Abstract

The Bunsei edition of Genpei-seisui-ki published in 1665 is very interesting, for it manages to have the story and the illustrations elaborately interact with each other. The iconic treatment of illustrations is also characteristic of it. Such an effectual method of illustrating has much to do with the fact that the text was originally written as a chronicle which describes the turbulent period from the Genpei War to the establishment of the Kamakura government.
