The Heike Story
When Sukemori is rude to a regent's procession and Kiyomori takes revenge, resentment of the Heike spreads through the capital. Shigemori sends Sukemori away and resigns his post, angering his father, while his sister Tokuko is to enter the court of Emperor Takakura. Watching Giō, a dancer who has lost Kiyomori's favour, take vows as a nun, Biwa tells Shigemori the future is not all bad.
