459 Kamiyagawa VS Minamoto no Yoshitsune

After the decisive battle between the Minamoto and Taira clans,

Minamoto no Yoshitsune escorted the surviving members of the Taira clan back to Kamakura, preparing to meet with Minamoto no Yoritomo. However, upon reaching the outskirts of Kamakura at Koshigoe, Minamoto no Yoritomo sent envoys ordering Minamoto no Yoshitsune not to enter the city but merely to hand over the prisoners.

Minamoto no Yoshitsune did not have the long, heartfelt conversation with his elder brother that he had anticipated.

His most admired older brother, the Third, was no longer the brother who had fled with him.

Emperor Antoku was dead, and Minamoto no Yoritomo began organizing the Kamakura shogunate, becoming Japan's first shogun, though the dynasty did not change.

A puppet imperial family, ruling over all under heaven.

He never met again with his brother, whose merits overshadowed his lord.
