English: After surrendering the castle, his skill of shooting was valued, and Ujimitsu was called to serve Hideyoshi and Toshiie MAEDA, with a stipend of more than 3,000 koku crop yield.
Japanese: 落城後銃撃の腕を評価されて秀吉、前田利家に召しだされて3千石余を与えられる。
English: In addition, Ujimitsu's son Ujioki became a Hatamoto (direct retainer) of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and was conferred a territory of more than 2,000 koku crop yield in Kazusa Province, and in the Hoei era, when the clan was holding the position of Ongoku-bugyo (the collective name if the magistrates placed at important areas directly controlled by the government in the Edo period) in the generation of Noritada, he recovered the sei (authentic surname) of Akamatsu, and after that, the family persisted as Hatamoto with a stipend of more than 5,000 koku crop yield until the end of the Edo period.
Japanese: 氏満の子の氏置は徳川家の旗本となり上総に2千石余を得て、宝永年間の遠国奉行・範恭の代に赤松姓に復して5千石余の旗本として幕末まで存続。
English: Noritada, who was the 10th generation counting from Ujimitsu, lived at the end of the Edo period and consecutively held important positions such as the head of military patrol, magistrate of Kobusho (martial arts training institute), Osoba-goyotoritsugi (a military attache and attendant to Shogun to announce a visitor and convey the message), and magistrate of foreign affairs and so on.
Japanese: 氏満から数えて10代目に当たる幕末の範忠は書院番頭・講武所奉行・御側御用取次・外国奉行等を歴任した。
English: According to a theory he was Kotaiyoriai (a rotating member of the top decision making organ, a family status of samurai warriors in the Edo period) for a while, judging from the fact that he constructed a jinya (regional government office) in Shimoyue, Kazusa Province (Dubious authenticity.)
Japanese: 上総下湯江に陣屋を築いていた事から、一時交代寄合だったとする説もある（真偽不明）。
English: Toyouji ARIMA, who was the head of the Settsu Arima clan and the descendant of Yoshisuke ARIMA, the fifth son of Norisuke AKAMATSU, was granted a territory of 210,000 koku in the Kurume Domain in Chikugo Province, due to the support to the East squad in the Battle of Sekigahara as well as in the Siege of Osaka where he also achieved distinguished performance, and the treatment he received contrasted markedly with the harsh fate of the head family.
Japanese: 赤松則祐の5男有馬義祐の後裔で摂津有馬氏当主・有馬豊氏は関ヶ原の戦いで東軍に属し、大坂の役においても徳川方で功を挙げたことにより筑後国久留米藩に21万石を与えられ、宗家と明暗を分けている。
English: This family lineage prospered as ascended to be the daimyo (feudal lord) of Ise Saijo Domain in the Kyoho era, as well as the Kurume Domain.
Japanese: この家系は久留米藩のほかに、享保年間には伊勢西条藩の大名に昇格するなど繁栄した。
English: Noritsuna ARIMA, the son of Norikazu ISHINO who was a direct retainer of a branch of the hatamoto Akamatsu family, became an adopted son of the Kurume Arima family, since the family had no heir, and Noritsuna succeeded the reign of the Arima family.
Japanese: また、旗本赤松家の分家の旗本だった石野則員の子・有馬則維は嗣子のなかった久留米有馬家に養子に入り、家督を相続した。
English: The Oshu Fujiwara clan was the clan whose power stretched over the entire Tohoku region, which centered on Hiraizumi in Mutsu Province (later Rikuchu Province) and included Dewa Province, from 1087 after the Zenkunen War (the Early Nine Years' War) and the Gosannen War (the Later Three Years' War) to 1189, when it was destroyed by MINAMOTO no Yoritomo.
Japanese: 奥州藤原氏（おうしゅうふじわらし）は前九年の役・後三年の役の後の寛治元年（1087年）から源頼朝に滅ぼされる文治5年（1189年）までの間、陸奥国（後の陸中国）平泉を中心に出羽国を含む東北地方一帯に勢力を張った一族である。
English: According to some genealogies, FUJIWARA no Yorito, a remote ancestor of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, was "Taro (a word used to express the first, biggest or best things) Taihu (officers whose rank were Goi [Fifth Rank] or above), a resident of Shimousa Province," but it is not clear how and why he moved to Mutsu Province (later, Rikuchu Province).
Japanese: 奥州藤原氏の遠祖である藤原頼遠は諸系図によると「太郎太夫下総国住人」であったと記され、陸奥国（後の陸中国）に移住した経緯はよく分かっていない。
English: However, from the fact that Yorito bore no official title while his father, FUJIWARA no Masayori, was titled Jugoinoge (Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade), it is inferred that Yorito was demoted to Mutsu Province by the Imperial Court for his having taken Tadatsune's side during the revolt of TAIRA no Tadatsune and became an official of Taga no Kou (the provincial office in Mutsu Province).
Japanese: しかし父親の藤原正頼が従五位下であったことと比較し頼遠が無官であることから、平忠常の乱において平忠常側についた頼遠が罪を得て陸奥国に左遷され、多賀国府の官人となったものと推測されている。
English: Yet, there is an opposing opinion to it, which claims that it is unthinkable that Yorito was punished for his implication in Tadatsune's revolt on the ground that even Tadatsune's sons were not punished on this occasion.
Japanese: ただしこの意見には、平忠常の乱では忠常の息子たちも罪を得ていないので頼遠連座はあり得ないとの反論がある。
English: At the time of Yorito's son, FUJIWARA no Tsunekiyo (Gon no daibu [a provisional master] of the Watari region), the clan managed a shoen (a manor in medieval Japan) in the Watari region, which is the implication of the expansion of the clan's power.
Japanese: 頼遠の子・藤原経清（亘理権大夫）に至り、亘理地方に荘園を経営するなど勢力の伸張が見られた。
English: Additionally, Tsunekiyo married a daughter of ABE no Yoritoki, a member of the local ruling family who controlled Okuroku-gun (six counties in the middle of Mutsu Province) in Mutsu Province, to form a relative alliance with them and took charge of the south side defense of the Abe clan's family territory.
Japanese: また経清は陸奥奥六郡を牛耳る豪族・安倍頼時の娘を娶って縁戚関係を結び、安倍氏一門の南方の固めとなっていた。
English: There is a theory which says that he had worked as shurishiki (a government officer responsible for the construction and repair of buildings in the Imperial Palace) in Kyoto for several years since 1040 on the recommendation of kokufu (a provincial office) and that he returned to his hometown accompanying Mutsu no Kami (the governor of Mutsu Province), FUJIWARA no Narito.
Japanese: 長久元年（1040年）より国府の推挙により数ヵ年修理職として在京し、陸奥国・藤原登任の下向に同行し帰省したとの説もある。
English: The question whether the Oshu Fujiwara clan was actually related to the Fujiwara clan had not been settled for a long time.
Japanese: なお奥州藤原氏が実際に藤原氏の係累であるかについては長年疑問符がつけられていた。
English: However, a recent study has identified the name "FUJIWARA no Tsunekiyo" on the list of the names of the Fujiwara clan members whose official ranks were Goi (Fifth Rank) or above, written in 'Zo Kofuku-ji ki' (the document about the reconstruction of Kofuku-ji Temple) made in 1047.
Japanese: しかし、近年の研究では藤原経清について永承2年（1047年）の五位以上の藤原氏交名を記した「造興福寺記」に名前が見えている。
English: Moreover, in this document, Tsunekiyo was treated on an equal basis with FUJIWARA no Tokisada, who resided in Mutsu Province around the time and later became Gon no kami (a provisional governor).
Japanese: さらに、同時期に陸奥国在住で後に権守となった藤原説貞と同格に扱われている。
English: From these facts, although whether the Oshu Fujiwara clan was in fact related to the Fujiwara clan is still not clear, at least it was validated that the Sekke family (a lineage of regents and advisers, namely the Fujiwara clan at that time) recognized Tsunekiyo as someone who had a relation to the Fujiwara clan (Kofuku-ji Temple was an uji-dera temple [a temple built to pray for a clan's glory] of the Sekke family).
Japanese: そのことから実際に藤原氏の一族であったかはともかく、少なくとも当時の摂家から一族の係累に連なる者と認められていたことは確認されている（興福寺は摂家の氏寺である）。
English: It is also thought that Tsunekiyo was an influential person in Watari County who was titled Goi (Fifth Rank) and that it is very likely that he was a candidate for Gon no kami (a provisional governor) of Mutsu Province among zaichokanjin (locally hired government officials during the Heian period), although there are no historical materials that can validate it for sure.
Japanese: また確たる史料はないものの亘理郡の有力者で五位に叙せられ、陸奥の在庁官人として権守候補であった可能性は高いと見られている。
English: In and after the Yayoi period, people who belonged to the Jomon culture (an ancient culture in Japan) or the Satsumon culture (an ancient culture in Hokkaido) continually moved southward from Hokkaido to settle in the Tohoku region; therefore, historically the Tohoku region followed a different path from that of the region south of Kanto.
Japanese: 東北地方は弥生時代以降も続縄文文化や擦文文化に属する人々が北海道から南下して住み着くなど、関東以南とは異なる歴史を辿った。
English: Although the central government had less control there than in the south of the Kanto region, it set up Mutsu and Dewa Provinces in the area during the era ruled under the ritsuryo system.
Japanese: 中央政権の支配も関東以南ほど強くは及んでいなかったが律令制の時代には陸奥国と出羽国が置かれた。
English: There, descendants of Ezo (peoples formerly of northern Japan with a distinct language and culture) called "Fushu" and those who had moved from the region south of Kanto were mixed in together and having their lives.
Japanese: そして、俘囚と呼ばれた蝦夷（えぞ）系の人々と関東以南から移住して来た人々が入り混じって生活していた。
English: During the middle of the eleventh century, two powerful families existed in the area; the Abe clan (Oshu [Mutsu province]) ruled Mutsu Province, and the Dewa Kiyohara clan ruled Dewa Province.
Japanese: 11世紀半ば、陸奥国には安倍氏(奥州)、出羽国には出羽清原氏という強力な豪族が存在していた。
English: Both Abe and Kiyohara clans were the families who were descended from Fushu; they were, so to speak, descendants of aboriginal peoples of the Tohoku region.
Japanese: 安倍氏、清原氏はいずれも俘囚の流れを汲む、言わば東北地方の先住民系の豪族であった。
English: Then, one of them, the Abe clan, started a fight against kokushi (provincial officers dispatched by the central government) of Mutsu Province, and MINAMOTO no Yoriyoshi from Kawachi-Genji (the Minamoto clan) intervened in it; this led to the battle known as the Zenkunen War (the Early Nine Years' War), which continued for as many as twelve years in total.
Japanese: このうち安倍氏が陸奥国の国司と争いになり、これに河内源氏の源頼義が介入し足掛け12年に渡って戦われたのが前九年の役である。
English: The Abe clan maintained superiority during the most time of the Zenkunen War; however, at the final stage, MINAMOTO no Yoriyoshi won the Kiyohara clan over to his side and defeated the Abe clan, and thus the war ended.
Japanese: 前九年の役はその大半の期間において安倍氏が優勢に戦いを進めていたが、最終局面で清原氏を味方に付けた源頼義が安倍氏を滅ぼして終わった。
English: Yoritoki was killed in battle in 1057, and his son, Sadato ABE, was defeated and killed in 1062 either, but the bloodline of ABE no Yoritoki did not die out.
Japanese: 頼時は天喜5年（1057年）に戦死し、その息子の安倍貞任は康平5年（1062年）に敗死したが、安倍頼時の血統が絶えたわけでは無かった。
English: Tsunekiyo was also captured and decapitated by Yoriyoshi when the Abe clan was destroyed, but his wife (that is, a daughter of Yoritoki) remarried KIYOHARA no Takesada, the first son of KIYOHARA no Takenori who had joined the war with three times as much military power as Yoriyoshi's and so immensely contributed to Yoriyoshi's victory.
Japanese: 経清もまた安倍氏の滅亡の際に頼義に囚われ斬首されたが、その妻（つまり頼時の娘）は頼義の3倍の兵力を率いて参戦した戦勝の立役者である清原武則の長男・武貞に再嫁することとなった。
English: On this occasion, Tsunekiyo's son (Yoritoki's grandchild) was brought with the daughter of Yoritoki and adopted by Takesada, and was called KIYOHARA no Kiyohira when he grew up.
Japanese: この時、頼時の娘が連れていた経清の息子（頼時の外孫）も武貞の養子となり、長じて清原清衡を名乗った。
English: In 1083, an internal conflict broke out between KIYOHARA no Sanehira (a son of Takesada) who had succeeded to the family head of the Kiyohara clan, Kiyohira, and KIYOHARA no Iehira, a younger brother by a different father.
Japanese: 永保3年（1083年）、清原氏の頭領の座を継承していた清原真衡（武貞の子）と清衡そしてその異父弟の清原家衡との間に内紛が発生する。
English: MINAMOTO no Yoshiie, an heir of MINAMOTO no Yoriyoshi, intervened in it, and partly because of the death of KIYOHARA no Sanehira, once the conflict was settled.
Japanese: この内紛に源頼義の嫡男であった源義家が介入し、清原真衡の死もあって一旦は清原氏の内紛は収まることになった。
English: Nevertheless, shortly after six counties in the possession of the Kiyohara clan were divided between Kiyohira and Iehira under the rule of Yoshiie so that each could inherit three counties, Iehira, dissatisfied with this decision, took up arms against Kiyohira.
Japanese: ところが義家の裁定によって清原氏の所領の6郡が清衡と家衡に3郡ずつ分割継承されることになると、しばらくしてこれを不服とした家衡が清衡との間に戦端をひらいてしまった。
English: Because of this, the Imperial Court trusted the Oshu Fujiwara clan and permitted them actual control over the Oshu region.
Japanese: その為、朝廷は奥州藤原氏を信頼し、彼らの事実上の奥州支配を容認した。
English: Behind this decision of the Imperial Court, there was a situation where the Imperial Court had no time to deal with affairs in the Oshu region because the political strife between the Minamoto clan and the Taira clan had arisen inside the Imperial Court.
Japanese: その後、朝廷内部で源氏と平氏の間で政争が起きたために奥州にかかわっている余裕が無かったと言う事情も有った。
English: However, it is believed that it happened more likely due to the attitude of the Oshu Fujiwara clan that it tried to move forward the ruling of the Oshu region according to the principal of local control of the central government.
Japanese: しかし、それより大きいのは当時の中央政府の地方支配原理にあわせた奥州支配を進めたことと思われる。
English: The Oshu Fujiwara clan had never changed its attitude throughout its life that it would never refuse to accept kokushi (provincial officers) dispatched from the central government and cooperate with them as the most influential clan in the Oshu region.
Japanese: 奥州藤原氏は、中央から来る国司を拒まず受け入れ、奥州第一の有力者としてそれに協力するという姿勢を最後まで崩さなかった。
English: Thus, the Oshu region incurred no effect from the political strife which occurred in the Imperial Court, and even during the middle of the Genpei War, the Oshu Fujiwara clan enjoyed a peace through which it established independent politics and culture backed by its political neutrality and huge military forces, which is said to have reached 170,000 cavalry.
Japanese: そのため奥州は朝廷における政争と無縁な地帯になり、奥州藤原氏は奥州17万騎と言われた強大な武力と政治的中立を背景に源平合戦の最中も平穏の中で独自の政権と文化を確立する事になる。
English: Additionally, FUJIWARA no Motohira formed a friendly relationship with FUJIWARA no Motonari, who was one of close aides of the cloistered emperor and had been sent as Mutsu no Kami (the governor of Mutsu Province), and had Motonari's daughter marry Hidehira (Motohira's son); thus he expanded his influence on the cloistered emperor.
Japanese: また、藤原基衡は院の近臣で陸奥守として下向してきた藤原基成と親交を結び、基成の娘を秀衡に嫁がせ院へも影響を及ぼした。
English: It is inferred that Motonari and Motohira brought strong pressure on the cloistered emperor from the fact that most kokushi (provincial officers) who were sent from the central government afterward were close relatives of Motonari.
Japanese: その後下向する国司は殆どが基成の近親者で、基成と基衡が院へ強い運動を仕掛けたことが推測される。
English: Some take the view that the original political system developed by the Oshu Fujiwara clan influenced the Kamakura shogunate.
Japanese: 奥州藤原氏が築いた独自政権の仕組みは鎌倉幕府に影響を与えたとする解釈もある。
English: In addition to Hidehira holding the position of Chinjufu Shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Defense of the North), successive members of the Oshu Fujiwara clan inherited the position of Oryoshi (a government post responsible for policing and military affairs): Kiyohira became the Oryoshi of Mutsu Province; Motohira, the Oryoshi of the Six Counties of Mutsu Province and Dewa Province; and Yasuhira, the Oryoshi of Dewa Province and Mutsu Province.
Japanese: 清衡は陸奥押領使に、基衡は奥六郡押領使、出羽押領使に、秀衡は鎮守府将軍、泰衡は出羽、陸奥押領使であり押領使を世襲する。
English: In this way, the Oshu-Fujiwara clan gained permission to officially command its forces, which was the ruling principle of the Oshu Fujiwara clan.
Japanese: そうすることで軍事指揮権を公的に行使することが認められ、それが奥州藤原氏の支配原理となっていた。
English: It is said that there were many copies of administrative documents, such as shocho (account books or registers managed by central administrative offices) concerning Mutsu and Dewa Provinces and tabumi (registers of areas or ownerships of rice fields), left in Hiraizumi at the end of the Oshu Fujiwara clan.
Japanese: 奥州藤原氏滅亡時、平泉には陸奥、出羽の省帳、田文などの行政文書の写しが多数あったという。
English: On the other hand, based on the fact that there were many local ruling families which were empowered to rule their local lands as gokenin (immediate vassals of the shogunate) in Dewa Province even after the battle of Oshu, some point out the difference in the influence of the Oshu Fujiwara clan between Mutsu and Dewa Provinces—local lords in Mutsu Province had been vassalized by the Oshu Fujiwara family, while it was merely allowed military command as Oryoshi in Dewa Province.
Japanese: 一方で出羽国に奥州合戦後も御家人として在地支配を許された豪族が多いことから、在地領主の家人化が進んだ陸奥国と押領使としての軍事指揮権に留まった出羽国の差を指摘する見解もある。
English: Especially in the northern part of Dewa Province, there were no shoen but only koryo (public lands), so some people say it cannot be asserted that the Oshu Fujiwara clan extended its power this far in the region.
Japanese: 特に出羽北部には荘園が存在せず、公領制一色の世界であったため、どの程度まで奥州藤原氏の支配が及んだかは疑問であるとする説がある。
English: Some researchers believe that the image of the golden country of Jipang, which is mentioned in "The Travels of Marco Polo," was brought about through trade with the Asian continent through the port of Tosaminato by the Oshu-Fujiwara clan (later the Ando clan).
Japanese: マルコ・ポーロの東方見聞録に登場する黄金の国ジパングのイメージは、奥州藤原氏（後に安東氏）による十三湊大陸貿易によってもたらされたと考える研究者もいる。
English: In 1105, Kiyohira built Saisho-in Temple (later Chuson-ji Temple) in his base, Hiraizumi.
Japanese: 長治2年（1105年）に清衡は本拠地の平泉に最初院（後の中尊寺）を建立した。
English: Afterward, Motohira continued the construction of Motsu-ji Temple, and finally the magnificent scale of its temple structures and garden was said to exceed those of temples in Kyoto.
Japanese: その後基衡が造営を続け、壮大な伽藍と庭園の規模は京のそれを凌いだと言われている。
English: It is said that the statue of Yakushi Nyorai (the Healing Buddha) made by Unkei, a sculptor of Buddhist statues, to the order of Motohira who intended to make it the honzon (a principal object of worship at a temple) of Motsu-ji Temple was so marvelous that the Emperor Toba attempted to arrogate it to make it the honzon of the temple he had built.
Japanese: 毛越寺の本尊とするために薬師如来像を仏師・雲慶に発注したところあまりにも見事なものだったため、鳥羽天皇が横取りして自分が建立した寺院の本尊に使用せんとしたほどだったという。
English: With its roof, internal walls and pillars all coated with gold, it is said to be the symbol of political and financial power of the Oshu Fujiwara clan.
Japanese: 屋根・内部の壁・柱などすべてを金で覆い奥州藤原氏の権力と財力の象徴とも言われる。
English: The Oshu Fujiwara clan prospered over a hundred years for four generations, FUJIWARA no Kiyohira, FUJIWARA no Motohira, FUJIWARA no Hidehira, and FUJIWARA no Yasuhira; and Hiraizumi became the second biggest city in Japan next to Heiankyo (ancient Kyoto).
Japanese: 奥州藤原氏は藤原清衡、藤原基衡、藤原秀衡、藤原泰衡と4代100年に渡って繁栄を極め、平泉は平安京に次ぐ日本第二の都市となった。
English: Even in the present age, this Hiraizumi culture was quoted as the symbol of the culture of the Tohoku region in the Diet when the gaffe committed by the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Osaka Prefecture (an inappropriate remark on residents of the Tohoku region calling them "Kumaso" [a discriminatory word which originally means the tribes who lived in the ancient Kyushu district]) was discussed.
Japanese: この平泉文化は現代でも大阪商工会議所会頭による東北熊襲発言に際して、国会で東北地方の文化の象徴として引き合いにだされている。
English: Hidehira had refused Yoritomo's demand for the surrender of Yoshitsune, but Yasuhira, a son of Hidehira, could not refuse the demand any longer after Hidehira's death.
Japanese: 秀衡は頼朝からの引渡要求を拒んできたが秀衡の死後、息子の藤原泰衡は頼朝の要求を拒みきれなかった。
English: In May 1189, Yasuhira attacked and made Yoshitune commit suicide, and sought to reconcile with Yoritomo by delivering Yoshitune's head to Yoritomo.
Japanese: 文治5年（1189年）閏4月義経を自殺に追い込み、義経の首を頼朝に引き渡す事で頼朝との和平を模索した。
English: However, being afraid that independent political power existed to the north of the Kanto region, in August that year, MINAMOTO no Yoritomo dispatched his troops to the Oshu region, officially accusing the clan of having sheltered Yoshitsune for a long time.
Japanese: しかし、関東の後背に独自の政権があることを源頼朝は恐れたため、源頼朝は同年7月、義経を長らくかくまっていた事を罪として奥州に出兵。
English: At Nienosaku (Kazuno, Akita Prefecture), FUJIWARA no Yasuhira was rebelled and killed by his vassals; thus, the Oshu Fujiwara clan ended.
Japanese: 贄柵（秋田県鹿角）において家臣の造反により藤原泰衡は殺され、奥州藤原氏は滅んだ。
English: The causes of the downfall of the Oshu Fujiwara clan were that the Minamoto clan strengthened its power through the downfall of the Taira clan, and that it failed to maintain its neutrality because Yoshitune, who had had a close relation with the clan, became opposed to Yoritomo.
Japanese: 平家滅亡により源氏の勢力が強くなった事、奥州に深く関わっていた義経が頼朝と対立した事などにより中立を維持できなくなった事が滅亡の原因となった。
English: FUJIWARA no Kiyotsuna (Gonjuro WATARI), the fourth son of Kiyohira, resided in Nakajima Yakata (a castle) in Watari County at first and later relocated to Hiraizumi.
Japanese: 清衡の四男・藤原清綱（亘理権十郎）は当初亘理郡中嶋舘に居城し以後平泉へ移る。
English: Kiyotsuna's son resided in Hizume (written as 樋爪 or 比爪) Yakata in Hizume in Shiwa County and called himself Taro Toshihira HIZUME, adopting "Hizume" as his family name.
Japanese: その子の代には紫波郡日詰の樋爪（比爪）館に居を構え、樋爪氏を名乗り太郎俊衡と称している。
English: During the battle of Oshu, the Hizume clan set fire to their own castle after Hiraizumi fell and went underground, but the family head Toshihira HIZUME and some others presented themselves in the military camp of Yoritomo at Jingaoke and surrendered.
Japanese: 奥州合戦では平泉陥落後、樋爪氏は居館に火を放ち地下に潜伏したが、当主・樋爪俊衡らは陣ケ岡の頼朝の陣に出頭し降伏した。
English: Judging his behavior to be righteous and also considered his advanced age, Yoritomo approved his continuous possession of the territories of the Hizume clan.
Japanese: さらに、老齢のことでもありその態度を是とした頼朝は樋爪氏の所領を安堵した。
English: Takahira, the fourth son of FUJIWARA no Hidehira, was exiled to Sagami Province too after he surrendered, and took the same path as the Hizume family clan.
Japanese: 藤原秀衡の四男高衡も投降後相模国に流罪となり樋爪一族と行動をともにした。
English: Meanwhile, Watari Go (Watari County), which the Oshu Fujiwara clan had controlled for generations since FUJIWARA no Tsunekiyo (Gon no daibu [a provisional master] of the Watari region), was put under the rule of Tanemori CHIBA, a staff officer of Yoritomo, after the fall of Kiyotsuna (Gonjuro WATARI).
Japanese: 一方、経清（亘理権大夫）以来代々の所領地曰理郷（亘理郡）も清綱（亘理権十郎）の没落とともに頼朝の幕僚・千葉胤盛の支配する所となった。
English: Afterward, she resided in Otori-jo Castle in the Shinobu County (presently, Tate no Yama Park near Iizaka Hot Springs in Fukushima City), mothering the brothers of Tsugunobu and Tadanobu SATO (vassals of Yoshitsune).
Japanese: そして、佐藤継信・佐藤忠信兄弟（義経の臣）の母親として信夫郡舘の山公園（福島市飯坂温泉付近・現在舘の山公園）に居城した。
English: FUJIWARA no Hidehisa, a younger brother of FUJIWARA no Hidehira, moved out to reside in the Tosaminato region, and started a branch family known as the Tosa clan (the Tosa-Fujiwara clan).
Japanese: 藤原秀衡の弟藤原秀栄は、分家して、十三湊に住み十三氏（十三藤原氏）を名乗った。
English: The Tosa clan remained there during the Kamakura period until they were defeated by the Ando clan in 1229, at which point Hidenao TOSA was the head of the Tosa clan.
Japanese: 十三氏は、鎌倉時代も残り、十三秀直の代の（寛喜元年）1229年に安東氏に滅ぼされるまで続いた。
English: The clan's origin dated back to 708, when Agata no INUKAI no Michiyo was granted Shisei (clan and hereditary title) of TACHIBANA no Sukune by the Emperor Genmei.
Japanese: 和銅元年（708年）、県犬養三千代が元明天皇から橘宿禰（たちばなのすくね）の氏姓を賜ったことを淵源とする。
English: It is one of the so called 'Shisei' (four major family names particularly in the Heian period) and original names, and the clan had produced many Kugyo (high court nobles) for generations until the mid-Heian period, however, after that, the Tachibana clan stopped holding the position of Kugyo, and after that, the clan had lost its influence.
Japanese: いわゆる四姓、本姓の一つであり、平安時代中期まで代々公卿を輩出したが、その後は橘氏公卿が絶え、以後振るわなかった。
English: Michiyo served as Myobu (a high-ranking court lady) from the Emperor Tenmu's era, and is also said to have been the Emperor Monmu's menoto (wet nurse), having an intimate connection with the Imperial family as an influential person in the kokyu (empress's residence).
Japanese: 三千代は天武天皇朝から命婦として仕え、文武天皇の乳母をつとめたともされ、後宮の実力者として皇室と深い関係にあった。
English: In 694, when Minu no Okimi went to Kyushu as dazai no sochi (the chief of Dazaifu [Government Headquarters in Kyushu]), she then became the wife of FUJIWARA no Fuhito, and FUJIWARA no Komyoshi (the Empress Komyo) was born.
Japanese: 694年に美努王が大宰帥として九州へ赴任すると、代わって藤原不比等の夫人となり、藤原光明子（光明皇后）らを生んだ。
English: On January 14, 709, when Daijosai (the first ceremonial offering of the rice) by the newly-enthroned Emperor Genmei was held, Michiyo was given Shisei (clan and hereditary title) of TACHIBANA no Sukune, accompanying with a cup in which a flower of mandarin orange was floating on sake, praising her distinguished service for a long time since the Emperor Tenmu's era.
Japanese: 和銅元年11月25日、元明天皇の大嘗祭に際して、天武天皇治世期から永く仕えてきた三千代の功績が称えられ、橘の浮かんだ杯とともに橘宿禰の氏姓が賜与された。
English: After Michiyo died in 733, her sons, TACHIBANA no Moroe and TACHIBANA no Sai requested their succession to Shisei (clan and hereditary title) of TACHIBANA no Sukune to the Imperial Court on December 21, 736, and on December 27, it was permitted.
Japanese: 三千代が天平5年（733年）に没すると、同8年11月11日に三千代の子の橘諸兄と橘佐為が橘宿禰の氏姓継承を朝廷へ申請し、同月17日に許された。
