The Taira clan wielded great power in the Kanto region at the end of the Heian Period, and this was a large-scale rebellion against the governors the central government had dispatched. According to the text on the print, Minamoto no Yorinobu, sent as a military official, captured the castle by flooding it. With this victory, many members of the Taira clan in the Kanto region fell under Yorinobu’s control, which gave the Minamoto clan an opportunity to expand its influence in the eastern part of Japan. |
