Grammar usage notes

Formal! Rarely used in modern Japanese (old-fashioned)

Use からには and 以上は instead.

上 in this phrase is a noun, and will be attached to the adverbial particle は. This creates a literal meaning that is similar to 'over and above (A), (B)'. This 'over and above' has a similar nuance to 'with that said', or 'all things considered' in
