This war tale, which begins with "The sound of the bell at Gion-shoja," was written in the Kamakura period and was told and spread by a blind biwa priest. The Taira clan, led by Taira no Kiyomori, reached the height of their prosperity in the late Heian period. However, conflicts with Emperor Goshirakawa led to the uprising of Minamoto no Yoritomo, Kiso no Yoshinaka, and the Genji, leading to the downfall of the Taira clan with the Battle of Dannoura. From the Heian period to Kamakura, this is a great epic poem that tells of the events that greatly changed the history of Japan, from aristocratic society to samurai society. We present this in modern Japanese translation, with light-hearted narration by Ozaki Shiro. --------------------------------------- [Table of Contents] 00:00 Opening 01:24 Preface 03:55 Ambush at the palace 12:09 Bass 14:32 Bald boy 17:00 Glory of the clan 18:42 Gion 40:25 Two generations of empresses 45:30 Forehead-hitting debate 47:15 Burning of Shimizu 51:37 Togu's departure 53:15 The prince's ride 1:00:31 Shishigatani 1:11:23 Ukawa's army 1:16:37 Prayer 1:26:26 Waving the portable shrine 1:32:54 Burning of the palace--------------------------------------- [Books] ・Modern Japanese translation of the Tale of the Heike (Vol. 1) (Iwanami Gendai Bunko) https://amzn.to/3H726HT ・(Vol. 2) https://amzn.to/33OzUew --------------------------------------- [Images and video materials] ・Gekutei's "Gio" https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A6%... ・BEIZ images https://www.beiz.jp/ ・Pixabay https://pixabay.com/ --------------------------------------- [Music materials] ♪Cold Blue - Astron --------------------------------------- My name is Masuta.
