During a hunting party, the strong man Matano Gorō Kagehisa, who served Minamoto no Yoritomo (1147– 99), tosses a huge rock over a cliff. At the base of the cliff is Sanada Yoichi Yoshisada, a sixteen-year-old also known for his strength. Sanda Yoichi catches the rock and hurls it back.

What do you think the relationship is between these two men?

During a hunting party, the strong man Matano Gorō, who served Minamoto no Yoritomo (1147-1199), tossed a huge rock over the edge of a cliff. At the base of the cliff stood Sanada Yoichi, a sixteen-year-old who was known for his strength. Sanada Yoichi had inspired Matano Gorō’s jealousy, so the strong man aimed the rock directly at the youth. Sanada Yoichi simply caught it and hurled it right back.
