English: At that time, the central political world was occupied by the conflict centered around TAIRA no Kiyomori from the Taira family, who had deposed, and Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa, who planned to create a powerful Insei (rule by a retired emperor); Kanezane continued to view both parties with a critical eye.
Japanese: この頃、中央政界は専横を極めた平清盛を中心とする平氏一門と強力な院政を目論む後白河法皇の両者の対立が軸となっていたが、兼実は両者に対して批判的態度を取りつづけた。
English: Since he was not cooperative with the Taira clan, he had to take a stance as a bystander, slightly distant from the central core of the government.
Japanese: 特に平氏に対して非協力的であったことから、政治の中枢から一定距離を置いた傍観者的態度を取らざるを得なかった。
English: When the Taira clan fled from Kyoto to the western countries from the Kinki district in 1183, Kanezane was assigned as an advisor to Goshirakawa-in (the government of the Retired Emperor Goshirakawa) and suggested that Emperor Gotoba should ascend to the throne, but other than this occasion, Kanezane and Goshirakawa-in were not harmonious with each other.

English: He became Daijo-daijin (Grand Minister of State) in 1189 and made his daughter Ninshi KUJO marry the emperor to become Chugu (Empress) in 1190; it seemed that he turned into a powerful presence in the Imperial Court, but he could not easily control the government until 1192, perhaps due to the influence of Goshirakawa-in, and he was inevitably left out in the Imperial Court despite building a cooperative relationship with Yoritomo.
Japanese: 文治5年（1189年）には太政大臣となり、建久元年（1190年）には、娘九条任子を入内させて中宮に冊立、朝廷の第一人者に昇ったかに見えたが、建久3年（1192年）までは後白河院の影響力のため、容易に政権運営が出来ず、頼朝と協力関係を築いたが、反面、朝廷での孤立は否めなかった。
English: Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa passed away in 1192, and Kanezane issued Senge, making Yoritomo a Seii taishogun (literally, "great general who subdues the barbarians"), and performed reconstruction work in Nara; what seemed to be the most flourishing time of the political life of Kanezane came but lasted a short time.
Japanese: 建久3年、後白河法皇が崩じ、この機に頼朝に征夷大将軍を宣下し、奈良の復興事業を実施するなど、兼実の政治生活では一番実り多い時期が到来するが、それも長くは続かなかった。
English: Yoritomo schemed to make his eldest daughter, Ohime, marry the emperor to enter Kokyu (the palace where the emperor's wife and concubines lived); this created a latent hostility against Kanezane himself and his daughter Ninshi, leading to a distant relation between Kanezane and Yoritomo.
Japanese: 頼朝が長女大姫を後鳥羽天皇の後宮に入内させようと工作したことは、兼実自身と娘の任子の潜在的な敵対者を作ることにつながり、両者の関係は冷却した。
English: In addition, Kanezane went against MINAMOTO no Michichika and FUJIWARA no Norisue within the Imperial Court, and with the political change in 1196, lost his position as Kanpaku (chief advisor to the emperor).
Japanese: 宮廷内でも源通親、藤原範季らと対立し、建久7年（1196年）政変によって関白の地位を追われることとなる。
English: Since his promising eldest son Yoshimichi KUJO, who was a Naidaijin (Minister of the Center), had passed away at a young age, Kanezane put his efforts toward his second son, Yoshitsune KUJO, who was under his tutelage while Kanezane grieved for his loss.
