Akira Sakata Gion Shoja The Tale of the Heike Trost Records Famous opening of "The Tale of the Heike" - "The bells of the Gion monastery echo with the warning that all things are impermanent. The blossoms of the sala trees teach us through their hues that what flourishes must fade. The proud do not prevail for long but vanish like a spring night's dream. In time the mighty, too, succumb: all are dust before the wind." (Burton Watson, trans.)
Akira Sakata The Death of Atsumori The Tale of the Heike Trost Records At the Battle of Ichi-no-Tani, Atsumori is killed by Kumagai Naozane. Near the end of their combat, Kumagai discovers Atsumori to be the age of Kumagai's own teenage son, and he also realizes that the moving flute music he'd heard coming from the enemy's camp the night before the battle was probably being played by Atsumori. This famous scene provides the basis for the Noh play, "Atsumori", by Zeami, as well a bunraku puppet play, later adapted for the kabuki stage. Recent translations of "The Tale of the Heike" are by Royall Tyler (2012), Burton Watson (2006), and Helen Craig McCullough (1990). Recent translations of the Noh play, "Atsumori" by Zeami, are by Karen Brazell (1998) and Royall Tyler (1992), but the one by Arthur Waley (1922) is also very worth consulting.
