As for the Heiji Rebellion, it was yet another brief civil war between rival subjects of the cloistered Emperor Go-Shirakawa in 1160, fought in order to resolve a dispute about political power. The battling parties were the Taira clan and the Minamoto clan, the latter of which lost and its leaders banished, though this action was one of many which eventually led to the Genpei War, in which the Minamoto Clan took their eventual victory, the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate under Minamoto no Yoritomo, and the downfall of the Taira Clan was brought about.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eAltogether, there are 163 full page woodblock illustrations throughout, many being double page scenes, with depictions of court meetings, massive, scaled battles, looting and plundering, and more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eNine volumes in quarto (25.2 x 18 cm), 26, 25, 24, 25, 24, 24, 23, 38, 34 leaves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eThese volumes are in very good shape, with some rubbing and wear to the bindings.
