Asakura Chronicles - Asakura Shimatsuki

Japanese: 朝倉始末記 - あさくらしまつき
Asakura Chronicles - Asakura Shimatsuki

This is a war chronicle that records the rise and fall of the Asakura clan, a feudal lord in Echizen (Fukui Prefecture) during the Sengoku period. It mainly consists of two parts: "Kaetsu Tojoki," which records the conflict between the Asakura clan and the Ikko Ikki of the neighboring Kaga province, and "Esshu Gunki," which records Oda Nobunaga's conquest of the Asakura clan. It is thought to have been written by a former retainer of the Asakura clan shortly after their downfall. The account is relatively accurate, except for some alterations to embellish the Asakura clan during their period of rise. There are many copies, but published versions include "Nihon Shiso Taikei 17: Rennyo Ikko Ikki" (Iwanami Shoten) and "Shiseki Shuran 6."

Japanese:

越前(えちぜん)(福井県)の戦国大名であった朝倉氏の興亡を記した戦記物語。内容はおもに、朝倉氏と隣国加賀(かが)の一向一揆(いっこういっき)との抗争を記した『賀越闘諍記(かえつとうじょうき)』と、織田信長の朝倉氏攻略を記した『越州(えっしゅう)軍記』との二つからなる。朝倉氏滅亡まもないころ、朝倉氏旧臣の手によって書かれたものと考えられる。記載された記事は、台頭期の年代に朝倉氏を修飾するための改竄(かいざん)のあるほかは比較的正確である。多くの写本があるが、刊本としては『日本思想大系 17 蓮如(れんにょ)一向一揆』(岩波書店)、『史籍集覧 6』などがある。
