Listen to the Heike Monogatari on the Heike Biwa

Yoshinaka Kiso looks back | Listening to the Tale of the Heike on the Heike Biwa | Volume 9 "Kiso's End"

I know better than anyone that that woman and that man are strong.

[About this concert]
This is a concert where you can listen to the Tale of the Heike told to the accompaniment of the Heike biwa along with a modern translation. The venue is Garden & Space Kurukuru, which is about a 3-minute walk from Enoden Wadazuka Station. The end and beginning of the garden intersect each season, and the Enoden train passes right next to the room. You can feel the dynamism of various lives in this building. The story depicts the dynamic lives of those who fought in battle 800 years ago. The intersection of the present and the past, the intersection of the end and the beginning. I hope you can feel that moment here. Individuals are welcome to participate.

[Program synopsis]
Tale of the Heike, Volume 9: "The Last Days of Kiso"
Yoshinaka Kiso is cornered. Yoshinaka urges Tomoe, a female warrior who remains loyal to the end, to leave the battlefield. After much conflict, Tomoe decided to part ways with Yoshinaka and challenged him to a final battle. After that, only one person remained on Yoshinaka's side, Shiro Imai Kanehira. A deep bond and a promise made. Kanehira sent Yoshinaka to Awazu no Matsubara, and in order to buy a little time before Yoshinaka commits suicide, he confronts his opponent single-handedly.
