The Genpei War: The Samurai War That Ended an Era

[@comfyactor]

Your use of drawings and maps from old sources is first-rate, your narrative expertly done. To anyone who wants to read Heike Monogatari (in any of its translations, or in the original), I strongly recommend watching this video a number of times.

[@KhunGongPha]

Old sources, such as? please help a learner!

[@lloydbotway5930]

to@@KhunGongPha: there are a great many illustrated versions of the Heike, and stories from that era. All the ones I've seen are in Japanese bookstores and libraries; but many good American university libraries have related material. You should ask Buyuuden (who made this video) what sources were used.

[@ts_classic]

As a Japanese and a history fan, this video was the most impressive thing I have EVER watched on youtube. I never expected a youtube video explaining japanese history this deep and effective. not only the knowledge but use of sources and capacity of summurising and retelling. Just amazing. Thank you very much I really enjoyed and appreciate it.

[@aliwish1901]

Please, please, please keep making these videos! I was worried you stopped. I'd pay to watch these.

[@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory]

No need to worry! This one just took a really long time because of the scale. No plans to quit any time soon!

[@AdamOwenBrowning]

@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory If you open up some form of monthly subscription, people would happily chip in small amounts to show respect for the amount of work you do in collating the information from all these sources, scripting it out coherently, recording it and getting these videos out. I am greatly appreciative of your work and personally believe you deserve some reimbursement for this light yet academic material Thank you again.

[@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory]

@@AdamOwenBrowning I appreciate that a lot. My reservation about setting up any subscription-type thing is that, between juggling my job and KZbin, I'm not sure I have time to offer any extra perks to supporters, which makes me feel a bit guilty. However, it's reassuring to know that the sentiment is out there! I will continue to consider it going forward.

Amazing job describing the Heian period of Japanese history. I feel so sad for many of the people in this story, but mostly for children, who deserved a better world than they lived in, during the time.

[@misterhiggledypiggle]

As soon as I saw the run time of this video I was excited! This was excellent, and I learnt so much about the history and legends of The Genpei war and late Heian/early Kamakura period. It's interesting that I already knew about the Battle of Dan-no-ura because of the Heikegani being mentioned in Carl Sagan's Cosmos documentary series, so it felt a bit like coming full circle to learn the full story. Can't wait for the next video!

[@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory]

That's super cool! I had no idea that Dan-no-ura came up in Cosmos.

[@misterhiggledypiggle]

@@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory It is cool isn't it?! It was episode 2 I believe, but yeah for whatever reason that's always stuck with me, again fantastic work on this video!

Appreciate your work. I loved the attention you gave to the little side bits of info and legends and myths around these events. I first became aware of this war after reading the historical fiction, Shike, by Robert Shea, as a teenager.

Watching thing for the umpteenth time. You tell a great story! Seriously, this video is very skillful storytelling. It's clear, engrossing, and informative. I know you're proud of this video, and you should be. I'm a 60 year old from Eastern North America, and I am very smug, thanks to you. I can be ever so knowoedgable about what my anime loving juniors are talking about. Lol. And I'm one of those old guys who likes to surprise young people wiyh my eccentricity. Lol.

Simply one of the best videos on KZbin. Incredibly dense in information - you will almost certainly have to rewind at points - and with incredible visuals, this is 100% worth 90 minutes of your time.

[@harushinonomiya]

Great video, the rise and fall of the Taira (Heike) is my favorite part of Japanese history because the characters involved are so epic. Thank you very much for the video, it is very pleasant to see people striving to transmit and pass this story to the world. I felt your love for this content when you said you planned to tell this story from the very beginning of your channel. This video added to the recent anime Heike Monogatari made me very happy. Maybe you think I'm an asshole, but I have a small observation: Emperor Go-Shirakawa's death should be approached with more drama (something kind of sad, because with him went the long but passionate Heian period). Once again, great video, I'm so glad I saw it. Finally, something that unites me a lot in this story is the fact that I am descended from Kumagai Naozane, the murderer of Atsumori; and even though I am his descendant, I find Atsumori's death immensely sad.

[@BuyuudenJapaneseHistory]

I was actually watching the recent anime while I made this video! It was great. I hope it makes its way to a western audience too. I agree with you about how great the story of this conflict is... It's just so deep, epic, and complex. I feel like I only scratched the surface in this video. And I don't think you're an asshole at all! Haha. I think everyone has parts of the story that they personally find more or less compelling and dramatic. Most of my sources covered Goshirakawa's death quite quickly, so I did too. However, I absolutely agree with you that it marked the end of an era. That's super cool that you're descended from Naozane... and amazing that you know that! Based on the story, it seems that Naozane really didn't want to kill Atsumori, but the circumstances left him with no choice. A very sad, but very moving moment, for sure.

The real beauty is the heavenly retribution that struck Yoritomo and his descendants afterwards.
