Like Clouds or MistsThis volume is organized to roughly follow the order of events presented in the Kakuichi bon variant of the Heike. Essays and translations focus on a series of major events from the Heike: Kiyomori's rise (the Gi cycle of plays); Yoshinaka's push to the capital; the flight of the Heike and the battle of Ichi no tani; and the aftermath of the war. Each event features a series of one to three plays preceded by essays.
