520 3 |a These volumes are based on earlier fictionalized accounts of the Hōgen Insurrection of 1156 and the Heiji Insurrection of 1159, both of which are centred on power struggles within the palace in Kyoto. The tales were already being circulated by itinerant chanters (biwa hōshi) by the early Kamakura period (1185-1333) and remained popular through the centuries.
