（前頁よりの続き）…（算の本意を）失って、人の世に役立たないことばかりが多くなってしまっている。始めに述べたように、無用のことであって、精巧になればなるほど、ますます本意を失ってしまう。漢土（中国）はその術は拙いといえども、本意が今に至っても存している。このことから見れば、日本は古より確かにその術が巧みではあったのである。
上古のことは措いて、中古以降のことを考えてみると、保元・平治の頃、新院（崇徳院）が御決意なされて大乱が起こり、源為義はその子の義朝のために七条朱雀にて弑され、平清盛は伯父（長盛）を殺した。義朝は尾張国知多郡にてその家臣の長田（忠致）に弑され、八郎為朝は伊豆の島（大島）にて殺され、院（崇徳院）は讃州（讃岐国）に移された。治承には頼政の乱があり、保元より平家が世を取って、その勢いは四海を震わせたと言えども、治承の末より源氏が関東に群起し、義仲が入洛してより、元暦・文治に至るまで、安徳天皇は西海（壇ノ浦）にて崩御され、頼朝が四海を平定したとはいえども、頼家は実朝に殺され、実朝は公暁に殺され、公暁もまた時政（北条氏）によって亡ぼされた。和田・秩父・三浦・佐々木の旧臣は時政のために家を滅ぼされた。これより鎌倉六代将軍に移ったとはいえども、順徳院の御意によって承久の乱が起こった。北条家が権を取って、泰時・時頼には美徳があって政事に私なく、その身は四品以上を受けず、式目を定め誓いをなし、親疎偏頗の邪（よこしまなこと）なく…（次頁へ続く）

(Continued from previous page) ...(the true meaning of mathematics has been) lost, and what remains is mostly impractical and remote from human affairs. As stated at the beginning, it is a matter of no practical use, and the more refined it becomes, the more its original purpose is lost. In China (Kando), though the techniques may be less sophisticated, the original intent has been preserved to this day. Viewed from this perspective, it is certain that Japan has excelled in technique since ancient times.
Setting aside ancient history and thinking about the medieval period onward: around the time of the Hōgen and Heiji (Disturbances), the Retired Emperor (Sutoku-in) made his resolve and great upheavals arose. Minamoto no Tameyoshi was killed by his own son Yoshitomo at Shichijō Suzaku; Taira no Kiyomori killed his uncle. Yoshitomo was killed in Owari Province's Chita District by his retainer Osada (Tadamune); Hachirō Tametomo was killed on the island of Izu (Ōshima); and the Retired Emperor (Sutoku) was transferred to Sanuki Province (Sanshū). In the Jishō era, there was the Rebellion of Yorimasa. From the Hōgen (Disturbance) onward, the Taira clan seized control of the realm, and their power shook all under heaven; but from the latter part of the Jishō era, the Minamoto clan rose up en masse in the east, and from Yoshinaka's march to the capital through the Genryaku and Bunji eras, Emperor Antoku passed away in the western seas (at Dan-no-ura). Although Yoritomo pacified the realm, Yoriie was killed by Sanetomo, Sanetomo was killed by Kugyō, and Kugyō too was destroyed by Tokimasa (of the Hōjō clan). The old retainers of the Wada, Chichibu, Miura, and Sasaki clans had their families destroyed by Tokimasa. Although power then passed to the six successive shoguns of Kamakura, the Jōkyū Disturbance arose at the behest of Retired Emperor Juntoku. The Hōjō clan seized power, and Yasutoki and Tokiyori possessed virtuous character, showing no favoritism in governance; they themselves refused to accept rank above the Fourth Grade, established the Formulary (Shikimoku), took oaths, and acted without bias or partiality toward kin or strangers...
