The Heike Story

“The sound of the Gion Shoja bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sala flowers reveals the truth that the prosperous must decline…”
ㅤ
The late Heian period. The “Heike Family” is about to reach the peak of its prosperity in every aspect of power, military might, and financial resources. Taira no Shigemori, a man with eyes that can see the dead meets Biwa, a “Biwa Hoshi” who can see the future, and he gets told “you will all perish soon.” From an aristocratic reign to a Samurai’s reign, this is the beginning of the 15 turbulent years of historical change in Japan.
