THE GEMPEI WAR

The Gempei War which took place between 1180 and 1185 was a national civil war between the Taira and Minamoto clans during the late Heian period of Japan. It resulted in the downfall of the Taira and the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate under Minamoto no Yoritomo, who appointed himself as Shogun in 1192, governing Japan as a military dictator from the eastern city of Kamakura.

The name Gempei or Genpei comes from the words Minamoto (Gen) and Taira (Hei, which was pronounced as pei)
These two families were fierce rivals, both were ancient families, descended from royalty.
The Heike or Taira had close ties with the court, and were well known as accomplished artists and men of letters as well as great warriors.
The Genji or Minamoto were rustics, and each side derided the other for their chosen lifestyles.

This guy is beautiful and i have bought the other Samurai looking mounted figures but might sit this guy out. He is similar to the other figures, too similar to warrant me paying a huge price in Aussie dollars. Not saying no, but its a lot of money to shell out when its point of difference is small

I think it's a good price for such a spectacular horseman compared to the competition.
Still, we have to cut back and, even if we didn't, this might be too pricey for us.
Best wishes and looking forward to seeing some updated Jacobite Rebellion from you.

Currently in New Zealand and visited our house and importantly storage unit with around 12,000 toy soldiers. All still safe and sound thank God. But earlier releases of JJD Jacobite Rebellion figures in NZ and newest releases in UK. Be a long time before I can get my cullodon on display in its entirety!

TM Terrain even made me a large marshy looking base with a stone wall to position British dragons firering into the Scottish flank.

One day.....

 

[jason foote]
