English: However, it is hard to understand why Kagetoki, who had seen what had happened to Yoshitsune, would follow in Yoshitsune's footsteps, and so it seems that he simply wanted to work for the court as a Kyoto samurai because he had connections with the political circle in Kyoto through MINAMOTO no Michichika and the Tokudaiji family.
Japanese: しかし義経の転落を見ていた景時が同じ轍を踏むとは考えられず、源通親や徳大寺家といった京都政界と縁故を持つ景時は、都の武士として朝廷に仕えようとしていたと見られる。
English: Generally, Kagetoki KAJIWARA has an image of "an evil man who made a false claim to trap MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune."
Japanese: 一般に、梶原景時には“源義経を陥れる讒言をした大悪人”のイメージがある。
English: According to the account on Kagetoki's death in "Azuma Kagami," which was edited by the Hojo clan of the Kamakura bakufu later on, 'he behaved outrageously making use of his advantage of being favored by the Shogun for two generations and long-standing evils returned to him in the end.'
Japanese: 鎌倉幕府北条氏による後年の編纂書である『吾妻鏡』では、その死に際する記事で「二代にわたる将軍の寵愛を誇って傍若無人に振る舞い、多年の積悪が遂に身に帰した」と記されている。
English: As for the false claim which caused Kagetoki's expulsion, according to ''Gyokuyo" (Diary of Kanezane KUJO), it was to report to Shogun MINAMOTO no Yoriie that there was a plot to make his brother MINAMOTO no Sanetomo Shogun; considering that Yoriie was expelled and assassinated by the conspiracy of the Hojo clan three years after Kagetoki's expulsion, and Sanetomo became Shogun with Tokimasa HOJO gaining real power, the reality of Kagetoki's expulsion was distorted because of the inconvenience of the Hojo clan and Kagetoki was painted as a villain.
Japanese: 景時追放の原因とされた讒言は、『玉葉』によると将軍源頼家に、その弟源実朝を将軍に担ごうとする陰謀がある事を報告したものであり、景時追放の3年後には北条氏の陰謀によって頼家が追放・暗殺され、実朝が将軍となり北条時政が実権を握っている事から、北条氏に不都合な景時追放の真相は歪曲され、景時を悪人として断じているのである。
English: Because of his position, Kagetoki was an easy target for hatred and it was Tokimasa's daughter and Sanetomo's wet nurse Awa no Tsubone that fuelled and inflamed the dissatisfaction of vassals.
Japanese: 元々その職務から恨みを買いやすい立場であった景時への、御家人たちの不満に火を付けて煽ったのは時政の娘で実朝の乳母である阿波局であった。
English: In war chronicles "Heike Monogatari" and "Genpei Seisui ki," confrontations between Yoshitsune and Kagetoki such as the 'Sakaro Argument' were written in detail.
Japanese: 軍記物語である『平家物語』『源平盛衰記』では、逆櫓論争など義経と景時の対立の話がより具体的に記述されている。
English: In "Gikeiki" (a military epic about the life of Yoshitsune) in which Yoshitsune is the main character, Kagetoki was depicted as his enemy.
Japanese: そして、義経を主人公とする『義経記』では景時は敵役として描写されている。
English: Such images of Kagetoki took a firm hold in the Edo period when popular culture reached a height.
Japanese: 景時のこうしたイメージが本格的に定着したのは、庶民文化が隆盛した江戸時代であった。
English: In Kabuki (traditional performing art) and Kodan story-telling, 'easy-to-understand stories of rewarding-good-and-punishing-evil' were favored, and given the theme of sympathetically rooting for the underdog (in this case Yoshitsune) as a tragic hero, Kagetoki was cast as an evil enemy who had trapped him.
Japanese: 分かり易い勧善懲悪が好まれた歌舞伎や講談で義経を悲劇のヒーローとする判官贔屓とあいまって、敵役の景時はこれを陥れた大悪人とされたのである。
English: In the Meiji period of modern history and literature, Rohan KODA and Aizan YAMAJI decided that the simple sympathy of rooting for the underdog as tragic hero was not good and wrote defenses of Kagetoki as "a man who volunteered a thankless role for Yoritomo."
Japanese: 明治になって近代歴史学・文学の時代になると、幸田露伴や山路愛山などが単純な判官贔屓をよしとせず、“頼朝のために進んで憎まれ役を買っていた”という景時擁護論を著している。
English: On the other hand, in "Gikeiden," Katsumi KUROITA, a professor of the University of Tokyo, praised Yoshitsune and concluded that Kagetoki was "a crafty man of warped disposition."
Japanese: 一方で黒板勝美東京大学教授は、『義経伝』で義経賛美の立場を明らかにするとともに、景時を“奸佞なる人物”と断じた。
English: As he was an authority on historiography, Kuroita's opinion had a great impact, and since then Kagetoki has been written about as 'a person who traps someone else with false claims' in works like biographical dictionaries for a long time.
Japanese: 歴史学の権威であった黒板の見解は影響力を持ち、以後長く辞典類などで景時は「讒言をもって人を陥れる人物」と記述されるようになった。
English: After World War II, many researchers stopped writing with sympathy for the underdog as tragic hero and novelists and readers were not satisfied anymore with traditional one-sided stories of rewarding-good-and-punishing-evil.
Japanese: 戦後になると、研究者はもちろん単純な判官贔屓で記述することはなくなり、作家や読者も旧来の一面的な勧善懲悪的な観点では飽き足らなくなる。
English: While Yoshitsune's uselessness in politics came to be pointed out, Kagetoki came to be recognized as someone who had volunteered a thankless role to establish Yoritomo's samurai government, and who was efficient and bureaucratic although he couldn't be described as a good person.
Japanese: 義経の政治面での無能さが指摘されるようになり、その一方景時は頼朝の武家政権の確立のために進んで憎まれ役を買った、善人とは言えないまでも優れて官僚的な人物であると評価されるようになった。
English: Such viewpoints are seen in historical novels by Shogoro KAIONJI, a novel "Yoshitsune" by Ryotaro SHIBA and a short novel "Kuroseppu" (contained in her Naoki Award winning novel "Enkan") by Michiko NAGAI.
Japanese: この様な見方は海音寺潮五郎の史伝や司馬遼太郎の小説『義経(小説)』、永井路子の短編小説『黒雪賦』（直木賞受賞作『炎環』収録）が代表的である。
English: In influential recent TV dramas, Kagetoki is rarely portrayed as a mere villain.
Japanese: 一般に影響力のある近年のテレビドラマにおいて、景時が単なる大悪人とされることは少ない。
English: In "Kusa Moeru" (Burning Grass) (NHK Historical Drama) (1979, Kagetoki KAJIWARA by Shinji EBARA and MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune by Tomiyuki KUNIHIRO) and "Yoshitsune" (NHK Historical Drama) (2005, Kagetoki KAJIWARA by Akira NAKAO and MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune by Hideaki TAKIZAWA), Kagetoki was portrayed as a loyal, efficient and bureaucratic samurai although Kagetoki had conflicts with Yoshitsune.
Japanese: 大河ドラマ『草燃える』（1979年、梶原景時役：江原真二郎、源義経役：国広富之）、『義経(NHK大河ドラマ)』（2005年、梶原景時役：中尾彬、源義経役：滝沢秀明）では、景時は義経と対立するものの、頼朝への忠誠心の篤い優れて官僚的な武士として扱われている。
English: Of course, there are some dramas that portray Kagetoki as a villain, such as the recent "Minamoto no Yoshitsune" (TBS drama) (1990, Katsuhiko WATABIKI played Kagetoki KAJIWARA and Noriyuki HIGASHIYAMA played MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune).
Japanese: もちろん一方で、景時を大悪人として描くドラマも存在しており、例として近年の作品では『源義経(TBSテレビドラマ1990年)』（1990年、梶原景時役：綿引勝彦、源義経役：東山紀之）がある。
English: As the main character was played by Higashiyama, who was a teenage star at that time, Yoshitsune was extremely beautified, and Yoshitsune did not die but escaped to Ezochi (Hokkaido) in the end; Kagetoki trapped Yoshitsune with his evil intentions, chased him to Hiraizumi and was killed by Yoshitsune: a story line that totally ignored historical facts.
Japanese: 当時の人気アイドルの東山が主演とあって義経は極端に美化され、ラストで義経は死なずに蝦夷地に逃れることになっており、景時は義経を悪意をもって陥れ平泉まで追ってきて義経に討ち取られるという、史実を無視した筋書きの作品である。
English: Although the vague image of 'Kagetoki as a villain' is still going strong generally today, we hardly see the typical villain Kagetoki either in general historical books or in fictional novels and TV dramas.
Japanese: 一般に「梶原景時は悪人」という漠然とした印象は根強くあるが、現在では一般向けの歴史関連書はもちろん、小説やテレビドラマといったフィクションでさえ、類型的な大悪人の景時を目にすることはほとんどないと言える。
English: Atsumaro KONOE 1863-1904 was a peer and statesman in the late Meiji Period.
Japanese: 近衞篤麿（このえあつまろ、文久3年6月26日(旧暦)（1863年8月10日）-明治37年（1904年）1月1日）は、明治後期の華族・政治家。
English: In June 26, 1863, he was born in Kyoto as the first son of Tadafusa KONOE, Sadaijin (minister of the left) and Sada-hime (Princess Sada) who was a daughter of Nariakira SHIMAZU (actually, she was an adopted daughter).
Japanese: 1863年（文久3年）6月26日、左大臣・近衛忠房と島津斉彬娘（実は養女）・貞姫の長男として京都に生まれた。
English: Because his father, Tadafusa died of illness at the age of 35 years old without taking over as head of the family, Atsumaro took over as the head of the family as an adopted child of his grand father, Tadahiro KONOE (according to some historical sources, Atsumaro was the sixth son of Tadahiro).
Japanese: ただし父忠房が1873年（明治6年）に家督を継がないまま35歳の若さで病没したために、祖父近衛忠煕の養子という形で家督を相続した（文献によって、忠煕六男と記しているものもある）。

English: Referring to noble society in Europe, he believed the peerage including him should play a role as hanpei (guarding wall of the imperial family), because the peerage were on the high ground in society.
Japanese: ヨーロッパの貴族社会を参考に、近代日本においても、自分を含めた華族が社会的に優位な地位にあるものとして、政治的・社会的に「皇室の藩屏」としてその役割を果たすことを強く考えた。

English: He considered that the young people from the peerage family should be diplomats or enter the navy after their graduation.
Japanese: また、学習院で学んだ華族の子弟の進路として、日本を支える外交官や陸海軍人になることを考えていた。
English: Because he espoused aristocratism and thought nobles should lead society, it is said he had a critical attitude to domain cliques.
Japanese: このような社会の先達としての貴族主義から、転じて彼の政治姿勢は、藩閥に対して批判的であったとされる。
English: From 1892 to 1904, he kept a critical attitude to the government dominated by domain cliques as a prince-councilor and President of Kizokuin (the House of Peers), he strongly criticized election interference by the first Matsukata cabinet.
Japanese: 貴族院の公爵議員として、そして1892年（明治25年）から1904年（明治37年）まで貴族院議長として歴代の藩閥政府には常に批判的であり、第1次松方内閣の選挙干渉などを厳しく批判した。
English: On the other hand, he criticized other political parties, because political parties acted on the spoils system and became mere cliques.
Japanese: 他方で政党に対しても批判を加えることを忘れず、政党が猟官主義に走る単なる「徒党」と化していることを嘆いていた。
English: After the Sino-Japanese War, he felt a sense of danger about the strenuous movement of powerful countries in Western Europe to split up China.
Japanese: 日清戦争後、西欧列強が中国分割の動きを激しくしていく中で危機感を抱く。
English: In 1898, he formed Dobunkai (an association to study about issues related to China), then Dobunkai and Toakai which was formed by Tsuyoshi INUKAI merged and became Toadobunkai (an association of Pan-Asianism) and Atsumaro KONOE became the president.
Japanese: 1898年（明治31年）に同文会を設立したが、同文会は、犬養毅の東亜会と合併して東亜同文会となり近衛篤麿は同会の会長に就任する。
English: He aimed to bring private association together and unite for a common purpose under the Nationalism and Asianism.
Japanese: かくて、民間諸団体を糾合し国家主義、アジア主義大同団結運動を目論んだ。

Japanese: 東亜同文会はアジア主義的色彩の強い立場に立脚し、中国・朝鮮の保護と日本の権益保護のため、外務省・軍部と密接に提携しながら、1900年（明治33年）に南京同文書院（後の東亜同文書院、その後身愛知大学）を設立するなど対中政治・文化活動の推進を図っていく。
English: On his own accord he approached provincial governors, Kunyi LIU (Viceroy of Liangjiang) and Zhidong ZHANG (Viceroy of Huguang) who had strong power in the Qing dynasty, to propose cooperation between Japan and Ching.
Japanese: また、清朝内で強い権力を持つ地方長官の劉坤一（両江総督）や張之洞（湖広総督）などにも独自に接近、日清の連携をもちかけた。
English: Under the circumstances, in June 1900, Boxer Uprising (the Righteous Harmony Society Movement) were staged centered in North China and Manchuria (present-day north east China) and the Russian Empire occupied Manchuria.
Japanese: そうした中1900年（明治33年）6月、中国の華北や満州（現在の中国東北部）を中心に義和団事変が勃発、これに乗じたロシア帝国が満州を占領下に置いた。
English: KONOE strongly felt a sense of danger about the incident and proposed to take a hard-line stance against Russia and consulted with Hirobumi ITO, former Genro (elder statesman) and Aritomo YAMAGATA but they didn't accept his opinion.
Japanese: これに強い危機感を抱いた近衛は政府元老の伊藤博文や山縣有朋らにロシアに対して強硬な姿勢を取るよう持ちかけたが一蹴された。
English: Then KONOE brought INUKAI, Katunan KUGA, Mitsuru TOYAMA and Chomin NAKAE together, formed Kokumin-domeikai (People's Alliance) and stepped up his criticism of the Japanese government.
Japanese: そこで近衛は犬養・陸羯南・頭山満・中江兆民ら同志を糾合して同年9月に国民同盟会を結成し、日本政府に対する批判をますます強めた。

Japanese: さらに長岡護美に書簡を託し、満州を列国に開放することで領土の保全を図るよう、劉坤一や張之洞に働きかけた。
English: ZHANG was impressed by the idea and he and LIU proposed the idea from KONOE (Hajime NEZU could have been the ghost-writer of this idea) to the central government of the Qing dynasty and asked them to adopt the idea.
Japanese: 張が特にこれに大きく触発され、劉とともにこの近衛の案（根津一などがゴーストライターとして考えられるが）を清朝の中央に上奏し、採用を求めている。
English: The proposal was rejected at that time, but later the idea to open Manchuria was adopted by Shikai YUAN and became a hindrance to the Japanese government, which wanted to monopolize interests in Manchuria.
Japanese: この時は却下されたものの、満州開放案はその後袁世凱も採用し、日露戦争後にはむしろ権益独占を図る日本に対する障害となった。

Japanese: しかし、将来を嘱望されていた矢先、1904年（明治37年）1月1日に死去。
English: He left a large amount of borrowed property, so people who frequently came to visit the family changed their attitude after Atsumaro's death, and the first son, Fumimaro KONOE had a deep trust problem for human beings.

English: As a result, there is a viewpoint that reigns of the family were virtually and substantially succeeded by the Soga clan.
Japanese: これにより、実質的にも形質的にも蘇我氏の家督を継いだという見方がある。

English: Concerning the assassination of Iruka and the ruin of head family of the Soga family that followed the incident, there was in recent years a viewpoint that the fights over the reform leadership between the Soga clan and the imperial families and the anti-Soga power had become the start of the assassination.
