Description:Hiyodorigoe' from the acclaimed series, 'Genpei', chronicles the 12th century battles between the Minamoto (Genji) and the Taira (Heike) clans for supremacy in Japan. - During the Battle of Ichi-no-tani, the Genji forces launched an attack on the unprotected rear side of the Heike fortress on the shore. This assault was executed from the steep Hiyodori cliff above, - a terrain typically deemed too precipitous for horses to navigate. Here, in this weird imagery of 'Hiyodorigoe', the tattooed Genji soldiers ride on horses shaped like women from the Heike clan. - The entire series was showcased in the British Museum exhibition of 2009. Hideo Takeda, as a comic satirist, has been one of the best recognized contemporary Japanese artists.
