The Battle of Yashima, from The Tale of the Heike (Heike monogatari) 17th century Tosa School The late Heian period (794-1185) was afflicted by social upheaval and rivalries among military clans. A decades-long conflict between the Taira and Minamoto families over imperial dominance culminated in the Genpei War, a struggle that was recounted in The Tale of the Heike, compiled before 1330. At the naval Battle of Yashima in 1185, Minamoto warriors led by Yoshitsune (1159-1189) routed the Taira from their encampment by the Inland Sea. On the screen at right is an episode about the young Minamoto archer Nasu no Yoichi. Goaded by a Taira woman who placed a fan upon a pole in the prow of her boat, the unproven warrior rode his horse into the sea and shot the distant, bobbing target. Enmity gave way to admiration as both sides hailed his remarkable achievement.. The Battle of Yashima, from The Tale of the Heike (Heike monogatari) 45182
