Restraints and qualifications notwithstanding, a daimyo was generally speaking lord of all he could survey-and often a good deal more-from the top of his castle’s keep. It would be more accurate, if less colorful, to say that han bureaucracy was lord of all it could survey. For, in domain affairs as much as in their relations with the shogun, the daimyo were ‘’victims’’ of bureaucratization; most of the authority they had wielded at the beginning of the seventeenth century as personal rulers quickly passed to councils of hereditary ‘’clan elders’’ (karo). Such councils were the local equivalents of the shogun’s senior and junior councils, and under their general control the routine administration of the domains was carried on by a small number of high-ranking officials (bugyo) and deputies (daikan or gundai) in charge of groups of villages.

⇒幾つかの自制項目や制約事項があるにもかかわらず、一般的に言って、大名は城の天守から検分できるすべての―そして、しばしばずっと多くの―ものの君主であった。（ただし）藩の官僚が検分できるすべての君主であった、と言う方が華やかさは劣るがより的確であろう。

＞For, in domain affairs as much as in their relations with the shogun, the daimyo were ‘’victims’’ of bureaucratization; most of the authority they had wielded at the beginning of the seventeenth century as personal rulers quickly passed to councils of hereditary ‘’clan elders’’ (karo).
⇒それゆえ大名は、将軍との関係と匹敵するほどの程度に、領地問題では官僚化の「犠牲者」であった。すなわち、17世紀の初頭では個人的な支配者として彼ら大名が振るっていた権限の、その大半が急速に世襲的な「一族年長者」（家老）の協議会へ移行していったのである。

＞Such councils were the local equivalents of the shogun’s senior and junior councils, and under their general control the routine administration of the domains was carried on by a small number of high-ranking officials (bugyo) and deputies (daikan or gundai) in charge of groups of villages.
⇒そのような協議会は、将軍膝元の年長（老中）および年少（若年寄）による協議会の地方相当版であり、彼らの一般的統制の下で領地の日常的管理が、少数の高位の役人（奉行）および村の集団を担当する代理人（代官あるいは郡代）によって、遂行されていた。
