Battle of Ichi no Tani Folding Screen by Kano School, The Battle of Ichi-no-Tani [right of a pair of Scenes from the Tale of the Heike], mid 17th century. These screens illustrate two battles of the epochal Genpei War (1180–85) as narrated in the Tales of the Heike, an epic semihistorical account of two rival clans’ fight for control of Japan, written in the early 1200s. Each screen narrates a single battle through a number of small episodes divided and framed by gold clouds, landscape elements, and architectural spaces. The right screen shows scenes related to the Battle of Ichi-no-Tani (March 20, 1184), during which the Minamoto clan, identified by the white banners they carry, made a daring attack on the rival Taira clan at a Taira stronghold. The left screen shows the Battle of Yashima (March 22, 1185), another defeat for the Taira. The devastating war came to an end only a month later with the victory of the Minamoto, who took the title shogun, thus becoming Japan’s first military rulers.

一谷の戦い 狩野派手付合戦 一谷の戦い 17世紀中頃これらの画面は、1200年代前半に書かれた、日本の支配をめぐる2つのライバル氏族の戦闘を物語る平家物語の2つの戦いを示している。各画面は、金雲、風景要素、建築スペースで分割された多数の小さなエピソードを通じて単一の戦闘を語る。右図には一ノ谷の戦いの場面が描かれており、源氏は白旗に見立てて、平氏の本拠を大胆に攻めた。左画面には屋島の戦いの様子が描かれており、平家方の敗北が記されている。わずか1ヶ月後に将軍に就いた源の戦勝によって壊滅的な戦乱は終結し、日本初の軍事支配者となった。
