English: Hirashima Kubo (or Awa Kubo) is descended from Yoshitsuna ASHIKAGA, the second son of Yoshizumi ASHIKAGA who was the 11th Seii Taishogun (literally, "great general who subdues the barbarians") of Muromachi bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun), and their family lineage is a branch family of the Shogun family succeeded by Yoshimi, Yoshitane and Yoshitsuna ASHIKAGA successively.
Japanese: 平島公方（ひらしまくぼう）（又は阿波公方）は、血統的には室町幕府11代征夷大将軍・足利義澄の次男足利義維の末裔で、家柄的には、足利義視から義稙、そして義維と続く将軍家別家である。
English: Also note that only the 14th Shogun Yoshihide ASHIKAGA actually assumed the position of Shogun among the lineage of Hirashima even though they are called "Kubo," so the word "Kubo" means the Shogun family for the other people.
Japanese: なお、公方と称されるものの、この平島の系統で実際に将軍職に就任したのは第14代将軍足利義栄のみで、義栄以外の人物には将軍家一族という意味で使われる。
English: When Eisho Disturbance (also known as the assassination of Masamoto HOSOKAWA) happened in addition to Meio Coup, the war in and around the capital became complicated and prolonged because the battle for shogunate of the Ashikaga clan was related to the battle for Kanrei shoku (a post of shogunal deputy) of the Hosokawa clan.
Japanese: 明応の政変に加え、永正の錯乱まで勃発すると、足利氏の将軍職争いに細川氏の管領職争いまで絡んだため、畿内の戦乱は複雑化し、長引いた。
English: Before long, shogunate was unified into the 12th Shogun Yoshiharu ASHIKAGA, but Takakuni HOSOKAWA and Harumoto HOSOKAWA still continued fighting over Kanrei shoku.
Japanese: やがて将軍職が12代・足利義晴で1本化されようとも、細川氏では細川高国と細川晴元が、なおも管領職をかけて争い続けていた。
English: At that point in time, in the event that it was possible to raise up Yoshiharu as Shogun, even if in name only, the forces of the current Kanrei (a supporter of Takakuni) would become the loyalist army, while the other combatants (who were supporting Harumoto) would become the rebel army.
Japanese: その際、義晴将軍を名目上であろうと担ぎだした場合には、現職の管領（高国側）が官軍となり、他方（晴元側）が賊軍となってしまう。
English: Yoshitsuna was possibly engaged in it positively because he would be on track to becoming Shogun if circumstances allowed.
Japanese: その義維としても、あわよくば将軍への道が拓けようというのだから、積極的に関わったとも察せられる。
English: The team of Yoshitsuna and Harumoto (Sakai Kubo) got a toehold to establish a new government after their situation changed to their advantage since Takakuni was defeated at the battle of Katsuragawa in 1527, and escaped to Sakamoto, Omi Province with their valued person, Shogun Yoshiharu.
Japanese: そして、大永7年（1527年）の桂川原の戦いで敗退した高国が、掌中の玉・義晴将軍を伴って近江国坂本へ逃亡したため、立場を逆転させた義維・晴元体制は、和泉国で新政権樹立の足掛かりを築くまでになる（堺公方）。
English: Although Harumoto had defeated Kanrei Takakuni HOSOKAWA, who tried to regain his power, at Setsu Province and forced Takakuni to commit suicide, he gradually started to change his mind after that.
Japanese: 挽回を期する管領・細川高国を摂津国にて撃破、自害にまで追い込んだ晴元であったが、この後は徐々に変心。
English: Harumoto got the vacant position of Kanrei, and also he abandoned Yoshitsuna and stood on the side of Shogun Yoshiharu.
Japanese: 空位となった管領の座に転がり込んだばかりか、突如として義維を棄て、義晴将軍を推戴する側に回ってしまったのである。
English: Moreover, new Kanrei Yoshimoto was absorbed in self-protection, and he made Ikko Ikki (an uprising of Ikko sect followers) of rival religion attack Kenpon-ji Temple in Izumi Province with an attempt to debilitate the Miyoshi clan which was the strongest hikan (low-level bureaucrat) of Harumoto's army.
Japanese: しかも、新管領・晴元は自らの保身に余念無く、それまで晴元軍の中核であった最有力被官・三好氏の弱体化を図り、和泉国の顕本寺(堺市)を敵対宗派の一向一揆に襲わせている。
English: Motonaga MIYOSHI, Sosui (commander-in-chief) of the Miyoshi clan setting up the base ground on Kenpon-ji Temple, let Yoshitsuna escape to Awa Province and killed himself.
Japanese: 顕本寺を根拠地としていた三好氏の総帥・三好元長は、義維を阿波国へ逃がし、自らは自害して果てた。
English: Nagayoshi MIYOSHI, a bereaved child of Motonaga, increased his power more than his dead father's with a long time, and finally exceeded Harumoto and was promoted to Shobanshu (officials who accompany the Shogun) of bakufu.
Japanese: 元長の遺児・三好長慶は長い歳月をかけて亡父以上に勢力を伸ばすと、終には晴元を追い落とし、幕府の相伴衆に上り詰めた。
English: In the meantime, the lineage of Hirashima Kubo was under the patronage of the Miyoshi clan and was sustained as 'chief card' in the nick of time, but was passing the time without avenue for shogun.
Japanese: その間、平島公方の血統は三好氏の庇護を受け、いざと言う時の「切り札」として養われ続けていたとはいえ、将軍への道を拓かれずに過ごしていた。
English: Before long, due to the death of Nagayoshi, the Miyoshi clan shifted their system to the leaderships by Miyoshi Sanninshu (Miyoshi Triumvirate), but they started to suffer through the correspondence to the 13th Shogun Yoshiteru ASHIKAGA who proposed exclusion of the Miyoshi clan from bakufu.
Japanese: やがて、長慶の死去に伴い、三好氏では三好三人衆による指導体制に移行されたが、幕政からの三好氏排除を目論む13代将軍・足利義輝への対応に苦慮するようになる。
English: At their wits end, the Miyoshi clan attacked Nijo-jo Castle and kill their lord, Shogun Yoshiteru on June 27, 1565 (Eiroku Incident).
Japanese: 困り果てた末に、永禄8年5月19日_(旧暦)（1565年6月17日）には二条城を襲撃、義輝将軍を弑逆するという暴挙に出た（永禄の変）。
English: It sometimes happened to urge Shogun to abdicate, but killing Shogun was so-called "prohibited strategy," so it can be said that it was a serious incident in which the existence of Hirashima Kubo let the Miyoshi clan move into the action.
Japanese: 将軍に退位を迫る事があっても、命を奪うまでの行為は言うなれば『禁じ手』であったが、平島公方の存在が実行に踏み切らせた一大事件でもある。
English: When Hirashima Kubo was given a seat on new Shogun, Yoshitsuna, who was 20 years old at the time of disappearance of Sakai Kubo, was eliminated from the candidate because he was almost already 60 years old, and therefore, his son, Yoshichika ASHIKAGA (appointed as Sama no kami [Captain of Samaryo, Left Division of Bureau of Horses] and changed his name to Yoshihide) was enthroned.
Japanese: 新将軍に迎えられるに当たって、堺公方消滅時には20歳余と若かった義維は既に60歳近くなっていたため除外され、その長子・足利義栄（左馬頭に叙任され、義栄へ改名）が擁立された。
English: However, Miyoshi Sanninshu (Miyoshi Triumvirate) was preoccupied with internal power struggles against Hisahide MATSUNAGA and they didn't take any action for Yoshihide's assumption to Shogun.
Japanese: ところが、三好三人衆が松永久秀との内部権力抗争に明け暮れ、義栄の将軍就任への働きを疎かにした。
English: As a result, it was on March 16, 1568 that Yoshihide became Shogun.
Japanese: 結局、将軍に就けたのは永禄11年2月8日_(旧暦)（1568年3月16日）。
English: Moreover, in the meantime, Yoshihide couldn't enter into Kyoto and stayed in Settsu Province even after getting the Imperial proclamation to become Shogun.
Japanese: しかもその間、義栄は入京さえ儘ならず、将軍宣下を受けても、なおも摂津国に留まり続けていた。
English: Furthermore, having wasted time for assumption to Shogun brought undesirable result for the Miyoshi government which couldn't fix new system.
Japanese: しかも、将軍就任に向けて無駄に歳月を浪費した事態は、新体制を固めきれない三好政権には好ましくない結果をもたらした。
English: In October of the same year, Nobunaga ODA, who recommended Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA, a younger brother of former Shogun Yoshiteru, as shogun, set the army heading for the capital.
Japanese: 同年9月、前将軍・義輝の実弟である足利義昭を推戴する織田信長が上洛軍を発したのである。
English: The Miyoshi clan, who remained the option of 'the decisive battle with Yoshihide' against the Oda clan advancing forward by avoiding the Rokkaku clan in Omi Province, finally selected the evacuation to Awa Province.
Japanese: 近江国の六角氏を退けて進軍する織田氏とは、「義栄を戴いての決戦」を選択肢に残していた三好氏ではあったが、結局は阿波国への退避を選択した。
English: After that, the Miyoshi clan showed the resistance to the Oda clan several times, but the road to reinstatement of Kinai region was closed due to the aggravation of the state of the war.
Japanese: その後も、織田氏への抵抗を幾度も示した三好氏ではあったが、戦局の悪化により畿内復権の道は閉ざされた。
English: However, Hirashima Kubo gradually lost the meaning of existence because not only was Nobunaga and his army, which was the supporter of the government led by Shogun Yoshiaki, too strong for the Miyoshi clan to stand down by themselves, but also there was the fear of the close-knit relationship between Hirashima Kubo and the Miyoshi clan, who went to rack after that.
Japanese: だが、義昭政権の後ろ盾であった信長軍は三好氏が単体で退けるには強固であった点に加え、その後も没落していった三好氏との結びつきが余りにも強すぎた点を懸念されてか、平島公方は、その存在価値を次第に失っていったのである。
English: Since the family of Hirashima Kubo was in an adversary relationship with Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA, who was supported by Nobunaga ODA, they had been treated coldly between the Azuchi-Momoyama period and the Edo period.
Japanese: 織田信長に擁立された足利義昭とは対立関係にあった家系のため、安土桃山時代および江戸時代でも冷遇されていた。
English: After the Edo period, Hirashima Kubo was treated as Kyakusho (guest shogun) by the Hachisuka clan, the lord of Awa Tokushima Domain, but they were treated more coldly, such as getting nominal stipend as little as lower ranked feudal retainers from the Hachisuka clan, and being forced to change their family name from Ashikaga to Hirashima.
Japanese: 江戸期以降では阿波徳島藩主・蜂須賀氏の客将として扱われたものの、その蜂須賀氏からは下級藩士並みの微禄しか受けられず、しかも足利氏の家名を平島氏に改姓させられるなどの一層の冷遇を受けた。
English: In contrast, the descendant of the Kamakura Kubo could continue as the Kitsuregawa clan of daimyo (Japanese feudal lord), though they were a descendant of the Ashikaga clan like Hirashima Kubo.
Japanese: 同じ足利氏の後裔でも、大名・喜連川氏として存続できた鎌倉公方家の後裔とは対照的である。
English: Even though they were under such a misfortune, they have a lot of connoisseurs of Chinese classic books among the successive family heads including Yoshinori, and they used to establish a kind of large cultural salon.
Japanese: そのような不遇下でも、歴代当主の中には漢籍などに長けた者（義宜）などが多く、一大文化サロンのようなものを形成していたこともあった。
English: However, the ninth family head Yoshine ASHIKAGA, who couldn't stand for such a disfavor, finally broke away from the Hachisuka family and left from Awa, and changed their family name back to Ashikaga in 1805.
Japanese: しかし文化_(元号)2年（1805年）、あまりの冷遇に耐えかねた9代足利義根は、遂に蜂須賀家から離反して阿波を去り、姓を足利に戻した。
English: After that they lived in Kyoto, and earned a sparse living as being supported from temples associated with the Ashikaga clan including Toji-in Temple.
Japanese: その後は京都に居を定め、等持院など足利氏ゆかりの寺院からの援助で細々と食いつないでいたという。
English: In the Meiji Period, they required a peerage as legitimate descendant of the Ashikaga Shogun Family, but not only was it rejected but also they couldn't become even a Shizoku (warrior class), namely, their social status was just a Heimin (commoner) because they left Awa which had been their territory.
Japanese: 明治後、足利将軍家の正当な末裔として爵位を求めたが、領地であった阿波から離脱していたなどの理由をもって却下されたうえ士族にさえ成れず、平民身分とされた。
English: However, the Kitsuregawa clan, who was treated as direct line of the Ashikaga family, had accepted adopted children (adoption from the Hosokawa clan, their collateral line) to have them succeed to the family, whereas the Hirashima Kubo family was directly descended from the first family lord MINAMOTO no Yoshiyasu.
Japanese: ただ、その足利家の直系として扱われていた喜連川氏が、養子を受け入れて存続していることに対し（傍系細川氏からの養子縁組）、初代源義康からの血を絶やさず受け継いでいるのは、この平島公方家である。
English: "Awa Ashikaga-ke Monjo" (the written materials of the Awa-Ashikaga family), which is the records of the Medieval period and modern times passed down in the Hirashima Kubo family, was investigated in former Nakagawa-cho, Tokushima Prefecture for compiling the town history.
Japanese: 平島公方家に伝えられた中世・近世文書群である「阿波足利家文書」は、徳島県旧那賀川町で町史編纂にあたり調査が行われた。
English: Now the part of the materials contributed to Awa Kubo Minzoku Siryokan (Folk Museum of Awa Kubo) in Anan City, and it is permanent exhibition.
Japanese: 現在その一部は阿南市立阿波公方・民俗資料館に寄託され、常設展示されている。

Japanese: 一方、壬生村郷士南部亀二郎の子守女（色黒・短身・ちぢれ毛の醜女）と仲が良かった。

English: He was promoted to become Kogakubo (descendants of one of the Ashikaga families that held the office of the Kanto district administrator) (reign: 1561? - 1562?) and its position was approved by Kanpaku of that time but at the present day he is not included among the successive kubos.
Japanese: 古河公方（在位：1561年？-1562年？）として擁立され、当時の関白にもその地位を承認されているが、現代においては歴代公方には数えない。
English: His younger brothers were Iekuni ASHIKAGA, Fujimasa ASHIKAGA, Teruuji ASHIKAGA, Yoshiuji ASHIKAGA (Kogakubo) (Among them, Yoshiuji was a half brother with the same mother).
Japanese: 弟に足利家国、足利藤政、足利輝氏、足利義氏(古河公方)（このうち義氏は異母弟）。
English: Originally, he was the legitimate successor of Kogakubo, but a daughter of the Hojo clan, who was a concubine of Haruuji, gave birth to Yoshiuji ASHIKAGA, and as a result he was persecuted by the Hojo clan who wanted Yoshiuji to be the head of the family.
Japanese: 本来は古河公方の正統な後継者の立場だったが、晴氏の側室である北条氏の娘に足利義氏が産まれたため、義氏を当主にしたい北条氏により迫害を受けた。
English: With assistance of Kenshin UESUGI who was Shugo (provincial constable) of Echigo and Kanto Kanrei (a shogunal deputy for the Kanto region), he was able to expel Yoshiuji ASHIKAGA, which enabled him to enter Koga Imperial Palace and become Kogakubo for a period of time (he was not included among the successive kubos).
Japanese: 越後の守護で関東管領でもあった上杉謙信の助力により足利義氏を追放し古河御所に入ることができ一時期古河公方となった（歴代には数えず）。
English: However, when the Uesugi army withdrew from Kanto region, the Gohojo clan launched an attack again and he disappeared after the fall of Kogagosho (residence of Kogakubo).
Japanese: しかし、上杉軍が関東から引き上げると、後北条氏が再び攻撃を始め、古河御所の陥落以後、消息がわからなくなった。
English: After that, Kenshin approved Yoshiuji to assume office as Kogakubo under the Etsu-So Alliance (the Echigo and Sagami alliance) and as a result Fujiuji was completely excluded from the successive kubos.
Japanese: その後、越相同盟にて謙信が義氏の古河公方就任を認めたため、歴代から完全に除外されてしまった。
English: Fujiuji was the first son of Haruuji ASHIKAGA and, as apparent from the fact that one character of his name was taken from 13th shogun Yoshifuji (later Yoshiteru) ASHIKAGA, he was the next generation of Kogakubo approved by the Muromachi bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun) in Kyoto.
Japanese: 藤氏は足利晴氏の長男であり、13代将軍足利義藤（後の義輝）の一字を名乗っている事からでも明らかなように、京都の室町幕府からも認められた次代古河公方であった。
English: His grandfather Takasuke YANADA was the key figure in pro-Hojo group in the family, who worked hard to welcome a daughter of Ujitsuna HOJO, Hoshunin (disambiguation) as Haruuji's second lawful wife.
Japanese: 祖父・簗田高助は家中の親北条派の中心として、晴氏の後添えの正室に北条氏綱の娘・芳春院(曖昧さ回避)を迎え入れるように尽力した実力者であった。
English: However, the relationship between Haruuji and the Hojo clan was gradually deteriorated and finally Haruuji fought against Ujiyasu HOJO in the night battle of Kawagoe and he was defeated.
Japanese: ところが、次第に晴氏と北条氏の関係が悪化していき、ついには河越夜戦で北条氏康と戦って敗北してしまう。
English: After that, Haruuji was forced to retire under pressure from Ujiyasu HOJO, and Yoshiuji ASHIKAGA (child of Hoshunin), who was a younger brother-in-law of Fujiuji, was promoted to become the next Kogakubo.
Japanese: その後、北条氏康の圧迫で晴氏は隠退させられて、藤氏の庶弟にあたる足利義氏（芳春院の子）が次の古河公方に立てられた。
English: In 1557, after Fujiuji's attempt to raise an army in order to take back Koga-jo Castle was failed, Haruuji was confined and Fujiuji was expeled.
Japanese: 弘治(日本)3年（1557年）、藤氏は挙兵して古河城奪還を試みるが失敗し、晴氏は幽閉され、藤氏も追放されてしまう。
English: Even then, Fujiuji waited for a chance to make a comeback by relying on Harusuke YANADA (child of Takasuke) and Yoshitaka SATOMI in Awa Province.
Japanese: それでも、藤氏は簗田晴助（高助の子）や安房国の里見義堯を頼って再起の機会を窺った。
English: Harusuke and others asked Kanto Kanrei (a shogunal deputy for the Kanto region) Norimasa UESUGI who stayed in Echigo and Kenshin UESUGI (later Kenshin UESUGI) who helped Norimasa UESUGI to rescue Fujiuji.
Japanese: 晴助らは越後に滞在中の関東管領上杉憲政と彼を助けていた上杉謙信（後の上杉謙信）に藤氏救援を依頼した。
English: In 1561, although Kagetora NAGAO's attempt to fully conquer Odawara-jo Castle in order to rescue Fujiuji and put down the Hojo clan by sending a large force of over hundred thousand soldiers including Kanto Kanrei Norimasa UESUGI and Kanpaku (chief advisor to the Emperor) Sakihisa KONOE to Kanto region was unsuccessful, he brought most of Kanto region under his control by completely conquering Koga Imperial Palace and banishing a puppet of the Hojo clan Yoshiuji ASHIKAGA who barricaded himself in the Imperial Palace (Fujiuji entered Koga instead).
Japanese: 藤氏救援と北条討伐のため、永禄4年（1561年）、関東管領上杉憲政・関白近衛前久を擁して10万余の大軍で関東に出兵した長尾景虎は小田原城の完全攻略には失敗したものの、古河御所は完全に制圧し、御所に籠る北条氏傀儡の足利義氏を追放する（代って藤氏が古河に入った）など、関東の大半を制した。
English: Kagetora NAGAO was handed over the estate of the Uesugi family as well as the position of Kanto Kanrei from Norimasa UESUGI since he successfully guarded Kogakubo instead of Norimasa UESUGI, which was Kanto Kanrei's original duty.
Japanese: 上杉憲政に代わって、関東管領の本来の職務である古河公方を擁護することに成功した長尾景虎は、上杉憲政から上杉の家督と関東管領の地位を譲られた。
English: Kenshin UESUGI (for convenience, hereafter referred to as Kenshin) consulted with Norimasa UESUGI, Sakihisa KONOE and others and then completely denied Yoshiuji's assumption of Kogakubo and decided to officially appoint Fujiuji as Kogakubo as a successor of Haruuji ASHIKAGA (who died in the previous year) in the name of Kanpaku and Kanto Kanrei.
Japanese: 上杉謙信（便宜上、以後は謙信とする）は、上杉憲政・近衛前久らと相談、義氏の古河公方就任を完全に否定し、関白・関東管領の名において藤氏を足利晴氏（前年死去）の後継として正式に古河公方として任命することを決定した。
English: The decision was accepted by anti-Hojo territorial lords in Kanto region such as the Satake clan and the Satomi clan, and therefore Fujiuji ASHIKAGA served as Kogakubo for several years.
Japanese: これを佐竹氏・里見氏ら反北条氏の関東諸大名も受け入れたため、数年の間、古河公方は足利藤氏となったのである。
English: However, when Kenshin returned to Echigo without Fujiuji, Ujiyasu HOJO immediately launched a counterattack and attacked Koga in October of the same year, which resulted in Fujiuji escaping to Nobuie TAGA (Kurodo, Takaaki, vassal of the Satomi clan) in Kazusa Province.
