現代語訳

を行うよう仰せ渡され、すぐに牧野伝蔵殿を奉行にお付けになり、追って取りかかり申した。細川衆へも築山の件を仰せ付けられたところ、請け合い申し上げ、仕寄の先の山などを切り崩し、築山があるといってことごとく道作りなどを行い、その上で築山は成り立たないので、桟橋を組み上げるべきだと申された。そしてまた桟橋も道作りの上に仕寄を仕出し申し上げ、その上でまた桟橋も成り立たないと申された。しかし桟橋の件は、上使衆も仕にくい所であるので無用と仰せられるように承った。両用のためといって仕寄道または仕寄をも思いのままに行われた。拙者共は築山

一筋に行うよう度々伝蔵殿を通じて仰せ渡されたので、申し上げたい意見もございましたが、伝蔵殿がお留めになったので、築山一筋に申し付けた。鍋島殿も築山を行われた。細川殿の築山は、この前総様寄り合って土俵山を築いた。その築山はすでに十分で、それに少し嵩を土俵で置かれた。古くからの築山である。首尾はお合わせになったと見て申し上げる。拙者共は下地から山を築き立て申したため、殊の外飛び入り申した。伊豆殿・左門殿は度々家老共を召し寄せられ、仰せ付けられる事柄を明々とお書き立てになって、仕寄は配下でも仰せ付けられるので仕間

英語訳

was to be carried out as ordered, and immediately Makino Denzō-dono was appointed as magistrate and we proceeded to undertake this task. When the Hosokawa forces were also ordered regarding the artificial hills, they accepted the task, and saying that they would cut down the mountains at the front of the siege works and construct artificial hills, they carried out road construction throughout, and then stated that artificial hills would not work on top of that, so wooden bridges should be assembled. Then again, they constructed wooden bridges on top of the road construction and carried out siege works, and on top of that again stated that wooden bridges would not work either. However, regarding the wooden bridges, since even the imperial envoys found it difficult to execute in that location, I understand it was ordered to be unnecessary. Under the pretext of dual use, they carried out siege roads or siege works as they pleased. We were ordered to focus solely on artificial hills.

We were repeatedly ordered through Denzō-dono to focus on this single task, so although we had opinions we wished to express, since Denzō-dono restrained us, we proceeded with artificial hills exclusively. Nabeshima-dono also constructed artificial hills. Hosokawa-dono's artificial hills - previously everyone gathered together and built earthwork mountains. Those artificial hills were already sufficient, and a little additional height was added with earthwork. These were long-established artificial hills. I report that the results appeared to be coordinated. Since we built mountains from the ground up, they turned out exceptionally well. Izu-dono and Saemon-dono repeatedly summoned the senior retainers, clearly documenting the matters they ordered, and since siege works could be ordered even to subordinates, the work interval
