Following this war, the Genji family established the buke society that would exist until the Edo era. The statues of Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Genji) and Taira no Tomomori (Heike) stand in Mimosusogawa park, in front of the battlefield ruins, with the handprints of famous actors Takizawa Hideaki and Nakagoshi Noriko, who played in the drama about the battle of Gempei.

We took a detour to get there and were so glad we did!

Following the order of the white fox god, a shrine was established in 1955 for the joint tutelary goddess of Taikodani shrine in Shimane prefecture Tsuwano.
