Description

The first part of Taihei-ki has a distorted narrative structure. It is centered on the rise of the Emperor Godaigo's aristocratic regime and the decline of the Kamakura government by samurai warriors, but strangely enough it ends as quite a different story of the Genji Family's triumph over the Heike Family. As the keyword "jyokyu" shows, however, the author could powerfully unite these apparently unrelated materials into a single narrative by skillfully arranging the political viewpoints of both the aristocracy and the samurai warriors in the critical period.
