		Kumagai Naozane beckons with his fan to Taira no Atsumori, challenging him to return to shore and fight (in the middle), and an overloaded boat has capsized, where the Minamoto warrior Chikatsune manages to seize Taira no Moromori, who is only 14 years old.
		Nasu no Yoichi is chosen to accept the challenge and, despite the fading light and strong winds, hits the target and the fan shatters in mid-air.

	Taira Munemori
		The Taira busied themselves preparing a defense of the western provinces into 1184 while Minamoto Yoritomo eliminated Yoshinaka (who had now become more trouble to the Minamoto then he was worth).
		In March 1184, however, the legendary Minamoto Yoshitsune captured Ichi-no-tani, and the war entered its final stages as the gate to the west was thrown open.
		Tomomori hacked his way back to the Emperor's ship and informed Antoku and his mother that all was lost, the two leaping into the ocean to drown.

		The Taira base was situated on the beach facing the mainland, with their fleet moored within easy reach in the shallows directly in front.

	JAANUS / Seｎbonzakura 千本桜
		The play is based on legends surrounding the defeat of the Taira 平 clan, in particular the legendo that the general Minamoto no Yoshitsune 源義経 had allowed the Taira generals Koremori 維盛 (1160-?), Tomomori 知盛 (1152-85), and Noritsune 教経 (1160-85) to escape.
		The play opens with a skirmish at the Horikawa 堀川 palace between the forces of the shogun, Minamoto no Yoritomo 源頼朝 (1147-99) and his brother Yoshitsune who is accused of harboring Taira sympathies.
		In Act VI after the Taira defeat Koremori's wife Wakaba 若葉, hiding in the hermitage in the northern Saga 嵯峨 in Kyoto, narrowly evades discovery when the loyal retainer Kokingo 小金吾 hides Wakaba and her son Rokudaigimi 六代君 under a load of hats.

	Heike Monogatari
		Kiyomori, the leader of the Taira clan at the beginning of the Gempei War, is described as a ruthless, emotional tyrant, hungry for power and willing to take any means to crush his enemies and gain it.
		Nasu no Yoichi's feat of archery is the subject for some of the earliest warrior prints, dating to the early eighteenth century.
		And the ghosts of the Taira, led by Tomomori?" For those who have encountered the heroic myths of Yoshitsune, the actual "Tales of the Heike" may come as something of a disappointment, for he is depicted therein as a brave, but utterly pragmatic general, far from the dashing, romantic figure of legend.

	[No title]
		In his steady envisagement of the horror that envelops the stupendous universe of science, in his power to evoke and revive old myths and superstitions, and by their glamour to cast a ghostly light of vanished suns over the darkness of the abyss, he was the most Lucretian of modern writers.
		Taïra no Tomomori, one of the chiefs of the clan, is celebrated in this weird rôle: old pictures represent him, followed by the ghosts of his warriors, running over the waves to attack passing ships.
		Though assured that we have yet no foundation for any belief in the persistence of consciousness after the death of the brain, we are bidden to remember that the ultimate nature of consciousness remains inscrutable.

	Fallen Warriors as Mass Media Stars: Popular Representations of Heike Monogatari in the Edo Period
		One explanation for this sudden shift of concentration to Taira no Tomomori in the nineteenth century, when there are few prints of him in the eighteenth, seems to be the focus on his character in later versions of Heike kabuki plays such as "Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura".
		In the case of Tomomori, the respect is not merely for the hero as great and noble man, but for the pained and suffering warrior, at the ultimate moment of wrath and utter defeat.
		By contrast, portraits of Tomomori seldom show him at quiet moments of dignity and reflection; the favored pose is rather the grimace of death or of vengeance.

		Takenouchi no Sukune is said to have lived 306 years, and served Emperor Chuai, Empress Jingu and Emperor Ojin: he is usually associated with Jingu (170-269), for whom he was Grand Minister, and with whom he invaded Korea.
		I am inclined to accept the latter, as the Fujiwara were courtiers, the Taira warriors, and the outcome began the climb to dominance of the warrior class that culminated in the establishment the Kamakura Shogunate in 1192.
		Taira no Kiyomori (1118 - 1181), fought beside the Minamoto against Sutoku's rebellion, however, when the clans became competing powers, he turned on them, executing all the males except three boys, Yoritomo, Noriyori, and Yoshitsune, an oversight his sons would regret.

		Contrasting with the hina matsuri with its refined elements and courtly overtones was the tangu no sekku, generally referred to in English as the Boy’s Day Festival, with its overt martial emphasis.
		Through a process of natural evolution and periodic government intervention, over the course of the 17th century the outdoor elements of the display gradually moved indoors, with the kabuto ningyô, now largely divorced from their helmet stages, assuming greater prominence.
		Figures such as Soga no Gorô, Watônai, Benkei, and Taira no Tomomori with their quick tempers and fearsome visages became emblematic of this style of acting.
