The Tales of the Heike; ; Burton Watson and Haruo Shirane
The Tales of the Heike focuses on the lives of both the samurai warriors who fought for two powerful twelfth-century Japanese clans-the Heike (Taira) and the Genji (Minamoto)-and the women with whom they were intimately connected.
The Tales of the Heike provides a dramatic window onto the emerging world of the medieval samurai and recounts in absorbing detail the chaos of the battlefield, the intrigue of the imperial court, and the gradual loss of a courtly tradition.

It was written in eastern Japan as a sequel to the narratives describing the Hogen and Heiji disorders in the mid-twelfth century.
In its long history, the performed Heike has changed from being oral narrative, through being a tightly controlled professional monopoly, a hobby of the intelligentsia, ritual music of the shogunate, and a fossilized relic of traditional music.
Heike monogatari variants are broadly divided on the basis of textual features into two types.

 Heike monogatari
The medieval Japanese prose narrative Heike monogatari (The Tale of the Heike) follows now the victors, now the vanquished, in an account of a one of the great turning points in Japanese history.
Since Heike is on every school curriculum, some of the materials are aimed at students, or created with their help.
I find it interesting to know how Heike is taught in courses on "World Literature." Here, for example, are the questions asked by Mary Ella Phelps, teaching at a community college in Texas.

 The Heike Monogatari: Knighthood in Medieval Japan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Tale of the Heike is a classic text which represent political turmoil and violent conflicts which ravaged Japan, and which brought the Taira clan from the heights of absolute rule and prosperity to complete annihilation.
The Heike Monogatari is an intense and potent fictional history that brings the elements of the past into a somewhat orderly and manageable text and has been a primary source of Japanese understanding of samurai loyalty and character.
Despite some of the ambiguity of the formative years of the Heike Monogatari's development, the Kakuichi text of 1371 is a fusion of the various competing versions which preceded it, perhaps drawing on elements outside the schools of recitation as it grew.

 The Tale of the Heike (1988)
This is the most complete, and perhaps best, translation of the classic Japanese war tale, Heike monogatari, which narrates the rapid decline and tragic downfall of the mighty Taira clan during the fateful five years after 1180.
And indeed, THE TALE OF THE HEIKE is just that, the story of transience and of pitiful fate, as well as a record of honor, deceit, bravery, and cowardliness.
There is some potential for confusion when the occasional Chinese or Japanese legend or story sidetracks the author, but they all form a coherent whole, and serve as establishing precedents or providing allusions to what is to come.

 Heike Monogatari
The "Tales of the Heike" (Heike Monogatari) is a collection of episodic stories related to the rise and downfall of the Taira clan in twelfth century Kyoto.
Specifically, it narrates the events surrounding the Gempei Wars of 1181-1185, in which an alliance of clans led by the Minamoto drove the once mighty Taira and their allies from the capital, chasing them as far as the southern island of Kyushu in an attempt to exterminate every last member of the clan.
The "Tales of the Heike" seems to have been compiled piecemeal, as stories told about the Gempei battles were polished and elaborated, and exists in several versions.

The tradition of heike biwa, born in the 13th century, is the Heike monogatari, the tale of the late 12th-century war between the Minamoto and the Taira clans, chanted to the accompaniment of the biwa.
Incorporating elements of Buddhist vocal music, the voice part of heike biwa employs an extremely wide pitch range as well as a great variety of narrative styles, from recitation to song.
The heike biwa tradition was passed down mainly by blind musicians of the upper classes, but from the 17th century it was also cultivated by sighted literati.

Students who have been introduced to Heike will recognize historic features of medieval Japan: warring clans, a villain who pretends to be a blind ballad singer (like the biwa hoshi), a monk who may be a retired warrior, and a fox out of Shinto folklore.
The Genji laid siege to the Heike who are holed up in this fort; however, the Genji are unable to advance further, for the fort has three sides that are literally impossible to storm, and its fourth side is a long and steep cliff.
This legendary action spelled the end of the Heike and their power as the Genji warriors destroyed the Heike and forced the survivors to swim to their boats anchored in the harbor, effectively ending Heike dominance forever.

 Heike Monogatari Text
The hard-pressed Heike samurai may have considered themselves overmatched, for they hurried back into the stronghold to fight from its protection.
The men on the archery platforms aligned their arrows and released showers of missiles, but because the Genji numbers were fewer by far, Naozane and the others escaped harm, lost in the melee.
But the Heike horses were exhausted from having been overriden, underfed, and forced to stand in boats for long periods of time.
