In this book, you read Kiyomori Taira in his prime, aged between forty and fifty. He had eliminated his military rival, Yoshitomo Minamoto. Yoshitomo's beautiful mistress, Tokiwa, turned herself in at Rokuhara. Kiyomori pardoned her little boys from the death penalty. Kiyomori fell in love with Tokiwa, and Tokiwa loved him. Nevertheless, Kiyomori only visited her once at home. Tokiwa married a nobleman and overcame Konnomaru's accusation of infidelity to her husband. Kiyomori showed not only his military but also his political qualities. The most powerful politician in Japan, Goshirakawa, saw his politics as safe only with Kiyomori's army in the background.
