	Taira Munemori
		It may be that Munemori hoped that this split would bode well for the Taira - he maintained a forward base at Ichi-no-tani in Settsu, just in case the opportunity for a counter-attack presented itself.
		For his part, Munemori was a little lukewarm on the notion of suicide and so hesitated, despite the curses of his own mother (who accused him of actually being the son of an umbrella salesman - literally).
		Munemori became infamous for his ineptness and quite beneath contempt for not dying with his clan at Dan-no-ura on 25 April 1185.

		Minamoto no Yoritomo (May 9, 1147 - February 9, 1199) was the founder and the first shogun of the Kamakura dynasty of Japan, who ruled from 1192 until 1199.

	Minamoto no Yoritomo Summary
		By the 12th century, this emergent warrior class was dominated by two great clans, the Minamoto and the Taira, both of which traced their descent from the imperial family itself--that is, from former princes who had gone out to the provinces and had settled there.
		During the late 11th and the early 12th centuries, chieftains of the Minamoto and Taira increasingly came to participate in the politics of the court, and as the result of two armed conflicts in Kyoto, in 1156 and 1159, the Taira succeeded in supplanting the Fujiwara as the most powerful ministerial family in the land.
		Yoritomo's authority, which was restricted chiefly to the provinces of eastern Japan during the war with the Taira, was made national in scope in 1185, when he received permission from the throne to appoint his vassals as stewards to various private estates throughout the country and as constables or protectors in each province.

	The Tale of the Heike (1988)
		The sense of mono no aware pervades the narrative and along with the exploits of warriors, there are poignant recitations of touching poetry, and frequent "drenching of sleeves" with crying.
		After two decades, the Taira had become embroidered in court politics, and have become refined in the arts of poetry to such degree, that they started to neglect their warrior roots.
		By the way, since this is the story of the Taira, the author neglects to mention the ultimate destiny of Yoshitsune, who disappears after being chased out of the capital by his brother.

	Taira no Munemori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As his father Taira no Kiyomori lay on his deathbed, Kiyomori declared, among his last wishes, that all affairs of the clan be placed in Munemori's hands.
		In 1183, as the rival Minamoto clan gained power, and following the defection of Emperor Go-Shirakawa to the Minamoto side, Munemori led his forces, along with the young Emperor Antoku west, to the Taira strongholds of Shikoku and Kyūshū.
		Munemori took part in nearly every battle of the war, and was captured at the Battle of Dan-no-ura, and later executed in Kyoto in late 1185.

		The result was an exponential growth in the power of the two greatest warrior clans, the Taira (or the Heike) and the Minamoto (or the Genji).
		This was a turning point in Japanese history, for the power to determine the affairs of the state had clearly passed to the warrior clans and their massive private armies.
		Seeing this, it became apparent that the power of the Taira had to be clipped in some way, so the retired Emperor Go-Shirakawa attempted to lay a military trap for Kiyimori with the aid of a minor Genji lord, Yukitsuna.

		In 1180, Yoritomo was defeated at Ishibashiyama, his first major battle; but his early years as an insurgent chief were mostly spent in consolidating his power over the warrior aristocrats in the Kanto area, most of whom accepted his authority peaceably.
