In February 1160, saying 'We should not transfer political power to the Retired Emperor; the Emperor should directly administer political affairs,' Tsunemune and Korekata harassed Goshirakawa, when the latter was looking outside from a stand in the mansion of FUJIWARA no Akinaga located in Hachijo Horikawa, by covering with wooden plates to obstruct Goshirakawa's field of vision.
翌永暦元年正月、経宗・惟方は「世ヲバ院ニ知ラセマイラセジ、内ノ御沙汰ニアルベシ（院に政治の実権は渡さない、天皇が政務を執るべきだ）」と称して、後白河が八条堀河にあった藤原顕長邸の桟敷で外を見物していたところに、材木の板を打ち付けて視界を遮るという嫌がらせを行った。
