Japanese: 巻頭歌人にして最多入集は選者雅世の父飛鳥井雅縁（29首）であり、雅世（18首）自身、雅経（18首）・飛鳥井雅有（14首）ら選者の先祖の優遇が目立つ。

Japanese: 後花園は再度の勅撰集計画も練っていたが、応仁の乱によって中断し、以後勅撰集は編まれなかった。
English: Some material says that it was completed in 1623 when the title of the book was decided, while other material says that it came into existence in 1628, when it was dedicated to Shigemune ITAKURA, who will be mentioned later, and an afterward to the book was written.
Japanese: この命名時点を完成とみて1623年（元和(日本)9年）成立とする資料と、後述の板倉重宗への献呈と奥書の付与の時点を完成と見て1628年（寛永5年）成立とする資料とがある。

Japanese: 策伝の導入部では、「策伝それがし小僧の時より、耳にふれておもしろくをかしかりつる事を、反故の端にとめ置きたり」と話を収集した過程を述べている。
English: Of the collected stories, some derived from "Mumyosho" (The Nameless Treatise) and "Ujishui Monogatari" (A Collection of Tales from Uji), and some are the same stories as the ones collected in "Zagenyokishu" (A Collection of Jokes Which Cheer You Up) and "Yesterday Is Today's Story" which were published in the same period.
Japanese: 収録されている話の中には、『無名抄』『宇治拾遺物語』に由来するものがあり、同時代に発行された『戯言養気集』と『昨日は今日の物語』と共通するものもある。
English: It is unknown whether Sakuden quoted those stories or just chose them from the ones widely known among the people.
Japanese: それらは、策伝が直接引用したのか、巷間に伝わっていたものを採用したものか不明である。
English: It is said that Sakuden came to write "Seisuisho" around 1615 when Shigemune ITAKURA recommended him compiling those stories into a book because Shigemune found Sakuden's stories interesting.
Japanese: 元和元年(1615年)の頃、策伝が板倉重宗の前で話した話が面白く、著書として纏めるように薦められたことから『醒睡笑』が著されたという。
English: When Sakuden completed Seisuisho and brought it to Shigemune (on April 21, 1628), the book was presented to Shigemune's son, Shigesato ITAKURA (chamberlain Itakura) (Although in in fact it was presented to Shigemune).
Japanese: 策伝が完成した『醒睡笑』を重宗の元に届けた折り（1628年：寛永5年3月17日）、重宗と同席した子・板倉重郷（板倉侍従）に献呈された（実際には重宗への献呈）。

Japanese: 例えば、初代露の五郎兵衛による『軽口露がはなし』（1691年、元禄4年）に記載された88話中、28話が『醒睡笑』に由来する噺である。

English: It is said that Taketori Monogatari is the oldest tale in Japan.
Japanese: 竹取物語（たけとりものがたり）は、日本最古の一覧とされる物語である。
English: It is the tale of Princess Kaguya who comes from the inside of a shining bamboo shoot and is brought up by a bamboo cutter and his wife.
Japanese: 光り輝く竹の中から出てきて竹取の翁の夫婦に育てられたかぐや姫の物語。
English: The 3791st poem collected in the 16th volume of Manyoshu (Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves) is a choka (long poem) in which 'the bamboo cutter' composes a poem about a heavenly maiden, which suggests that it might be related to the tale.
Japanese: 『万葉集』巻十六の第三七九一歌には、「竹取の翁」が天女を詠んだという長歌があり、この物語との関連が指摘されている。
English: The year of completion is unknown, and of course the original manuscript is not extant; the oldest manuscript was made during the Tensho era (Azuchi-Momoyama period).
Japanese: 成立年は明らかにされていないが、原本は当然現存せず、最古の写本は天正年間（安土桃山時代）のものである。
English: However, "Yamato Monogatari" (Tales of Yamato) and "Utsuho Monogatari" (The Tale of the Cavern) completed in the tenth century, and "Eiga Monogatari" (A Tale of Flowering Fortunes) and "Sagoromo Monogatari" (The Tale of Sagoromo) in the eleventh century refer to "Taketori Monogatari," and moreover a chapter of 'A Picture Contest' in "Genji Monogatari" (The Tale of Genji) says, 'Taketori no Okina, a founder of the tale,' which suggests that the tale was completed at least by the mid-tenth century.
Japanese: しかし、10世紀の『大和物語』、『うつほ物語』や11世紀の『栄花物語』、『狭衣物語』などに『竹取物語』への言及が見られ、また『源氏物語』「絵合」巻に「物語の出で来はじめの祖なる竹取の翁」とあることから、遅くとも10世紀半ばまでに成立したと考えられている。
English: It is generally considered that the tale was written between the Jogan era, the first half of the Heian period, and the Engi era, especially the latter half of the 890s.
Japanese: 通説は、平安時代前期の貞観(日本)年間-延喜年間、特に890年代後半に書かれたとする。
English: Under the influence of the Chinese books like "History of the Later han Dynasty" and "Bai-Shi Wen Ji," the original tale, which had been passed on by word of mouth, was once written down in Chinese, and then it seems to have been rewritten in kana later.
Japanese: 元々、口承説話として伝えられたものが『後漢書』や『白氏文集』など漢籍の影響を受けて一旦は漢文の形で完成されたが、後に平仮名で書き改められたと考えられている。
English: Considering the literacy rate in those days, a common man could not be a possible author, therefore it is conjectured that the author would have been somebody who belonged to the upper class and lived near the Heiankyo (the Heian Palace), easily accessing information of the court nobles.
Japanese: 作者像として、当時の識字率から庶民は考えられず上流階級に属しており、貴族の情報が入手できる平安京近隣に居住していたと推定される。
English: Also, there is something antiestablishment in the tale, so the author couldn't have been a descendant of the Fujiwara clan who held power in those days, therefore it is considered that the tale would have been written by a male writer who was familiar with the study of the Chinese classics, Buddhism, folklore, and able to write kana letters on paper, which was precious.
Japanese: また、物語内容に反体制な要素が認められることから当時権力を握っていた藤原氏の係累ではなく、漢学・仏教・民間伝承に精通し、仮名文字を操ることができ、貴重だった紙の入手も可能な人物で性別は男性だったのではないかと推定されている。
English: Based on these things mentioned above, the author could have been MINAMOTO no Shitago, MINAMOTO no Toru, Henjo, KI no Tsurayuki, or KI no Haseo, but it is impossible to say for sure.
Japanese: 以上をふまえ、源順、源融、遍昭、紀貫之、紀長谷雄などの作者説が唱えられているが、いずれも決め手に欠けている。
English: The characters are Taketori no Okina (an old man) and his wife Ona (an old woman), and the Okina makes a living by creating various things with the bamboo he cuts.

Japanese: 5人の公達は、石作皇子、車持皇子、右大臣阿倍御主人、大納言大伴御行、中納言石上麻呂といった。
English: The Okina, who realizes that these men won't give up, tells Princess Kaguya that 'women should marry men. You should choose one from them.'
Japanese: 彼らがあきらめそうにないのを見て、翁がかぐや姫に「女は男と結婚するものだ。お前も彼らの中から選びなさい」という。
English: Then Princess Kaguya says, 'Please tell them that I would like to marry the man who will bring me something I want.'
Japanese: かぐや姫は「『私の言うものを持ってくることができた人と結婚したいと思います』と彼らに伝えてください」と言った。
English: She asks Prince Ishizukuri to bring the stone begging bowl used by Buddha; Prince Kurumamochi, a branch of a tree with jeweled fruit from Penglai, the legendary Isle of the Immortals; Minister of the Right ABE no Miushi, a robe made of the fire-rat; Dainagon (chief councilor of state) OTOMO no Miyuki, a gemstone from a dragon's head; Chunagon (vice-councilor of state) ISONOKAMI no Maro, one of the easy-birth shells supposedly possessed by swallows.
Japanese: その意思とは石作皇子には仏の御石の鉢、車持皇子には蓬莱の玉の枝、右大臣阿倍御主人には火鼠の裘、大納言大伴御行には龍の首の珠、中納言石上麻呂には燕の子安貝を持ってこさせるというものだった。
English: Ishizukuri takes an ordinary bowl which is revealed to be a fake; Kurumamochi has a craftsman make an imitation, which is also revealed because the craftsman shows up; What Abe has brought is supposed not to burn, but actually it does; Otomo gives up bringing the treasure because of the storm; Isonokami dies because he tries to take the shell climbing up the roof of a shed on which a big pot called Oyashima of the Oiryo (a part of the Imperial Household) is set.
Japanese: 石作は只の鉢を持っていってばれ、車持は偽物をわざわざ作ったが職人がやってきてばれ、阿倍はそれは燃えない物とされていたのに燃えて別物、大伴は嵐に遭って諦め、石上は大炊寮の大八洲という名の大釜が据えてある小屋の屋根に上って取ろうとして腰を打ち、断命。
English: The Okina tries to arrange the meeting, but she refuses it, and she makes the Mikado give up on her too, disappearing from his sight, although she has only been seen by him once.
Japanese: 翁が取り持ったが、彼女は拒否し、一度は姿を見られたものの、姿を消して見せたりして結局御門も諦めさせた。
English: Three years have passed since she started to exchange poems with the Mikado, and Princess Kaguya comes to be lost in deep thought whenever she looks at the moon.
Japanese: 御門と和歌を遣り取りするようになって三年の月日が経った頃、かぐや姫は月を見て物思いに耽るようになった。
English: As a full moon of August comes near, she is often crying bitterly, so the Okina asks her why and she replies, 'I'm not from this planet but from the moon, and have to return to it on 15th.'

Japanese: それからその山は「不死の山」（後の富士山）と呼ばれ、また、その山からは常に煙が上がるようになった。
English: In spite of including so many different elements of story, the tale has reached a high degree of perfection, being valued as the tale or the ancient novel in the early period of a history of literature.
Japanese: にも関わらず、高い完成度を有していることから物語、または古代小説の最初期作品として評価されている。
English: Because of so many different elements, the resemblance to or influence of the other works has been pointed out.
Japanese: 多くの要素を含んでいるため、他作品との類似性ないし他作品からの影響が指摘されている。
English: Taketori Monogatari has basically the same structure as Robe of Feathers Legend, in which a main character from the supernatural world makes a poor man flourish and returns where she comes from.
Japanese: 竹取物語は、異界から来た主人公が貧しい人を富ませた後に再び異界へ去っていくという構造から成り立っており、構造的には羽衣伝説と同一である。
English: Moreover, the resemblance to the Chinese classical books ("History of the Later Han Dynasty," "Bai-Shi Wen Ji," and so on) has been pointed out by many people, so the tale seems to have been affected by these books.
Japanese: このほか、中国の典籍（『後漢書』『白氏文集』など）との類似点も多数指摘されており、これらの影響を受けていると考えられている。
English: "Konjaku Monogatari Shu" (Tales of Times Now Past) completed in the late Heian period also includes a similar story to Taketori Monogatari (volume 31, 'A story of Taketori no Okina who found a baby girl and brought her up'), but in this version the plot is more simplified: only three difficult tasks are given to the suitors; Princess Kaguya doesn't return to the moon on the 15th night; a history of the name of Mt. Fuji is not introduced.
Japanese: 平安時代後期の『今昔物語集』にも竹取物語と同様の説話（巻31｢竹取の翁、女児を見つけて養う語」）が採集されているが、求婚者への難題は3題のみであり、月へ帰る夜も十五夜でなく、富士山の地名由来譚も登場しない、『竹取物語』より簡略された内容である。
English: The tale collected in Konjaku Monogatari seems to have been referred to the Chinese books, being different from the consummate work of "Taketori Monogatari," and has been assumed that it told an old form of 'The Tale of Taketori no Okina,' which had been handed down orally.
Japanese: 漢籍などを参照したと考えられ、完成した内容を持つ『竹取物語』とは異なり、今昔所収の説話は口頭伝承されてきた「竹取の翁の物語」の古態を伝えているのではないかと想定されている。
English: There is an example of a foreign folklore similar to Taketori Monogatari; 'Banzhu Guniang' (collected in "Jinyu Fenghuang" written and edited by Tian Haiyan in 1961), which has been handed down in Ngawa Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Region in Sichuan Province, China.
Japanese: 竹取物語に似た外国の民間伝承としては、例えば中国四川省のガパ蔵族羌族自治州に伝わる「斑竹姑娘」（田海燕『金玉鳳凰』1961年（中国）に収載）がある。
English: The story is that a girl being born from a bamboo shoot comes to be asked to marry by sons of a feudal lord, but she refuses them giving difficult tasks, and she is wedded to a man whom she has loved for a long time in the end; especially the number of treasures in the scene of courtship, the treasures themselves, conversation with the men, and the ending are quite similar to Taketori Monogatari.
Japanese: その内容は、竹の中から生まれた少女が、領主の息子たちから求婚を受けたが難題をつけて退け、かねてより想いを寄せていた男性と結ばれるという話だが、中でも求婚の部分は宝物の数、内容、男性側のやりとりや結末などが非常に酷似している。
English: Princess Kaguya, the old couple, and Mikado are fictional characters, while there are several characters borrowed from reality, which is one of the characteristics of this tale.
Japanese: かぐや姫・老夫婦・御門などは架空の人物だが、実在の人物が登場していることも本作品の特徴である。
English: Of five young court nobles, ABE no Miushi, OTOMO no Miyuki, and ISONOKAMI no Maro were real people.
Japanese: 5人の公達のうち、阿倍御主人、大伴御行、石上麻呂は実在の人物である。
English: Also, it is conjectured that Prince Kurumamochi was modeled after FUJIWARA no Fuhito, and Prince Ishizukuri's model was TAJIHI no Shima.
Japanese: また、車持皇子のモデルは藤原不比等、石作皇子のモデルは多治比嶋だっただろうと推定されている。
English: These five men were all meritorious vassals at the Jinshin War serving Emperor Tenmu and Empress Jito, which suggests that the tale takes place in the early Nara period.
Japanese: この5人はいずれも壬申の乱の功臣で天武天皇・持統天皇に仕えた人物であることから、奈良時代初期が物語の舞台に設定されたとされている。
English: As to the main character Princess Kaguya, people made various suppositions; for example, a relationship with Emperor Suinin's consort Kaguyahime (a daughter of Otsuki no Miko (King Otsuki Tarine)), and a relationship with Toyouke Taijin (Grand Divine Toyouke) was discussed because the name of Kaguyahime written in Chinese characters (赫夜姫) can also be read as 'Toyohime.'
Japanese: 主人公のかぐや姫も、垂仁天皇妃である迦具夜比売（かぐやひめ、大筒木垂根王の女）との関係や、赫夜姫という漢字が「とよひめ」と読めることからから豊受大神との関係について論じられるなど、様々な説がある。
English: Taketori no Okina was once called 'Sanuki no Miyatsuko' in the tale.
Japanese: 竹取の翁は、物語の中でかつては「さぬきの造（みやつこ）」と呼ばれていたとある。
English: Because of this, it is commonly considered that Taketori no Okina lived in Sanuki Village, Hirose District, Yamato Province (the present Koryo-cho, Kita katsuragi-gun, Nara Prefecture).
Japanese: ここから、物語においては大和国広瀬郡散吉（さぬき）郷（現奈良県北葛城郡広陵町）に竹取の翁が居住していた、とするのが通説となっている。
English: Other than this, there are some areas which people consider to be a place in connection with Taketori Monogatari, designing a town using a theme of Taketori Monogatari (Princess Kaguya).
Japanese: ほかにも日本各地に竹取物語由来の地と名乗る地域があり、竹取物語（かぐや姫）をテーマにしたまちづくりを行っている。
English: At the following seven cities and towns, 'Princess Kaguya Summit ' is regularly held for promoting local interaction.
Japanese: また以下の7市町では「かぐや姫サミット」という地域間交流が定期的に開催されている。
English: Because his residence was located in Toin, the book was also called "Heito ki," and some people called it "Jinsha ki" ("Jin" means a man, "sha" means a wheel) after two left-hand radicals of the Chinese characters of his name Nobunori (信範).
Japanese: また住所であった洞院を取って『平洞記』とも、信範の二字の偏を取って『人車記』とも呼ばれる。
English: The diary covers about forty years from 1132 to 1171.
Japanese: 記載時期は天承2年（1132年）から承安(日本)1年（1171年）に至るまで約40年間を網羅する。
English: TAIRA no Nobunori came from the Kanmu-Heishi (Taira clan) Takamune line, which was a long line of scholars of the so-called 'the family of diary' and also the family of practical officials, therefore his diary is now an essential historical material to know the activities and ceremonies of the Imperial court in Kyoto and court nobles in the late Heian period.
Japanese: 平信範は、桓武平氏高棟流の流れをくみ、俗に「日記の家」と呼ばれた学者の家系であり、また実務官僚でもあったため、その日記は平安時代後期の京都朝廷や公家たちの活動や、朝廷の儀典について知るための基本史料となっている。
English: As a household superintendent, Nobunori served FUJIWARA no Tadamichi and FUJIWARA no Motozane of the Sekkan (Regent and Chancellor) family, getting information about the movement of high court nobles, especially Goshirakawa in and the Taira family before and after the Hogen Disturbance, so no record can compete with Nobunori's detailed record about them.
Japanese: 特に信範は摂関家の藤原忠通・藤原基実らに家司として仕えたため、当時の上級公家などの動きに詳しく、中でも保元の乱および乱後の後白河院・平家などについての詳細な記述は、他の諸記録の追随を許さないといえる。
English: Besides, the original manuscript of "Heihan ki" is characterized by a large quantity of shihaibunsho (records written on the other side of documents during the period when paper was very precious).
Japanese: さらに『兵範記』原本の特長としては、大量の紙背文書（紙が貴重であった時代、正規の文書の裏に書かれた文章）の存在が挙げられる。
English: Nobunori wrote his diary on the other side of case records and administrative documents while he was working as Mandokoro betto (Director of the Administrative Board) and Kurodo gashira (a kind of secretary and archivist to the Emperor), which also came to be important historical materials to understand the inside situation of the Sekkan family and the scope of Kurodo gashira's work.
Japanese: 信範が摂関家政所別当職や蔵人頭を務めていた際の訴訟・行政文書の裏が日記用の紙に使われており、摂関家の内部事情や蔵人頭の業務内容が伺える貴重な史料ともなっている。
English: Go-Nijo Moromichi-ki (The Diary of Fujiwara Moromichi) is a diary written by FUJIWARA no Moromichi, who was active during the late Heian period.
Japanese: 後二条師通記（ごにじょうもろみちき）は、平安時代後期に活躍した藤原師通の記した日記。
English: It seems to have been written from 1083 to 1099, but some of the years are missing.
Japanese: 永保3年（1083年）から康和元年（1099年）まで書かれたらしいが、うち数年分が欠ける。
English: This manuscript in his own hand, together with an old manuscript copied later by the order of FUJIWARA no Yorinaga, have been handed down in the Yomei bunko, and both are designated as national treasures.
Japanese: この自筆本と、後に藤原頼長が書写させた古写本が、陽明文庫に伝わり、ともに国宝に指定されている。
English: The Imperial Household Archives also has a newer manuscript that seems to have been copied at a later date than the old manuscript.

Japanese: 父の死後、頭中将（当時は少将）の第二夫人となって一女（後の玉鬘(源氏物語)）をもうけるが、本妻の嫉妬を恐れて姿を消した。
English: In the chapter of 'Hahakigi' (The Broom Tree), her name 'Tokonatsu no Onna' comes up in the conversation about 'rating woman on a rainy night,' but nobody paid much attention to her at that time.
Japanese: 「帚木」巻で語られた「雨夜の品定め」で、「常夏の女」として名前が出てくるがその時は聞き流される。
English: She did not appear so often in the tale, but her life ended in tragedy, which reminds the readers of the saying "beauties die young," and makes a deep impression on us.
Japanese: 登場する回数こそ少ないものの、佳人薄命を絵に描いたような悲劇的な最後が印象に残る女性。
English: She is a frail-looking woman, but is cute and has a cheerful disposition, so Genji deeply loved her, although it was just a short time, after her death he often remembered her.
Japanese: 儚げながら可憐で朗らかな性格で、源氏は短い間であったが彼女にのめりこみ、死後も面影を追う。
English: It is said that she was one of the heroines who appeared in the tale when The Tale of Genji was still a fragment of a short love story.
Japanese: 源氏物語がまだ断片的な短編恋愛小説だった頃から登場していたヒロインの一人だろうと言われる。
English: When Genji called on his wet nurse who was also the mother of his follower, Koremitsu, to inquire after her health, he noticed that a moonflower was in bloom near the fence of his neighbor, sending a man for it, then his neighbor replied to him composing a waka poem.
Japanese: 従者惟光の母親でもある乳母の見舞いの折、隣の垣根に咲くユウガオの花に目を留めた源氏が取りにやらせたところ、邸の住人が和歌で返答する。
English: Genji, who got interested in the woman who is intelligent unlike an ordinary person, concealed his social status and went to visit her often.
Japanese: 市井の女にふさわしくない教養に興味を持った源氏は、身分を隠して彼女のもとに通うようになった。
English: One day, when Genji took Yugao to the lonely residence (called Nanigashi no In, said to have been modeled after MINAMOTO no Toru's old residence Rokujo Kawara no In) for a secret meeting, but he saw a spirit of a woman (some people claim that the spirit was Rokujo no Miyasudokoro, but it is not certain) complaining about him.
Japanese: あるとき、逢引の舞台として寂れた某院（なにがしのいん、源融の旧邸六条河原院がモデルとされる）に夕顔を連れ込んだ源氏であったが、深夜に女性の霊（六条御息所とも言われるが不明）が現れて恨み言を言う怪異にあう。

Japanese: なお、「満佐須計」の表記は「まさすけ」という仮名の字母を万葉仮名で表記したに過ぎない。
English: Although Sadamoto NONOMIYA, a court noble and an expert in court lore who was active during the Genroku and Shotoku eras (Japan), doubted that it was written by MINAMOTO no Masasuke, there is no reason to positively deny the author's identity.
Japanese: 元禄-正徳(日本)年間に活躍した公家で有職家の野宮定基は、源雅亮の著ということを疑っているが、積極的にこれを否定する理由は無い。
English: Examining the contents, they suit the image of Masasuke as an 'expert on court costume' since the latter half of the Heian period, a middle-ranking aristocrat possessing specialized knowledge of costume, giving detailed information on the costume for the girls and servants in the Gosechi Festival, etc.
Japanese: 内容をみても、平安後期以降「装束師」として装束の専門知識をもつ中級貴族が携わった、五節の童女や下仕の装束の記事がくわしいなど、雅亮の人物像に合っている。
English: "Goshonenin's Notes on Court Costume" in the Kamakura period quoted it as the "Gasho" (Notes on Court Elegance), and the "Asho" in the middle of the Muromachi period quoted it as "Notes on Court Costume by the Tokudai-ji Family."
