Japan's most famous war tale about the fall of the Taira (Heike) clan and the victory of the Minamoto (Genji) during the end of the 12th century, marking a violent end to the largely peaceful Heian period. Also known as the Heike Monagatari, this military epic was compiled from several oral sources and finally transcribed in the 14th century.
