This famous scene from "Heike Monogatari" became a subject in plays and songs titled "Atsumori" of Noh (traditional masked dance-drama), Kowaka-mai (story-telling with a simple dance) and Yokyoku (Noh song), and also in the Kabuki play titled " Ichi no Tani Futabagunki" (Chronicle of the Battle of Ichinotani).
この『平家物語』の名場面は、のちに能『敦盛(能)』、幸若舞『敦盛(幸若舞)』、謡曲『敦盛(謡曲)』、歌舞伎『一谷嫩軍記』などの題材となった。
