After suffering defeat at the battle of Ishibashiyama in 1180 Yoritomo put military affairs into the hands of his more capable brother Yoshitsune and cousin Yoshinaka: both were excellent generals.
Yoshitsune went on to ensure Yoritomo's position by crushing the Taira at the famous battle of Ichinotani and then annihilating the clan's last remnants in 1185 at the naval battle of Dan no Ura, which ultimately ended the Gempei Wars.

 Thar They Go!...: A Bit About My Work
The above pictures are from our 2004 production of the kabuki play A Chronicle of the Battle of Ichinotani.
Sometimes we find published plays with stories we really like, but for one reason or another aren't appropriate for us (for example, Peter Brook's wonderful version of the Mahabharata which is nine hours long, or the available translation of Ichinotani Futaba Gunki with its missing acts and ornate wording).
As a playwright having witnessed others stage my plays only ten years later, I find that sometimes my expressions have been outdated (fast-changing world!) or roll falsely off the tongues of new actors.
