A man who revolutionized a stagnant era, Taira no Kiyomori. Now that this extraordinary revolutionary is attracting intense attention, it has been realized as an original Zippo from Shinchosha!
The first thing that catches the eye is the vivid "red" that envelops the entire piece, symbolizing the Taira clan.
On the front, Kiyomori's own handwritten character "平" (Taira), authenticated as a "genuine work" by experts, is etched. On his shoulder is placed the "Agemao butterfly," the family crest of the Taira clan.
The back is designed with the Great Torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine, a World Heritage site that conveys the prosperity of the Taira clan to the present day, and the opening lines of "The Tale of the Heike," famous for "The sound of the bell of Gion Shoja..." In particular, the text of the opening lines faithfully reproduces the shading of the "Engyo-bon," the oldest existing manuscript of "The Tale of the Heike" (Important Cultural Property).
This is a masterpiece that allows you to fully experience the Japanese aesthetic of mujo (impermanence).
