	Station 20 - Shiogama Discussion
		Noda no Tamagawa, Oki no ishi, Sue no matsuyama, etc. are all places that have been celebrated in poetry, but if one just looks at them realistically, they are nothing more than a ditch full of water, an ordinary stone, and a common field of pine trees.
		Noda no Tamagawa today is a small, ditch-like river, but in ancient times it was a deep tidewater and with the moon rising over the ravine it was a famous poetic spot for moon viewing.
		In this poem oki no ishi is a generic term meaning only a stone in the offing, but it may also be used as a proper name to indicate a s pecific stone.

		It was here that the great warrior and general, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, sought refuge in 1188 from his jealous brother, Yoritomo, the founder of the Kamakura shogunate; and here Yoshitsune took his final stand and perished with his family — the most famous example of tragic nobility in Japanese history.
		The three generations of glory of the Fujiwara of Hiraizumi vanished in the space of a dream.
		No other poet in the Chinese tradition could use language the way he could, or produce so many different effects; as a result, we often come away from him with a sense of exhaustion, both emotional and intellectual.

		As an island nation where contacts and disputes with other races were few, Japan experienced no pressures threatening her system of government from the outside, nor was the emperor needed as a military leader symbolising the unity of the nation to other nations.
		The aim of the Heike was to replace the Fujiwaras in controlling the Imperial family rather than to form their own shogunate government.
		Subsequently, after destroying Fujiwara Yoshihira, son of Fujiwara Hidehira who had given shelter to Yoshitsune, Yoritomo -- resistance overcome throughout the land -- proceeded to Kyoto, where in 1190 he had himself appointed a councillor of state and finally, in 1192, Seii-Taishogun.
