Comment: “The Battle of the Genpei War: Minamoto no Yoshitsune at the Hiyodorigoe Pass” is a woodblock print that depicts the famous Hiyodorigoe no Sakasa (Reverse Descent at Hiyodorigoe) scene, a moment during the Genpei War (1180–1185). In this iconic episode, Minamoto no Yoshitsune uses a daring tactic to escape from the pursuing Heike forces, famously leaping down a steep cliff at Hiyodorigoe.
