Tango and Echizen Provinces as his chigyokoku.
Japanese: さらに重盛は丹後国・越前国を知行国として、経済的にも一門の中で優位にあった。
English: After the succession, Shigemori most likely fell ill, and he therefore failed to attend the Goshohajime (ceremony to learn how to read under the guidance of professors) held at the Togu (Crown Prince's Quarters) in December since, as he put it, he 'has been ill' and 'has been feeling uncomfortable,' and also, he let someone else assume the shokei (master of ceremony) post at the Daijoe (commemoration of the five major Mahayana Buddhist sutras).
Japanese: 後継者となった重盛だが健康を害したらしく、「日来所労」「昨今不快」により12月の東宮の御書始を欠席し、大乗会の上卿も交替する。
English: Concerned about unstable political conditions, Goshirakawa made Norihito (Emperor Takakura) ascend the throne in the hope of stabilizing the regime.
Japanese: 政情不安を危惧した後白河は憲仁を即位させ（高倉天皇）、体制の安定を図った。
English: After entering the priesthood, Kiyomori secluded himself from the world in Fukuhara, while Shigemori remained in Rokuhara to lead the clan.
Japanese: 出家後の清盛は福原に退隠し、六波羅には重盛が残って一門の統率にあたった。
English: During the Yasoshima-sai festival in November 1169, Emperor Takakura left Shigemori's residence in Rokuhara, and Shigemori's wife Keishi served as an imperial messenger.
Japanese: 嘉応元年（1169年）11月の八十嶋祭で高倉天皇は重盛の六波羅邸から出立し、重盛室の経子が勅使役を勤めている。
English: In December 1169, armed priests of the Enryaku-ji Temple made a petition for deportation of FUJIWARA no Narichika, who was an older brother-in-law of Shigemori and also the head of his own chigyokoku, Owari Province.
Japanese: 嘉応元年（1169年）12月、延暦寺の大衆が、重盛の義兄で尾張国の知行国主・藤原成親の流罪を求めて強訴を起こした。
English: The armed priests boosted their morale by surrounding the Dairi, and advised Kebiishi betto (superintendent of the Imperial Police) Tokitada to take immediate action, such as dispatching the imperial army.
Japanese: 大衆は内裏を取り囲んで気勢を上げ、検非違使別当・時忠は官兵の派遣など早急な対策をとることを進言する。
English: Because the majority of kugyo agreed that they were against risking a battle, and also, because Shigemori refused to follow the operation order that was issued three times by Goshirakawa, Goshirakawain agreed to deport Narichika.
Japanese: 公卿の議定では慎重論が大勢を占め、重盛も後白河の三度に渡る出動命令を拒否したため、やむを得ず後白河院は成親の流罪を認めた。
English: Goshirakawain, however, quickly executed a comeback operation and assigned Narichika to Kebiishi betto, resulting in the removal of Tokitada from his post and then his deportation instead of Narichika.
Japanese: しかし、すぐに巻き返しに転じて成親を検非違使別当に任命、時忠は解任され身代わりに配流とされてしまう。
English: The conflict between Goshirakawain and the Enryaku-ji Temple worsened; and, concerned over the situation Kiyomori called Shigemori over to Fukuhara on January 14 and demanded a report of the situation.
Japanese: 後白河院と延暦寺の対立は悪化の一途をたどり、事態を憂慮した清盛は正月14日、重盛を福原に呼び寄せて状況を報告させた。
English: As described above, although Shigemori was the leader of the clan, Kiyomori's decisions were prioritized for important matters; therefore, Shigemori's desires and actions were very much limited.
Japanese: このように重盛は一門の代表とはいえ、重要案件については清盛の判断が優先していて、自らの意思・行動はかなり制約されていた。
English: On July 3 1170, which was the first day of the hakko event (eight lectures on the Lotus Sutra) at the Hossho-ji Temple, a servant of the regent Motofusa MATSUDONO reproached TAIRA no Sukemori's party for their impolite behavior and humiliated them on the way to the temple.
Japanese: 嘉応2年（1170年）7月3日、法勝寺八講の初日、摂政・松殿基房の従者が参詣途中で出会った平資盛の車の無礼をとがめて恥辱を与えた。
English: Motofusa later came to know that it was the party of the son of Shigemori and was horrified; so, he immediately made apologies by sending a servant to Shigemori, but Shigemori declined the offer.
Japanese: その後、重盛の子の車と知った基房は震え上がり、ただちに下手人を重盛のもとに引き渡して謝罪するが、重盛は申し出を拒絶した。
English: On October 21, after things seemed to have calmed down, a warrior serving Shigemori attacked and assaulted Motofusa's servant when Motofusa was on his way to the Imperial Palace to celebrate the Emperor reaching the age of maturity.
Japanese: ほとぼりが冷めたと思われた10月21日、天皇の元服定のため基房が参内する途中、重盛の武者が基房の従者を襲い乱暴を働いた。
English: Jien, who highly praised Shigemori, felt confused about this incident saying 'that was something that went beyond my understanding' ("Gukansho").
Japanese: 重盛を高く評価する慈円も、さすがにこの事件に関しては「不可思議ノ事ヲ一ツシタリシナリ」（『愚管抄』）と困惑している。
English: TAIRA no Chinamune, a brother of Kenshunmonin, and Munemori, who had been promoted to Chunagon (vice-councilor of state) by then and who also was a younger half brother of Shigemori, conducted the ceremony.
Japanese: この儀式の進行に携わったのは、建春門院の兄弟・平親宗と中納言に昇進していた異母弟・宗盛だった。
English: In December, 1171, taking the marriage of Tokuko, a daughter of Kiyomori, and Emperor Takakura, Shigemori returned to the Gon Dainagon post.
Japanese: 承安(日本)元年（1171年）12月、清盛の女・徳子が高倉天皇に入内したのを機に、重盛は権大納言に復帰する。
English: In April 1173, when there was a fire at the Kaya gosho palace in Hojyu-ji Temple, Shigemori quickly came to the scene to put out the fire and was then praised by Goshirakawa ("Kenshomonin Chunagon's Diary").
Japanese: 承安3年（1173年）4月、法住寺殿の萱御所の火災ではいち早く駆けつけて消火活動にあたり、後白河から称えられた（『建春門院中納言日記』）。
English: When there was a petition by armed priests of the Nanto sect in the winter of the same year, Shigemori, following the imperial order, sent one of his family members, TAIRA no Sadayoshi, to Uji.
Japanese: 同年冬の南都大衆の強訴に対しては、院宣により家人・平貞能を宇治に派遣して防備に当たらせた。
English: In July, Shigemori was assigned to the Ukone no daisho Ukone no daisho (Major Captain of the Right Division of Inner Palace Guards) post which was at the time vacant.
Japanese: 承安4年（1174年）7月、重盛は空席となっていた右近衛大将に任じられる。
English: Shigemori was greatly pleased by this appointment, and Kunitsuna, 10 kugyo, and 27 tenjo-bito (a high-ranking courtier allowed into the Imperial Palace) therefore attended the celebration held on the 21st.
Japanese: この任官に対して清盛の喜びは大きく、21日の拝賀の儀式には邦綱以下公卿10人、殿上人27人が付き従った。
English: In January, 1176, Shigemori as the head of the clan, attended the celebration of Goshirakawa's 50th birthday, showing a close and favorable relationship between the Taira clan and Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa.
Japanese: 安元2年（1176年）正月、後白河の50歳の賀には重盛も一門の筆頭として出席、平氏と後白河法皇の蜜月ぶりを示した。
English: After the death of Kenshomonin in July, however, conflicts between the Taira clan and the Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa gradually surfaced.
Japanese: しかし、7月に建春門院が死去したことで平氏と後白河法皇の対立はしだいに顕在化することになる。
English: Nevertheless, in January next year, Shigemori was assigned to the Sakone no daisho (Major Captain of the Left Division of Inner Palace Guards) and Munemori was assigned to Ukone no daisho, resulting in the Taira clan dominating both daisho posts.
Japanese: それでも翌年正月には重盛が左近衛大将、宗盛が右近衛大将となり、両大将を平氏が独占する。
English: The Inner Minister post became vacant as FUJIWARA no Moronaga was assigned to Chancellor of the State, and in March, Shigemori was assigned to Inner Minister.
Japanese: 3月には藤原師長が太政大臣となったことで空席となった内大臣に任じられる。
English: The time passed as if nothing of concern was happening - this is represented by the visit to Fukuhara by the Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa.
Japanese: 後白河法皇も福原を訪れるなど、表面的には何事もなく時は過ぎていった。
English: However, in April, members of the Enryaku-ji Temple made a direct petition to deport FUJIWARA no Morotaka of Kaga Province.
Japanese: しかし、4月になると延暦寺が加賀国・藤原師高の流罪を要求して強訴を起こす。
English: The outset of the direct petition was a dispute between one of the branch temples called Shirayama-ji Temple and a local agent; and, the impact of this dispute expanded into a full conflict between the Emperor and Enryaku-ji temple.
Japanese: 発端は延暦寺の末寺・白山と現地の目代の紛争で、中央に波及して院と延暦寺の全面衝突となった。
English: Shigemori, leading the imperial army, guarded the Kanin dairi palace and fought against the armed priests, but he accidentally created a scandal when an arrow shot by one of his family members hit the portable shrine.
Japanese: この時、官兵を率いた重盛は閑院内裏を警護して大衆と対峙していたが、家人の放った矢が神輿の当たるという不祥事を引き起こした。
English: Although Emperor Takakura was evacuated to the Hojuji-dono palace and Goshirakawa attempted to eliminate the armed priests by force, Goshirakawa faced an opposition saying that Kyoto may become a war zone, and also, the Taira clan, those that would actually fight the battle, were quite hesitant to be in a conflict with Enryaku-ji Temple; therefore, Goshirakawa abandoned his attempt, accepted the request and deported Morotaka, and imprisoned Shigemori's family member who had shot the portable shrine.
Japanese: 高倉天皇は法住寺殿に避難し、後白河は大衆を実力で排除しようとするが、京都が戦場になる可能性があると反対の声が上がり、実際に出動する平氏一門も、延暦寺との衝突には極めて消極的な態度をとったために断念、大衆の要求を受諾して師高の配流・神輿を射た重盛の家人の投獄を行った。
English: Then, the 'Taro shobo' conflagration occurred, and the Daigokuden and a total of 13 kanpaku (chief adviser to the Emperor) and kugyo residences were burned down.
Japanese: その後、「太郎焼亡」と呼ばれる大火が発生し、太極殿・関白以下13人の公卿の邸宅が焼失する。
English: In May, upon deciding to retaliate against the Enryaku-ji Temple, Goshirakawa dismissed Myoun who was Tendai zasu (a chief priest of the Tendai sect of Buddhism), seized his land, and issued an order to deport him to Izu Province.
Japanese: 5月、後白河は延暦寺に報復を決意すると、天台座主・明雲を解任、所領を没収して伊豆国への配流を命じた。
English: Myoun was however rescued by armed priests, and Goshirakawa therefore summoned Shigemori and Munemori and ordered an attack against Enryaku-ji Temple.
Japanese: しかし明雲の身柄は大衆に奪還されたため、後白河は重盛・宗盛を呼び出して延暦寺への攻撃を命じた。
English: As Kiyomori responded that he 'would not make any actions unless ordered by Kiyomori,' the Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa thought a conversation with Shigemori would be a waste of time and therefore called Kiyomori over from Fukuhara.
Japanese: 重盛らは「清盛の指示がなければ動かない」と返答したため、話にならないと見た後白河法皇は、清盛を福原から呼び出した。
English: Kiyomori also was reluctant to dispatch troops, but since the Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa maintained a hard-line stance, Kiyomori approved the dispatch of troops against his will.
Japanese: 清盛も出兵には消極的だったが後白河法皇は強硬姿勢を崩さず、やむを得ず出兵を承諾した。
English: Shigemori's older brother-in-law Narichika was involved in this incident, and Shigemori cheered up the captured Narichika saying that he 'would not let him die' ("Gukansho").
Japanese: この事件では重盛の義兄・成親も関与していて、重盛は捕らえられた成親に「命だけは助かるようにする」と励ましたという（『愚管抄』）。
English: Kiyomori was outraged, and as a result, Narichika was deported to Bizen Province, and those who took part in the incident were all arrested (Shishigatani Incident).
Japanese: 清盛の怒りは凄まじく、成親は備前国へ配流され関係者も一網打尽に検挙された（鹿ケ谷の陰謀）。
English: Shigemori resigned from the position of sadaisho (Major Captain the Left Division of Inner Palace Guards) to show his resistance and tried hard to save deported Narichika by, for example, secretly sending clothes to him; however, in July, Narichika was killed.
Japanese: 重盛は左大将を辞任して抗議の姿勢を見せ、配流された成親に密かに衣類を送るなど必死の努力をするが、7月に成親は殺害された。
English: Shigemori and Narichika had a close relationship; for example, Shigemori married his son Koremori off to a daughter of Narichika.
Japanese: 重盛は嫡子・維盛の妻に成親の女を迎えるなど、成親と親密な関係だった。
English: Shigemori valued Narichika as a negotiator and a connection to Goshirakawa and expected him to inform the Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa of the requests of the Taira clan.
Japanese: 重盛は成親を、後白河に対する交渉窓口・パイプ役として重視し、後白河法皇に平氏の要望を取り次ぐ役割を期待していた。
English: Because of the fact that Narichika actually was the leader of the conspiracy to bring down the Taira clan, Shigemori was greatly ashamed and lost his political standing.
Japanese: その成親が平氏打倒の首謀者であったことで、重盛の面目は丸潰れとなり政治的地位を失墜させることになった。
English: This incident dispirited Shigemori, and caused him to hardly make appearances on the political stage.
Japanese: この事件により重盛は無気力となり、政治の表舞台にはほとんど姿を見せなくなる。
English: In February 1178, Shigemori offered his resignation as Inner Minister, but his offer was declined because chugu (the second consort of an emperor) Tokuko became pregnant and Shigemori was the father of the chugu.
Japanese: 治承2年（1178年）2月には内大臣の辞任を申し出るが、中宮・徳子が懐妊したため、中宮の父とされていた重盛の辞任は認められなかった。
English: In February 1179, Shigemori attended the celebration for the 100th day since the birth of Togu (the Crown Prince), but he often stayed home due to illness.
Japanese: 治承3年（1179年）2月、重盛は東宮の百日（ももか）の祝に出席するが、病により家に籠もるようになる。
English: Around the same time, Moriko, a daughter of Kiyomori, died, and Goshirakawa started to control the land of the Sekkan-ke that Moriko inherited and increased pressure on the Taira clan.
Japanese: 時を同じくして清盛の女・盛子も亡くなっているが、後白河は盛子の相続していた摂関家領を自らの管理下に置き、平氏への圧力を強めていた。
English: In October, the Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa seized Echizen, the chigyokoku that Shigemori had controlled since 1166.
Japanese: 10月、仁安(日本)元年（1166年）以来の重盛の知行国・越前が、後白河法皇によって没収された。
English: In the following month, the relationship between Kiyomori and Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa completely fell part, and the Goshirakawa cloister government ended by Coup in the Third Year of Jisho.
Japanese: 翌月、清盛と後白河法皇の関係は完全に破綻、治承三年の政変によって後白河院政は停止される。
English: People who lived in the same time period as Shigemori often regarded him as a 'kind person who sent his messenger when something occurred ("Sankaiki" (diary by Tadachika NAKAYAMA)),' 'a person of a very beautiful mind ("Gukansho"),' and 'a very calm person even though he was braver than anyone ("Hyakurensho" (History book from the Kamakura period)),' and therefore, he was an excellent warrior yet at the same time calm and considerate (however, Kanezane KUJO disliked Shigemori and scorned him in his personal diary).
Japanese: 重盛に対する同時代人の評価は、「かくの如きの時、必ず使を送られ殊に芳心（親切な心）を致されるなり」（『山槐記』）、「イミジク心ウルハシク」（『愚管抄』）、「武勇時輩にすぐると雖も、心懆甚だ穏やかなり」（『百錬抄』）など好意的なものが多く、優れた武人であると同時に穏和で気配りのできる人物だった（ただし九条兼実は重盛を嫌っていて、非難の言葉を日記に記している）。
English: To the messenger that Tadachika NAKAYAMA sent, Shigemori expressed his gratitude saying that 'my long-time desire came true and I was extremely pleased.'
Japanese: 中山忠親の送った見舞いの使者に対しても「年来の素懐、障りなく遂げおはんぬ。喜悦きはまりなし」と返礼を述べている。
English: Because of his warm and sincere personality, he was very much trusted by Goshirakawa, and the fact that he was portrayed as the reasonable one of the Taira clan in the "Tale of the Heike" was because information on his personality was passed down to later generations.
Japanese: その温厚・誠実な人柄で後白河の信任も厚く、『平家物語』において平氏一門の良識派的な存在とされていることも、その人柄が後世に伝わっていたことによると思われる。
English: However, Shigemori, who was forced to stand between Kiyomori and Goshirakawa, did not necessarily have total control even though he was the leader of the Taira clan.
Japanese: しかし、清盛と後白河の間に立たされた重盛は、平氏の棟梁とはいっても全権を掌握していたわけではなかった。
English: He had to contain himself and served as a coordinator, and this probably contributed to the formation of his mild and quiet personality.
Japanese: 自らの意思を封じ込め調整役に回らざるを得ない立場が、彼の温厚な性格を形成したといえる。
English: Note that this personality was not the one that he was born with; it is believed that he developed it through effort and self-control.
Japanese: しかし、その性格は本来のものではなく、努力と自己抑制による後天的なものと思われる。
English: The valiant and lively personality seen in the Hogen and Heiji Wars disappeared, but how he acted in the Tenga no noriai incident suggests that he was in fact hiding his intense emotions.
Japanese: 保元・平治の乱での勇猛で生き生きとした姿は影を潜めるが、殿下乗合事件を見ると、激しい感情を心の底に隠していたと考えられる。
English: Shigemori supposedly mumbled that 'if I try to be faithful to the Emperor, I cannot be a good son, and if I try to be a good son, then I cannot be faithful to the Emperor (Nihon gaishi),' but it is not certain if this is historical fact. However, since in Gukansho he also left words of hopelessness saying that 'I want to die early,' he may have actually said it considering the fact that he was powerless standing between Kiyomori and Goshirakawa who were in conflict with each other.
Japanese: 重盛がつぶやいたという「忠ならんと欲すれば孝ならず、孝ならんとすれば欲すれば忠ならず」（『日本外史』）の言葉も史実かどうかは不明だが、『愚管抄』でも重盛は「トク死ナバヤ（早く死にたいものだ）」と生きることに望みを失った言葉を残しており、清盛と後白河の対立の中で無力であった状況を考えれば、あり得ない話ではない。
English: Shigemori's mother was of low birth and he therefore did not have any powerful relatives that could support him, and also, his younger brother by the same mother, Motomori, died young, and these facts are believed to have deepened Shigemori's loneliness.
Japanese: 重盛の母は身分が低かったため、支えてくれる有力な親族を持たず、同母弟の基盛が早くに死去していたことも、重盛の孤立感を深めたと推測される。
English: The death of Shigemori meant the loss of the last defense against a conflict between Kiyomori and the Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa, and as a result, the alliance between them completely fell apart.
Japanese: 重盛の死は、清盛と後白河法皇の対立を抑えていた最後の歯止めが失われたことを意味し、両者の同盟関係を完全に崩壊させることになった。
English: Recently, however, the theory that the portrait was actually Takauji ASHIKAGA's portrait has been widely accepted, causing debates (three portraits at Jingo-ji Temple).
Japanese: だが、近年、足利尊氏の肖像画ではないかという説が有力となってきているため、論争となっている（神護寺三像）。
English: "Shin Heike Monogatari" (starring Daijiro HARADA, 1972 NHK taiga drama)
Japanese: 『新・平家物語(NHK大河ドラマ)』（1972年NHK大河ドラマ、演：原田大二郎）
English: "Yoshitsune" (starring Masanobu KATSUMURA, 2005 NHK taiga drama)
Japanese: 『義経(NHK大河ドラマ)』（2005年NHK大河ドラマ、演：勝村政信）
English: Being born of different mothers and disparate in age, there were seeds of conflict growing between Shigemori and Munemori from the beginning.
Japanese: 母が異なり年齢も離れていたため、当初から重盛と宗盛の間には対立の芽が内包されていた。
English: The conflict between them led to the fracturing of the Komatsu family away from the clan and the control of Munemori, and helped to cause disruption within the clan.
Japanese: 両者の溝はやがて大きな亀裂となり、小松家が宗盛の統制を離れて一門の分裂を起こす要因となる。
English: After the Hogen no ran War (turmoil of the Hogen war) was concluded, FUJIWARA no Shinzei worked on national administrative reform and the Dai-dairi (place of the Imperial Palace and government offices) was reconstructed under Shinzei's leadership in October of 1157.
Japanese: 保元の乱が終結すると藤原信西は国政改革に取り組み、保元2年（1157年）10月、信西の主導により大内裏が再建された。
English: On October 22, Shigemori, TAIRA no Yorimori, TAIRA no Norimori and TAIRA no Tsunemori were all promoted in reward for the reconstruction of Dairi castle (Source: Article for this day in "Heihanki (TAIRA no Nobunori's diary)").
Japanese: 10月22日には内裏造営の賞として叙位が行われ、重盛・平頼盛・平教盛・平経盛にそれぞれ位階の昇叙があった（『兵範記』同日条）。
