Hōjō Tokimasa became the protector of Minamoto no Yoritomo (1147–99) and eventually his ally in 1181, when Yoritomo rebelled again the powerful Taira Kiyomori (1118–81), who dominated court politics. The violent battle depicted here is just one episode in Yoritomo’s struggle to assume power over the imperial court at Kyoto.
